Moshier: Shame on "King James"

Shame on you, “King James.” You weren’t even a Prince after you and your Cleveland Cavaliers lost Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals to Orlando.

 

No win, so no handshakes, and no speaking to the media? C’mon, Lebron, you’re supposed to be better than that, aren’t you? You wear No. 23, don’t you? Do you think that other No. 23, would have acted that way?

 

No, Michael Jordan didn’t lose very often, but when he did, he remained a class act. When you finally decided to talk to the media, a day late, you said what you did – or didn’t do in this case – was “not being a poor sport.”

 

Oh no? Well, that was the message you sent. Face the music. Your teammates did. Why not you? When you did talk to the media, a day late, you called yourself “a winner.” Unfortunately, in defeat, you didn’t act like one.

 

You lost a game you’re getting paid millions of dollars to play, and then you lost some respect.
