Call me cynical, but I think he went over the top on purpose. Somehow the spotlight always has to be on him. So the guy hits a halfcourt shot, wins money, and everyone still talks about LeBron? Mission accomplished for James.
I agree with you, but to play devil's advocate, this is really rare. These people almost never hit that shot.
I watched a replay where the Pistons players went nuts after he hit it. I'm sure there are lots of players that have never seen that happen, despite playing hundreds of thousands of NBA games.
Yes, it
is rare, which actually made it even
more reprehensible, IMO ... I mean, this guy has one of the biggest moments of his life, and LBJ steals the spotlight.
When the guy said "I'll never wash this shirt, cuz it has LeBron sweat on it", I kinda threw up in my mouth a bit.
It's great that he was a LeBron fan and got a thrill out of it, but it was still clear to me that LBJ was being LBJ, and getting the most attention out of every opportunity.
Guess I just see it differently, but it makes me feel no less animosity for him than before ... it's just plain typical LeBaby stuff ...
again.
