I’m sure someone will mention the fact that he’s wearing a Yankees cap and what it all means… blah, blah, blah. I’ll I’ve got to say about that is: Indians beat them today, GO TRIBE!
I was at the game today, it was a great ending! Especially to see all those Yankee fans walk out with a grumpy face.
I am very disappointed to see him wearing a Yankees hat in this interview. Hasn’t he learned from last time? He should be smarter than that. I’m not going to make a big deal about it like some Cleveland fans, but I wish he would stop doing that.

Heartbreaker
I know Cavs fans don’t want to hear it but I think this is part of Lebron growing up and understanding how to be a leader.
It’s obviously more than a game for Lebron, and maybe last night there was nothing for him to say. But for the team leader and star it’s about more than just playing the game. The media is a conduit to the fans and therefore a crucial part of the NBA. Lebron was upset but it’s still important to stand by his team in defeat and show he’s the leader even when the fight is over and there’s nothing to play for. That’s why it’s so hard to be a true great leader and hold up your teammates through the worst and best of times. Jordan didn’t do it till he was older and to some degree Kobe hasn’t yet either. I hate to bring up Kobe because he just took out my team but last year after the finals beat down, he came out and faced the reporters even though he sounded like an arrogant whiner and didn’t have any answers.
I’m sure fans will give Lebron his respect and defend him for skipping out on the media. But he should show that respect back to the fans and face the TV cameras even in a bad defeat to thank the fans if nothing else, they are hurting as well. I’m not trying to trash Lebron but I believe he’s not just a normal player and should try to represent the NBA in a better manner.
low class moment for bron
im still a big fan of his
but he shouldnt have done this. pistons/hawks gave him props after they got beat he shoud have done the same to orl
Interesting opinion
Doesn’t anyone think what LeBron did might’ve been good?
This could have turned out a lot worse.
I don’t care if they shake hands or not. It’s not the first team that hasn’t done it and won’t be the last.
As for the postgame interview, again, this could be the better outcome. If he showed up for that, obviously the way he felt at the time, he could have said a LOT of stuff that he would regret later.
Maybe he knew this, and decided to just “disappear” just like the Magic did to the Cavs in Game 6.
I hold nothing against him. To many people, he’s still just a kid, and he will grow up.
Whether you take this negatively or positively, it’s up to you and your views.
But I am still a fan of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
