LeBron James delayed by garage rules


CLEVELAND -- There was a time when LeBron James' friends and associates were welcomed throughout Quicken Loans Arena. That apparently is no longer the case.

James was delayed in getting into the arena for the Miami Heat's shootaround Tuesday morning when he arrived with a driver and a second car at the entrance of the Cleveland Cavaliers' underground parking garage.

LeChicken.

James dodged the first barrage of boos by staying in the locker room during player introductions. He entered the arena under the cover of darkness while the Cavs were being introduced.

"Not in our garage"

Awesome....especially if you've heard about the Cavs blocking LeBron from bringing his drivers car and an entourage of cars into the Quicken Loans player parking section.

I love Gilbert.

I'm sure Lebron will blame his shoot around situation on not being able to make a shot when it mattered at the end.

Not showing up for the player introduction was a straight-up retaliation for The Q not bowing to his wants and needs pre-game.

This dude is so self-entitled its sick.

Sorry LeBron, some people value their jobs more than sniffing your jock. I can't imagine Gilbert's reaction if he found out a Q employee bent rules for Bron Bron....

nice show of respect from Bron after the L shaking hands with the Cavs players.

Did you also think it was a nice show of respect when LBJ didn't show up for pre-game introductions, and then claimed it was because he was in the bathroom?

 

[WolverineMike]

if it pissed you off, then I thought it was awesome

 

[buckeyesin07]

if it [censored]ed you off, then I thought it was awesome

Didn't really tick me off so much as I thought it was yet another example of LBJ not acting like a professional...which means you probably thought it was great.

these guys are all millionaire cry babies in one form or another. professionalism has been lost on most a long time ago.

Eh, I don't know--Legler said today that he's never seen that happen. Coming from a 12-year NBA veteran, that puts LBJ into some pretty rarified air when it comes to being unprofessional, wouldn't you say?

 

[WolverineMike]

was it two years ago that Bron left the court after getting bounced from the playoffs without shaking anybodies hands? I'd love to see some old posts when that happened around here to see what everyone's take was on that lack of professionalism. My guess is it was glossed over as not a big deal. Now that he's not a Cav anymore, it's obvious that every move he makes is going to be criticized by someone.
