After losing the last qualifying match, team 23 didn't need to say anything to their opponents. It got 25 moon rocks into the other teams trailers, something only rival team did.

How can you get away with that kind of attitude? I'm not saying he's an awful person and that he totally meant it, but that kind of rationale for it doesn't really work.

Re: king james needs some gp

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.

/Back on topic
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.
