I think he realized what an asshole he came off as on his way to his mom's house. Expect a sorry speech in the next few days or so.
Update: Rachel Nichols reported Lebron did tell teammates how much they mean to him before he left validating what Mo said in his press conference.
However Howard said he was surprised at Lebron and he would of congratulted LBJ if teh role was reversed. Look again i still think LBJ is a better player than Howard but Dwight is more classy and humble and a better example as a sportsman heck he is better than Kobe at that as well ...but many guys Kobe included would not of done that ...
and im done on this topic dont want to be classified as a LBJ hater because I love many aspects of his game... again i just hate the hype and the media protection when he comes up short or shows huge ego ...

Kobe would have at least stayed and done whatever he thought MJ would have done in the same scenario...
james lost....so does this mean he's gonna change the tat on his back... to
"frozen one"
that is pretty funny ...but who has his number and the chalk like MJ ...
Put a towel over his head and tell people he couldn't talk or shake hands because he had a 120 degree fever?
If I rememer that time correctly, It was big news that Isiah tried to "freeze" MJ out during that ASG. Some of the other players went along because they were not happy with the way the media was treating MJ (I mean MJ was being overhyped to death..kinda like Lebron now) and also MJ didn't take off his jewelry and sweat pants for the first couple of rounds in the slam dunk contest.
By the time '92 Dream Team came along, nobody really cared for Zeke. MJ never did, Bird never did, and Zeke and Magic had a falling out when they traded shoves in the finals in '88.
I think that and a couple of other issue has Magic and Zeke not speaking to each other for awhile. I distinctly remember Zeke and Magic "making up" sometimes during the 2000 Lakers championship run.
All this hate. He's out of the playoffs why you worried?
I think its more the manner in which he went out, especially with him potentially being the face of the league and all and being front and center when the Cavs were on a roll.
Being upset is no reason to act like a little kid. His teammates had the class to address the media, but he just couldn't accept defeat.
not worried at all since he be bolting to the knicks anyway...
that cavs team are a joke....and they only have what 1 year left to find the missin piece for lebron or he bolts....and i doubt they could do anything since most of the players on their team are fkn jack .....
Not giving Dwight and his team props is unsportsmanlike but this is probably the worst state of mind he's ever been in whilst playing in the NBA.
Still no excuse. He got too high when his team was on a roll and too low when they got rolled out of the playoffs imo. Not saying you can't show excitement, but he went up too many notches likely thinking it would be a cakewalk to the Finals.
Exactly. It is more fitting to use the le on Kobe.
The dude carried a bunch of role players to 66 wins with a coach whos best play is "I'll give the ball to LeBron at the top of the arc".
WGAF after the season he has played. He's only human.
People still obsessed with LeBron when he's out of the playoffs. Why don't you focus on Lakers Magic? Spurs off-season?
My focus is more on:
1) Spur affairs
2) Current NBA basketball
The topic came up and I wanted to speak on it. His team evidently afforded him good amounts of rest throughout the season by contributing to and not blowing the gargantuan leads on opposing players as he and his cohorts made spectacles of themselves on the bench in the process. If you could do all that maybe you can learn a lesson from the guys that give you props after games in which you let them know you defeated them handedly and the media that follows you around non-stop and forces you on the public and address both in the bad times as well.
LeBron has no class, the biggest ego, choker, bad leader, cry-baby, crab walker.Haters you win.
that brand of basketball never works in the postseason
An ass load of people were saying the Magics brand of "shoot 76 threes a game" basketball wouldn't work. Proved to be the other side that didn't work.
Will LeBron pout, throw his teammates under the bus and whine about management to the media after a disappointing playoff loss?
In other words, will he commit a Kobe?
Opps, forgot to add rape to the list...
