Get off the Kings Back
I wish all the so called sports experts around the country would just shut-up and get off LeBron James back about the aftermath of the eastern conference finals and not shaking hands with orlando players and not immediately speaking with the media. It is becoming ridiculous. This is not the nhl which has a long standing tradition off lining up as a team to shake hands when a series ends. They also criticized him for leaving his teammates to answer questions about their season ending loss. First of all, who cares if he shakes hands or not, he is not the first, last, or only person who has done this. How can you expect the MVP, on the leagues best regular season team, to wade through confetti and seek out players on the opponent, who are celebrating and putting on championship hats and t-shirts, to shake hands? Do you think the magic players really even cared, or noticed until the media started asking questions about it? Not a bit. It is the most overblown and talked about topic in the history of sports. And the leaving his teammates to answer questions, good for him, they were the ones who stunk up the arena. LeBron put everything he had into that series, nearly averaging forty points and a triple double. And all of this Kobe would never do something like that can stop now, because he has already done worse in his career, like quitting on his team in a game seven against Phoenix, or calling out teammates and management and demanding to be traded. So please, stop acting like not shaking hands is the worst thing in the world, it was not a snub, he simply left the court and let the magic celebrate victory.
