"It's hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them," James told reporters in Cleveland on Sunday. "I'm a winner. It's not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you're not going to congratulate them. That doesn't make sense to me. I'm a competitor. That's what I do. It doesn't make sense for me to go over and shake somebody's hand."

Not shaking your opponents hand is when you show that you were really beaten. If you gave 100% and really felt you were prepared to win and then you lost, you should be able to look the dude that beat you in his eyes and give him his props. Running off the court and leaving your teammates hanging to get bashed by the media is a ho-cake move.

It's ok on the blacktop.

It's a bitchass move at this level.

It's an even bigger punk nigga move considering who we are talking about.

" If somebody beats you up, you're not going to congratulate them. "

Oh really?! What about all the dudes you beat up on the way to your 66 win season. Did they congratulate you? What about all the dudes you swept in the playoffs? Did they congratulate you? He's a punk for this one. He will recant one day.

With Kobe, he's LeGold

Without Kobe, he's LeBronze.

If the NBA covets HS talent they'll have to accept displays of youth when they rear their head. Pro or not dude is hella young and it showed.

He's not a bad guy he's just a young cat who thought the reg season punched his ticket to the Finals.

Think again homie. Danny Ferry has work to do. They better shake Wallace & Sczcerbiak's contracts, maybe package Gibson with Pavlovic & go get an Al Harrington type w/range, D & length cuz they need to build an Orlando killer. If Oralndo can resign Hedo I only see this team getting better.

Very insightful comment Anon. He's under a microscope, that enlarges his "bad" behavior. Hell, I almost threw my blackberry at the wall yesterday so It's hard for me to judge.
