Wade yelling at Lebron in Game 3

THEORY A

Remember when Wade tore into LeBron with three-plus minutes remaining in Game 3? When he yelled at him for eight solid seconds? When there was genuine anger in his eyes? When he did it right on the court, right in front of the other players, right in front of 20,000 fans and 10 million TV viewers?

LeBron was never the same after that.

When was the last time anyone ever really yelled at LeBron James? You'd have to go back to high school, right? He just spent the past 10 years being coddled by everyone (teammates, coaches, agents, entourage members, yes-men, general managers, owners, media members, etc.). Imagine he was a little kid (which really, he might be to some degree), and imagine you were his father and didn't believe in yelling at your kids. Now, imagine your kid screwed up in his second-grade play and, for whatever reason, you broke character, snapped, and berated him for eight seconds in front of everyone. How would he handle that? Poorly, right? He'd pretend it didn't affect him, but the more he thought about it, it would gnaw away at him (especially once his buddies said, "I can't believe your dad yelled at you like that").

Some great points by Bill Simmons tbh, what are your thoughts on this?

This is the footage, but you can't really see anything happen. JVG just talks about it a little toward the end.

Pippen and Jordan had their yelling matches as well...for different reasons though. While Wade was ing at Lebron for not being aggressive enough Jordan was ing at Pippen even though he was looking for his offense

6:32 - 8:00

I'm not buying that theory. Lebron was never the same after Game 2 when he started playing "Lebron ball" down the stretch, missed all those shots and the Heat blew that big lead and the game. I think Lebron's passiveness in the clip above and the rest of the series was all a by-product of Game 2. Lebron was already checking out before Wade lit into him.
