LeBron James Left Hanging By Multiple Teammates and His Coach
Tristan Thompson and J.R. Smith shared a celebration after a big bucket during the 4th quarter of the Cavs’ 118-88 rout of the Atlanta Hawks. LeBron James is usually the only person on his team to do anything celebration-worthy. So he must have felt some serious shock and confusion when Tristan and J.R. left him hanging. For an uncomfortably long time. As LeBron walked all the way back to the bench with his arm extended. Even Shawn Marion’s consolatory slap was little comfort. Poor guy.
Later, as the game was winding down, David Blatt also left King James hanging. Wouldn’t it be great if this was the NBA’s version of ignoring a rookie after his first home run?
