“Absolutely embarrassing that this is the face of the sport,” said one detractor, before calling the NBA a “clown league”.
“LeQuit at it again” remarked another.
“Maybe just retire from the game. The act is so overcooked,” it was also suggested.
“It’s disappointing that he’s walking out on his team. How do you inspire them when you only with them when they winning?” a separate party asked.
LeBron offered no excuses after the game.
“We got our a** kicked. It’s just that simple,” he said post-match.
“They pretty much just kicked our a**. That’s all there is to say.”
