Lebron James is an amazing player. I don't like your comparison to the robotics team Chris, I think its a completely different circumstance. The Cavaliers were favored heavily to win, probably sweep the series. James put up the fifth highest amount of points ever by a player in a 6 game playoff series. He covered Orlando's best player not named Howard. His team didn't have to do much to win and they still loss.
So I think :
- Scoring halfish your teams points
- Being heavy favorites
- Only winning two games
are some reasons why I would not be to happy if I were LeBron.
I think I can grant LeBron a pass for this. Besides never do we hear of LeBron gettin technicals for arguing calls. Hes a great person, a great role model for kids.

I think it would be cool to see James at a FIRST competition but I really don't think hes the type of support we want right now.
