LeBron a Poor Sport?

The Cleveland Cavliers were eliminated from the playoffs on Saturday but they’re still getting plenty of media attenition most noticably LeBron James.

Much is being said of LeBron’s actions following the Game 6 loss when he left the court immedialtely after the bizzer sounded and did not talk to reporters after the game and instead went to the team bus.  Also the next day LeBron did not apolgize for his actions which angered many in the sports world.

When LeBron addresed the media finally he said this “It’s hard for me to congratulate someone after you lose to them. I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. But somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them on beating you up. That doesn’t make sense.”

I initially was not that upset after LeBron walked off the court and din’t shake hands.  He was upset and frustated and did not want to deal with everyhting.  That’s understandable and I was willing to give him a break if he apolgized and said he should have shook hands and congradulated them.

LeBron in the NFL?

Last week ESPN put out an article about the possibility of LeBron James in the NFL and how good he would be.  To sum it up it basically said while LeBron would most likely not pull an MJ and switch sports most people said he would be a good player.

After reading this I thought about for awhile before realizing that how silly it was.  If LeBron played football he would without a doubt be a pro bowl caliber player and one of the best in the league.

The Bleacher Report recently put out an article as a joke with ten books that unfortunately NFL fans wouldn’t be able to read.   It got me to thinking what other books you could add to that list.
