With that said, here's an interesting article on the topic of Lebron's questionable post-game conduct.

Lebron did congratulate Dwight Howard near the end of the game. The problem isn't that he didn't give respect to his opponent, the problem is that he didn't do it the way critics wanted him to do it.

I've done the postgame handshake, and it is what it is: a ceremony you're programmed to do. If someone felt so devastated about a loss that it broke them out their programming, I'm not going to hold it against them.
I've yet to hear an actual player call him out on this. This is less of an issue than when people guarantee wins.

Tim Duncan - such a beast. Shame his "hype" isn't even near Kobe or Lebron's when he has had an arguably better career than both.


It is a shame, but I think that he actually prefers to have less hype around him. Everything I've read about him suggests that he would prefer not to be in the limelight and have a puppet of him put in a huge commercial campaign. However, if someone were to offer to put him in a D&D commercial or something...


He had one a long time ago, pretty funny... Tim basically just stares at people and gets what he wants. Forget which company it was for tho. Maybe he can do a SC2 commercial since he played SC..
wtf was that signature

I'm pretty sure he regrets it now, but that's no excuse.

It was a really dumb thing for him to have done, but I've also had times leaving games without saying gg and things like that. It's easy to get angry, you know?

Well, it's The Cavs and LeBron and after all the hype around them and LeBron himself it would of done worlds of good to show he can be a gracious winner as well as a gracious loser.

I heard the Cavs were actually pretty irked that he didn't do the media thing after the game, leaving his teammates to answer everything.

Who cares about LeBron and what he did or didn't do? Christ...

Here's a topic of more interest: Jameer Nelson possibly returning to play for the Orlando Magic in the finals.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2009/news/story?id=4224810

It's obviously not guaranteed. Both Nelson and Van Gundy remain "pessimistic" as the article states. But all the players say he looks great! Anyway, IF he were to rejoin the Orlando Magic for the finals, what would happen? Would he help the Magic or hinder their success and disrupt their current flow? Thoughts?

I don't think Dwight Howard should foul Gasol much. Gasol's main post move is a turnaround jumper, using his ridiculous length to shoot over the opponent. He won't be creating too much contact.

It's the guy who moves over to power forward who will create the problems.

If Nelson comes back it would obviously be a good thing... but if he rushes himself and he's not ready, he'll just get eaten alive. We'll see what happens!

i really doubt they will actually use nelson (at least not much) in the first few games. that's if he can actually come back and play

The likely hood of nelson coming back is slim to nill.

I imagine that the Lakers will be looking to get Howard into foul trouble via drives to the basket by the rest of the team and not through 1on1 offense from Gasol. The Lakers have quite a few players capable of getting into the lane who may end up drawing fouls on Dwight.
