Lebron James just schooled a reporter!

[Marv_Albert]

Anybody catch that, def need a link.

JEFF/INSIDEHOOPS SUMMARY OF IT IS HERE: http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=7746

[Brickz187]

I just seen this said many times on twitter. What did he say??

[ShannonElements]

Yeah, reporter tried to make LBJ look like a punk, who looks like a punk now.

[kkling]

If you like Lebron he schooled him.
If you dislike Lebron he dodged the question.

[Mr. Jabbar]

Anybody catch that, def need a link.

location: miami cruise ship, did not read thread after that :oldlol:

[LBJWADE]

If you like Lebron he schooled him.
If you dislike Lebron he dodged the question.

True. But what is Lebron suppose to say... "This is the reason why I came here. I know I can't close out the good teams. Duh...."

[whoartthou]

i defintely saw that.

Lebron bossed him

[Iraqnback]

I saw that......I understand the hate on LBJ but as a reporter, you have to at least TRY to be objective. He wear his true emotions on his sleeve and LBJ shoved it up his butt.......:facepalm

[Abd El-Krim]

Reporter was such a hack. Reminded me of an ISH fanboy. Just stood up and was all 'you haven't been showing up in the 4th quarter and that's when superstars are supposed to be made - what's up with that Lebron?' I expected the dipshit to call him Robin.

[Marv_Albert]

He's the reason why they are in the finals right now.

[asdf1990]

Reporter: lebron seems like u are shrinking in the fourth, thats when superstars become superstars, what's going on.

Lebron: I am a 2 way player, I saw wade had it going and we let him carry the offensive load. U just lookin at the stat sheet, go watch the video of the fourth and see the other things I did and ask me a better question tomorrow.

[Samurai Swoosh]

He's the reason why they are in the finals right now.

[DStebb716]

You fools are the same ones that complain about reporters that ask stupid questions. I love this guy going hard and speaking the truth. It's obvious that Bron doesn't show up and is Wade's ***** at times, so why not call him out? Get some good news to write about. It's not just "How does this win feel?" That's boring and anybody can do that.

[Kingwillball]

Thought he Closed out Boston and Chi ??? They are not good all of the sudden ?

"ask a better question tomorrow"......


yup...Mad:lol

[ball_handler]

actually the stat sheet made lebron look like he actually contributed, so if i was him i would prefer people to look at the stats rather than watch the film

[Pointguard]

If you like Lebron he schooled him.
If you dislike Lebron he dodged the question.

Under any circumstance you don't ask a question that dumb. The reporter left his professional base and let his hate guide him into a question that could easily expose him. Lebron called out his lack of skill and exposed him.

ASDF1990 paraphrased it the best:
Reporter: lebron seems like u are shrinking in the fourth, thats when superstars become superstars, what's going on.

Lebron: I am a 2 way player, I saw wade had it going and we let him carry the offensive load. U just lookin at the stat sheet, go watch the video of the fourth and see the other things I did and ask me a better question tomorrow.

[ace_gold_26]

Thought he Closed out Boston and Chi ??? They are not good all of the sudden ?

So much hate for lebron. I guess people already forgot what he did against boston and chicago. Wade is playing out of his mind and has a better matchup in this series.

[Kurosawa0]

Seriously, people do realize Wade & LeBron are on the same team right?

[Pointguard]

Gotta love Dwades smirk at the end.

[LBJWADE]

Thought he Closed out Boston and Chi ??? They are not good all of the sudden ?

They are good teams and the reason they lost was because they were old (Boston) and young (Bulls). In the Bulls series they were in a positon to win 2/4 games that they lost and just choked. In the Boston series they looked old but found their rythm in game 3 but Wade took out Rondo so I guess they lucked out there too. And in Game 5 vs the Bulls Lebron was 1/11 after the 1st. They didnt start coming back until Wade finally started making his shots. Regardless neither Wade nor Lebron have been that great indivdually throughout the playoffs. They both have had serious ups and downs but have bailed each other out. All Im saying is that great players carry themselves....

My summary of it is here: http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=7746

Jeff

[B]

um.

[Pointguard]

Seriously, people do realize Wade & LeBron are on the same team right?

There are probably a thousand posts tonight that's trying to separate that fact from reality. As with this reporter, the hate for Lebron means that distorting reality is fair game. This reporter can be unprofessional and even lack skills to interpret the game but his hate must take precedence over his own career choice to be a journalist. Lebron's goal is to win a team game. People are trying to distort that and make it personal to fit into their own way of downing Lebron. There were post after the last game saying Lebron is trying to win FMVP. Its like one hater at a time. Lebron said he came to Miami to win. Not win finals MVP the first year.

[G-train]

Haha Lebron shut him down somewhat.

[widowmaker]

Question for tommorow:
"I watched the tape Lebron.. and you walked, double dribbled, and clanked two threes in the 4th quarter, what happened?"

[SIRI1]

http://twitter.com/#!/greggdoyelcbs

^even the reporter who asked the question said he got owned

[heyhey]

http://twitter.com/#!/greggdoyelcbs

^even the reporter who asked the question said he got owned

he's just being diplomatic. Lebron dodged the question all diva like for real.

like Wade said at half time, Wade is the captain of the team. Bron is the skipper

I wish I have press credential, would have addressed Bron as Lebrick

"Yo Lebrick y u dissapearing in the 4th?" :oldlol:

[mlh1981]

"That elbow acting up again, LeBron? What's up?"

[coin24]

I love how all the blind haters on here are clinging to the "its Dwades team" and "Lebron wont get finals mvp"... Pretty sure he wants to win a championship and the heat are pretty damn close to achieving that now.

All the idiots claiming the celtics, then the bulls would beat them easily:facepalm It must be burning you to watch the Heat win!!!!!

[50inchvertical]

Dude admitted he got "toasted," then wrote an angry, ill thought out article.

Dirk singlehandedly closed out the Celts and Bulls (on both ends), and all of a sudden he's no closer?

Wade had 12 baskets and 3 assists. LeBron had 6 baskets and 9 assists. Look at it like that and it;s 15 scoring plays each.

Then dude tries to get on LeBron for his "I'm going to be more aggressive to the basket" comments regarding free throws since LeBron only got 4, but he still had 4 dunks in the first half and a layup, so 5 of his 6 fgs were point blank. End of the day, they're up 2-1.

Haters gon' hate

he did?

[taucesays]

I'm glad there's a reporter out there that's willing to ask something other than a softie question. Everyone else is too busy washing LeBron's balls so he'll keep talking to them.

[ThatsGame]

So you would rather listen to reporter ask stupid questions?

[niko]

1) It was a stupid unfair leading question.
2) Lebron made the reporter look small.
3) Lebron's answer was also so clearly an excuse it made him look silly. "I'm not shrinking, i'm just defending" as if he can't do both. What the hell happened to Lebron?

[pegasus]

"Don't just look at the stat sheet."

Funny it came from the player who has built his entire career on stat sheets. :lol

I didn't like the way the reporter asked that question; he could have been more subtle and smart about it, but either way, I was glad that Lebron's inability to come through in clutch times in the NBA finals was brought up and everybody was able to hear it. And Lebron talking about his so-called great defense :facepalm Marion has been doing his thing all series long, so what is he talking about?

Lebron chose the Heat for moments like this. I have a huge problem with that, since those two guys are supposedly the two best players in the league, yet they need each other to play at a level like no other superstar has ever needed another great player to play at to win it all. That is why Lebron will never even be in the GOAT discussion.

[2swift4u]

stupid question. reporter is probably a pissed Dallas fan..

anyway it's true Lebron didn't do much in the 4th quarter.. but he did against Chicacgo when Wade didn't play well.. I guess that's the advantage of having 2 superstars in the same team.

Best case scenario for haters are on this scale:

1) Lebron play bad and loose. Pure ectasy, bliss and fantasy like euphoria.

2) Lebron play good and loose. A years worth of happiness and enough motivation to post three years of told you so threads. Still like a dream come true as claims will still be made he simply wasn't good enough.

3) Lebron play bad and win. Satisfaction that he still is unproven as clearly being the best. Joy in knowing that a better player can exist on his own team can perhaps legitimize that maybe even Bosh is better but you can't tell because its a "help me" situation going on in Miami.

4) Lebron plays well and win. Medication will help soothe crazy rationalizations, "I was right all the time. You could put Shaq's wife on that team and they would still win."

5) Lebron plays well and is totally responsible for championship. Eternal depression.

[Funnyfuka]

what are you suposed to do when someone so blatantly harass you out of the blkue without wearing any gloves.... No need to be nice when dude s obviously want to make you look like a fool because he s frustrated about his life for some reasons. Question was unprofessional and pain childish. The fake tough guy stare, bald head goatee combo was just the icing on the cake. LEbron could have answered in an even more brutal manner i wouldnt have been surprised. Dude is a moron and got served, next time he ll think twice about making a fool of HIMSELF with such unprofesionnal aggressions.

And to clarify, i root for the mavs and i dont particulary like lebron at all, it s even quite the oposite.

Heat are a team and everyone s doing his job and taking over when other arent that good, it s called teamwork and it works fine.

[DuMa]

handle yourself professionally and unbiased. :facepalm. dumb media.

[97 bulls]

Seriously, people do realize Wade & LeBron are on the same team right?
This exactly. If wade has the hot hand why go away from it to prove an agenda? The object of the game is to WIN. It doesn't mean james can't take over games and wade can't lock down defensively. Both are more than capable. And its obvious neither can win without the other. As every champion before them. That is if they win.

It seems that alot of you guys would rather be the guy putting up 35 pt in a loosing effort. Than put up 25 in a win. Makes no sense. Wade wouldn't be in that position without james.

Its the same argument I use for pippen

[catch24]

That reporter wrote an article about him "shrinking in the 4th quarter", right after LeBron tackled his dumb question. What an asshole. No athlete deserves to be disrespected like that :oldlol:

[50inchvertical]

2) Lebron made the reporter look small.
3) Lebron's answer was also so clearly an excuse it made him look silly. "I'm not shrinking, i'm just defending" as if he can't do both. What the hell happened to Lebron?
:oldlol: at my putting Dirk, late night. LeBron had the game winning assist. He routinely makes the right basketball play. It's obvious there are legions of people who will wait until whatever happens and hate him no matter what. He does not let them change who he is as a player, and just makes winning plays. End of the day people are left bitching because he didn't score enough in the 4th, but his team has a commanding lead in the series.


Here's that reporter's anti LeBron column by the way. You know he couldn't wait to pen and publish this http://bit.ly/jFrFjO

[kentatm]

:rolleyes:

yea, b/c guarding Shawn Marion, a guy Dallas does not run plays for and has no jump shot, is really really hard.

great two way play!

[kaiiu]

He is shrinking in the moment.


funny how a guy who wears a Check my Stats shirt and makes his living on stats is criticizing ppl for lookin at stats :oldlol: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[InspiredLebowski]

Gregg Doyle's a douche, the ultimate douche. Every column he writes is meant for nothing but page hits and to piss off a specific fanbase. It amazes me he writes for a national outlet. Whoever your local writer is that you hate and bemoan as the ultimate hack, he's got nothing on Gregg Doyle.

He guarded some of everybody actually. Either way, they got the W so people who like to hate just to hate, bitching because Wade scored more points than LeBron is just stupid. He had 4 4th quarter assists, to include on the game winning basket. Miami scored 42 in the 2nd half, Bron scored/assisted in 21.

Ok, this series Wade is scoring more. But nobody was complaining when LeBron was closing Mia or Chicago out by scoring and Wade was struggling, especially in that Chicago series. Nobody was calling him Robin or saying he was just along for the ride.

I think we all know how this story ended! Who got owned now?

And you ask me a better question tomorrow.When he was asked again after Game 6 he didn't even have the balls to answer;
letting big brother Wade do it for him. :roll:

[ChandlerParsons]

I think we all know how this story ended! Who got owned now?
Y u keep bumping threads months after the thing ended, maybe there can be epic bumps BEFORE the championship happened like that Heat fan's Championship Cruise thing

Nothing else going on, if you haven't noticed. So the Championship is the freshest basketball related topic.

[Nick Young]

Reporter: lebron seems like u are shrinking in the fourth, thats when superstars become superstars, what's going on.

Lebron: I am a 2 way player, I saw wade had it going and we let him carry the offensive load. U just lookin at the stat sheet, go watch the video of the fourth and see the other things I did and ask me a better question tomorrow.
Lol the 2 way player got sonned by Shawn Marion on one end and then shut down by Jason Kidd who has a 4 inch, 70 pound disadvantage on him on the other:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

MVP!

[greensborohill]

You know this reporter gets his D Sucked by reporter groupies for being the first guy to call a spade a spade and call out LeBron for having a shrivled up nut sack in the 4th quarters. He probably did that Isiah Thomas circle dance after game 6 was over.
