Lebron- The King?

I hear everyone talking while Cleveland is going into Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, that not only is Lebron the best player in the NBA, but he may even be more than that. I disagree... I do not think Lebron is better than Kobe, Wade, or MJ. Now, as of how well their seasons went, I think Wade had the best individual season, then Lebron, then Kobe.

That's not what I want to talk about though. It's the fact that I hear that Lebron is such a great role model... This week's $25,000 fine against him, says otherwise. I mean I'm sure Lebron is great guy and all, but let me tell you what he did, and then, what he said in response to it.

Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Lebron and the Cavaliers are getting blown out. They lose 103-90. Lebron is not happy. Understandable. Then, he pulls something stupid. He storms off the court, doesn't congratulate anyone from Orlando, not even his olympic teammate Howard, doesn't go in the handshake line, and then proceeds to shower and leave, ignoring a mandantory media session.

Now here's his response... "It’s hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them, I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them. That doesn’t make sense to me. I’m a competitor. That’s what I do. It doesn’t make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand."

Can you say ignorant? I hope he understands why everyone is saying that he might not be the best role model for their kids. I hope he learns from this because could get CRAZY good. Better than Kobe or Lebron though? I doubt it.
