Trust or false, either way.... this exposes LeBron as much of a bytch and sore loser that he really is. Sure, Jr Smith fuccked up... sure, Hill missed a free throw... yes, Lue never called time out. But the GAME WAS NOT OVER. LeBron quit and checked out on overtime when they still have 5 minutes to still win the game. And that's before him supposedly punching the black board. He quit during overtime...the game was still in play. He has zero excuse for how and why they lost that series. One play mishap that wasn't the end of the game itself should not be any legit reason. It just shows the lack of HEART this dude really is and it's that of that as a champion.
I could imagine Jordan be pissed, angry at his teammates and all of that in a disappointing loss. But the ONE THING Jordan would ever accept is quitting despite of it. In the 1993 finals, dude had to mostly carry the Bulls team to a triple overtime and they loss to the Suns in game three. Jordan scored like 51 points. Loss on their OWN FLOOR. Instead of sulking, he went at them harder in game 4 scoring 55 points and the game winning shot.... he teammates weren't helping much at all, but he refuse to use that as an excuse.... he did what he must to win at all costs. LeBron only wants to succeed, but not to be competitive to earn it. When it gets rough and his teammates are struggling, he quits. He make excuses.
So him punching the blackboard isn't a mindset of a champion. Having such a temper tantrum, especially just the first game isn't how you suppose to go out. That wasn't the same bullshyt energy when he lost to the Celtics in a blowout game one and his excuse was "he was feeling them out". Dude is all a charade. And then put it out there after he quit on that team during overtime all the way to getting swept that his hand was injured and insult OUR intelligence by putting on a cast immediately after the fact and FLAUNT it during the presser to imply he wasn't so-called 100% just to deflect from the fact he got swept in a final series for the 2nd time.. which getting swept in the finals in general is a rare thing.
For real. fukk this dude. He may have the physical dominance, he may have great skill sets, he may even have a high basketball IQ overall....but this does not have genuine heart of a champion. He always want to get it easy. He wants to make it about his BRAND, he wants the success without putting in the real work.
