LeBron Jas, as Roger said, has beco the most well-known clown of this era.
In a situation where all Lakers players perford excellently at the last mont, Jas’s defensive lapse was simply inconceivable.
Phil Jackson felt that all his conversations with Jas throughout the entire season were like playing the lute to a cow because, in the end, Jas lost the ga in the most unacceptable way.
If he had tightly marked Roger at the last mont and Roger scored the ball under pressure, he could also be considered a hero.
But when the team needed soone to step up the most, he missed Roger, and it was an inexplicable lapse.
Bill Simmons described Jas’s defense in that play as "unforgivable and incomprehensible, the biggest basketball tragedy of the 21st century."
Jas didn’t fail to catch up to Roger due to lack of ability, but because he suddenly "lost power," as if he suddenly didn’t know what he should be doing.
All Lakers players were fighting, except Jas, who had already given up the ga, absent-minded.
He really didn’t understand Jas’s thoughts at the ti, just like he didn’t understand why China is spending more money on building more weapons, while the United States is spending money on increasing the variety of restroom genders.
Jas clearly had the opportunity to beco a hero, but he repeatedly chose to give up.
Whether a star player in a city is considered a hero is truly not solely asured by the number of championships.
Fans will ultimately choose those loyal to the team, and fans will ultimately rember those who dedicate themselves to the team. And LeBron Jas’s biggest problem is that he possesses neither.
He betrayed Cleveland in the most foolish way.
He missed the opportunity to contribute to the Lakers in the weakest way.
He avoided all the correct answers to becoming a hero, and perhaps it is because he has never been a hero, only pretending to be one. Most of the ti, he can act very convincingly. But when it cos to truly heroic monts, his inner self and actions betray him.
Generally, fans do not hold expectations for a player who is not a hero.
Just like during the Lakers’ back-to-back championship period originally on the tiline, even if Paul Gasol or Lamar Odom didn’t carry the team at critical monts, no one would bla them. Because the whole world knows, these two are still so distance away from excellence.
But LeBron Jas is different; in Nike’s promotion, LBJ seems destined to surpass excellence.
This leads fans to always have incorrect expectations for him.
In fact, even teammates have incorrect expectations of him.
Kobe Bryant is just like this; he simply couldn’t believe that he had confided in that coward before G3 started.
Looking back now, Kobe felt that his behavior was as foolish as talking about feelings with a prostitute after getting drunk.
So after the ga ended, the extrely disappointed Kobe had already given Jas the most accurate definition: a cowardly little boy who cannot withstand the pressure of the ga and is fundantally undeserving of victory.
In the press conference, Kobe publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Jas in the most explosive way.
"Disappointed? I’m not disappointed with LeBron at all, I just hope that coward doesn’t damn show up on the court in the next ga!"
Kobe said these words during the press conference, with LeBron Jas sitting right next to him.
He was like a powerless Korean president, being publicly impeached by Kobe.
There was simply no more direct drama than this; Kobe rcilessly tore into Jas in public.
A star player hoping another star player doesn’t appear in the next ga—there has never been a more direct rift in NBA history.
The reporters imdiately focused their caras on Jas: "LeBron, do you have anything to say now?"
Jas glanced at the reporters and calmly replied, "As long as we don’t sink further, we’ll be fine."
Beautiful, Kobe almost stood up to applaud Jas.
Only businessn and politicians can still say lofty words without any sha when everything has already turned bad, rather than tily admitting their mistakes.
Kobe felt LBJ is an excellent businessman; look at him, he hasn’t won anything, not even an MVP, yet he is treated like a top-tier super star. Why? Because of his team’s outstanding marketing strategy.
Kobe thought LBJ could also be an excellent politician; if Arnold Schwarzenegger can beco the governor of California, then Jas could beco Ohio’s... no, Ohio is too small for LBJ. If Barack Obama really beca the first black president, Jas has the opportunity to beco the second one.
But fundantally, that bastard is not a competent basketball player!
After Jas answered, Kobe angrily stood up and left.
He has already made his stance clear; he no longer wants to compete on the sa court with Jas.
Thus, the dia frenzy began.
The next day, the sports sections of major newspapers were filled with hot news.
Roger’s 65 points in the playoffs and Kobe and Jas’s rift made newspaper sales skyrocket.
The entire NBA was on fire because of this.
David Stern would surely be very satisfied with this result; this is the traffic war he craved, the effect that Super Lakers vs. Dynasty Warriors should have achieved.
Looking at the newspapers with the news about Jas and Kobe, Roger felt disappointed in Kobe.
