The Bad Boys got ripped for doing this...wonder if 'King' James will get a pass...?

Who cares? It's just basketball.

Who cares? It's just basketball.

This is the right answer.

Who cares? It's just basketball.

You're right. I say we shut down this board and never discuss sports again.

[Fool]

Done. Thx glan.

[geerussell]

Who cares?

We, the fans?

[Darth Thanatos]

I'm a fan as well, but I'm not going to get worked up about a NON-ISSUE by typing a 500 word rant on how LeBron James is evil and wants to eat our children.

[Pharaoh]

Um, I don't think anyone is actually fuming over the issue.

I think the question needs to be asked:

Why is it such a fucking problem when other players do it but when Lebron does it the league looks the other way?

There are 2 articles on Yahoo's NBA site right now complaining about Lebron walking off the floor so at least some media dudes are "taking him to task" for his actions.

But the fact he did not get fined sends a message to all players in the future:

You can skip the media interviews if you wish and you won't get fined.

AND any franchise with some balls could appeal any fine the league handed down if one of their players skip a session, citing the "Lebron Case".

It's definitely worth the discussion. If I have to hear about how LeBron is such a great teammate, a great competitor and a great leader, and have that shit shoved down my throat every time I turn on an NBA game, then I would like others to make the counterpoint and show how much of an immature little bitch he is. I don't think about this during the day, but if we're discussing basketball topics (this being the basketball forum), I figure it warrants a small discussion.

[Fool]

I don't think he's calling for you guys not to talk about it. Just that he doesn't care enough to.
