Kicking garbage cans, snapping at reporters, complete no show last night. Where is the 24/7 video loops of him kicking garbage cans and screaming at teammates as he dropped a goose egg in the 4th quarter?! Yea yea I know it's different because he's won right?! Only ppl with rings can act like this. This kind of stuff happens regularly in every sport. People get frustrated. The ultra competitive take their bad games and losing personally and sometimes let it out the wrong way. Just interesting how some view a specific wr in blue differently than the countless other athletes that do this that aren't under constant scrutiny.
but go ahead with what you were saying
ODB is considered one of the top AT HIS POSITION, RIGHT NOW and has won nothing really, but some regular season games. He also came up short when it mattered in the playoffs so far.
It's a bit harder to accept immature antics by the latter.

but how did this turn into an OBJ discussion?
This thread is about excusing Odell more than it is about being critical of Lebron.
I posted this on another thread, but here's my guess as to what happeend to LeBron
I think that, strategically, "LeBron was taking a backseat to Love and Kyrie to let them try and impose their will on the game, which worked like gangbusters, but by the time the Celtics made their run in the 4th, it was tough for him to turn it on.
I actually think it is a smart strategy. Thus far, the postseason for the Cavs have been LeBron playing at a superhuman level and controlling all aspects of the game.
But when they face the Warriors, which I think everyone expects to happen, that won't be enough to beat that super team. LeBron will need Kyrie and Love to play great, confident basketball. So having games like last night, where he lets them take over will bear fruit in the next series.
They still should have come away with the win, though."
Jesus Fucking Christ. Idiots.
Jesus Fucking Christ. Idiots.
It didn't "become" a thread about ODB as much as it STARTED as a thread about ODB.
From the OP:
"Just interesting how some view a specific wr in blue differently than the countless other athletes that do this that aren't under constant scrutiny."
Jesus Fucking Christ. Idiots.
Has nothing to do with how bad he was. More had to do with how he reacted to how bad he did. The same type of stuff that leads some members of this board to want to trade the best thing that has happene to this franchise since Eli was drafted.
Russell, Wilt, Magic, Bird, Jordan, etc. all had bad playoff games.
Which is that they are: Idiots.
Well, he was getting heckled.
Exactly. He has acted like a child his whole career down to f bombing all over the place during his parade. But the same here that hound beckham for punching walls despite his team leading top of the league leading stays say he needs to go then in the same breath excuse lebrons antics because he's won championships. Which is it? Hypocrites.
