LeBron does disappointing disappearing act

With no Kobe vs. LeBron in the NBA Finals, there was a collective sigh of dismay heard in the league offices on Saturday night.

There's no doubt that the most marketable Finals would have been the Lakers versus the Cavs. At least the Finals won't feature the Nuggets against the Magic, David Stern is thinking.

For King James, it as an interesting exit from not only the playoffs, but from the Orlando stadium Saturday night. No congratulatory handshakes with the Magic, no post-game interviews with the media.

No nothing from James.

LeBron James came into the NBA a few years ago as an 18-year old man-child. So what is he today? Man or child. He is arguably the league's best player and probably your only argument will come from die-hard Lakers fans.

On Saturday night, James was a child.

Yes, I know you are disappointed with the loss and the elimination. But LeBron, man up, shake some hands, congratulate the Magic for being the better team, which they are. Be mad at yourself, mad at your teammates, mad at the world. But be mad that later Saturday night and be mad all summer long if you want.

You're now the face of the NBA, so act like it.
