Go to Post I am always torn between running a family and running a team... I guess the difficulty is in supporting the team as a whole before the individual...or alongside the individual. - MysterE [more]

Look at it this way: 90% of the time people who criticize the decisions/actions of others would have done no better (if not worse) in the same position (those who would have done better typically aren't the sort to rub a mistake in your face). Not to mention that for one team to describe another as not graciously professional is kind of hypocritical.

[Mini-rant]You're also not alone. It's bothered me for a long time how people are so quick to jump on the mistakes of others, especially famous people. People construct these sky high expectations of celebrities, politicians, and sports stars and then act all shocked when they don't meet them. Does it strike anyone else as mildly messed up that after what sounded like a very impressive performance (sorry I don't watch sports that often) the thing people remember is him walking away angry? He might have made a mistake, but all of this hype is unnecessary.[end of mini-rant]

Sorry about the rant.
In a nutshell, I think that whether or not Lebron James made a mistake isn't the real question. The question is why is there such a massive hullabaloo about it. Sports stars are mortal, they make mistakes just like the rest of us. I do like the idea of inviting him to a FIRST event though, sounds like it would be fun.
