Lebron Abandons Team Midway Through 4th

[theman93]

What do we make of Lebron leaving the floor midway through the 4th instead of staying out there with his troops?

At least this would have been more respectable than completely LEAVING the court in a PLAYOFF game. :facepalm

LeThargic nowhere to be seen all game.

[FultzNationRISE]

Pretty sure we all live in glass houses, OP.

Maybe learn to practice kindness and empathy instead of lashing out with childish stone throwing.

Just a tip.

[Naero]

The game was practically over by halftime. It was wise for him to conserve himself for Game 6, and you detractors would've been more inclined to call him out for stat-padding that late than to give him credit for going out with a punch if he were to give it his all in the second half anyway.

Moreover, if you're criticizing a hobbled, 36-year-old LeBron for an underwhelming performance this game, then it's hard to deny he's truly in the GOAT conversation.

[Spurs m8]

Honestly, no words

The dude is such a little b1tch...there's no other way way describe it.

That leadership hahahhaha

His team would have been feeling bad enough...now he gonna be pouting and giving them the silent treatment in the locker.

It's not even the fact he didn't play in the 4th....he left the ****in bench and abandoned his troops..so he could go and have a teary in the locker room alone

Maybe he was changing his tampon

We're not talking about him staying in the game to stat pad.

We're talking about being a good enough teammate to wait on the bench with your teammates until the game is over.

Lefraud or Lebronze which is a better name?

I agree his leadership is overrated, but this isn't a tenable example. It seems much wiser to me for LeBron to receive treatment for his ankle in the locker room than it would be for him to lounge around on the bench in an already-unwinnable game.

Either way, everyone ITT should just calm down on the hate. The Lakers likely won't even advance past the first round this year, so the "LeGOAT" hype shouldn't be that insufferable beyond his most rabid stans.

Then how come Chris Paul can come back to the bench for multiple quarters until the game is over after reinjuring his shoulder, but Lebron can't stay on the bench with his teammates for another 5 minutes? After all, they both will need treatment no? Stop giving this man excuses. He just does not exemplify leadership.

He has that man on speed dial especially after that performance tonight.

[Shooter]

He just needs his Pippen. LeBron's Lakers were terrible last night.

Schroeder 0 for 9
Matthews 1 for 5
Caruso 2 for 8
THT 1 for 4

Combined 4 for 26, 11% FG

Yikes. Where's his Pippen?

LMFAO! LeTurnOver had the worst +/- on the Lakers (-24), even though he left crying with over 5min left in the 4th.

this is what happens when LeTravel is asked to be the 1st option.

"CP did this so LeBron should do it too!". :facepalm

If his teammates know he isn't impressed it's not so much of a bad thing. They need to man up. MJ might have punched Schroder in the mouth. You're acting like this has never happened before. Stop making a fool of yourself.

Imagine considering a guy who pulls this BS all the time "the GOAT". A GOAT who literally hangs his head like a crybaby leaving his teammates out there to get murdered while he stands there letting other team run a play 5 v 4 instead of getting back on defense.

A few years back Devin Booker got crucified for 2 weeks straight by the whole league for thinking double teaming in open gym pickup games was whack, yet people are really gonna ignore the fact that Lebron has given up on plays and choosing instead to cry like a baby on the other end of the court by himself like 4 times already in this series?? In playoff games??? IN THE FIRST HALF WHEN THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME TO TRY TO MAKE A COMEBACK?? That's literally the whackest shit I've ever seen from a hall of fame player in my life. Dude's such a clown, idk how some of you dudes choose to Stan him... :roll:

Terrible misrepresentation and oversimplification of my argument.

The argument was Lebron needed to leave early to get treatment on his ankle. Players (this isn't limited to Paul) need treatment all the time but stay out there with their teammates until the ship does down, especially in the playoffs. It shows comradery. And btw he's never left the bench early in any of the other games so this is already a false narrative.

1 Pippen?

LeBron needs like 3 Pippen's to win. When LBJ joined the Heat he teamed up with the equivalent of 2 Pippen's and still lost half of the Finals they went to. But if he had a 3rd Pippen they probably sweep all 4 Finals series.

This is honestly so bad...

He scored zero points this quarter too....then also pulls this
THEN leaves the team with 5 mins left and goes to the locker room.

Sorry...this is not leadership.

This is team cancer

[PP34Deuce]

Lakers didn't like each other and didn't trust each other. Lebron owns a big part of the blame.

I still think la wins game 6.

LeBron is the Lakers Pippen. AD is the real MVP of the team.

That is pretty pathetic of him.

it was a blowout game by that point, but ya. thats inexcusable "defense" by lebron. all 4 lakers get back, and this dude is out of the frame for like 5 seconds. :oldlol: lebron was clearly upset with ad not playing, but he's gotta reign everyone in. nobody wants to play with someone who doesnt look like they care. i'm fully expecting lebron to go off in game 6.

Sigh, again, Pippen could shoot terrible and still have a huge positive impact out there and not just because of defense. He was one of those rare players that made his teammates better and raised the play of the team on both ends of the court just by being out there. Schroeder could be averaging 20ppg and his overall impact wouldn’t be close to a Scottie Pippen’s.

[eliteballer]

He's doing it again.
