LeBron James Rightfully Called Out for Another Typical King James Move

LeBron James is used to being a King of the Hill in his professional career, but he’s also been known for pulling stunts and overstepping his bounds. One example was back before last year’s NBA Finals when LeBron took it upon himself to call out Kevin Durant after KD called him “selfish” on Twitter. This time around however, LeBron seems more contrite as if he just did this recent move without thinking about how it would affect others.

LeBron James has been making a name for himself with his recent trade to the Lakers. However, he has also made some questionable moves in the past. For example, when he left Cleveland for Miami back in 2010.

LeBron James can’t seem to stop himself. He can’t take seeing his Los Angeles Lakers lose, and he continues to display horrible sportsmanship, particularly for someone who is supposed to be the NBA’s face. James was called out for it once again during (not after) his team’s 108-95 defeat to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday.

The Lakers and LeBron James are off to a shaky start.

With the acquisition of two former All-Stars in Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony, the Lakers wanted to make an impact this season. So far, things haven’t gone as planned.

According to TNT commentator Charles Barkley, the Lakers are a dismal 14-13 and don’t have much hope.

“The Lakers will be in the playoffs,” Barkley declared on the radio lately. “I’ll bet you everything that they won’t win six games in a row this year at any time.” Unless they go down to the old people’ home and play a bunch of elderly other men at some time.”

The Lakers haven’t been able to win more than two games in a row since October. They went on a three-game losing run in the middle of November, but they haven’t won three games in a row since late October.

For LeBron James, who was chastised for his customary King James maneuver, frustration has set in.

There is a ‘I’ in LeBron James, even if it isn’t visible on paper. As proven by his recruiting strategies in the past, he needs players around him to succeed. When all of those players get together, though, it’s all about him. It’s always been like way, beginning with his humiliating “choice” in 2010.

Anyone who calls himself “King James” has a large ego. Having an ego as an NBA player isn’t necessarily a negative thing. You act like you’re the greatest because you want to be the best.

It’s all about how you deal with your ego. James isn’t very good with it.

James is a bitter loser, to put it frankly. Nobody enjoys losing, but James behaves more like “Kid James” than “King James” when he does. When things don’t go as planned, he pouts and sometimes quits.

James took his customary early-to-the-locker-room stroll as the Grizzlies were dribbling out the time in their blowout victory against the Lakers. There was no standing about waiting for the last whistle, no handshakes, and no class.

The Grizzlies announcer called James out for his behaviors, which have become all too often.

“LeBron James isn’t going to be around for the end,” Grizzlies play-by-play announcer Pete Pranica stated. “He’s already on his way to the dressing room.”

James’ whining and lack of sportsmanship are all too common.

If James marched off the floor and into the locker room in a rage once, it would almost certainly be forgotten. This has become into a habit for the Lakers’ star, and it’s not good. He probably doesn’t give a damn whether he looks decent. He is superior to everyone else and is free to do anything he wants.

It’s not the first time he’s walked off the floor while the game was still going on, bailing on his team and failing to shake hands with opponents. He completed the task early this year. When his Lakers faced the Miami Heat in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, he did it.

Remember when he was beaten out for MVP by Giannis Antetokounmpo? James was a bitter loser back then, too. He was “irritated” that he didn’t win more votes and complained to the media about it, sounding like a kid who didn’t get his way.

“You irritated me. According to NBA.com, he remarked at the time, “That’s my genuine response.” “It irritated me since I received 16 first-place votes out of 101 total votes.” That was the thing that irritated me the most. That’s not to imply the winner wasn’t worthy of the award. But it irritated me. And I’ve finished second a lot in my career, whether it was for a title or four times as an MVP.”

He couldn’t even bring himself to name Antetokounmpo. He referred to him instead as “the victor.”

That’s how he is. He pouts when things go his way. It may not seem like much when a player leaves the court with a few seconds left, but James does it all the time. But, after all, he’s “King James,” so he’s free to do anything he wants, right?
