Is LeBron James a sore loser?
Apparently, he left his team’s Game 6 loss in Orlando without saying a word to anyone. No congratulations. No comments to the press. He just put on his headphones and left the building.

James said he sent an e-mail to Howard following Saturday’s game.

“It’s hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them,” he said. “I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them. That doesn’t make sense to me. I’m a competitor. That’s what I do. It doesn’t make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand.”

Discuss.

I'm from Cleveland and I think he's a big fucking baby.

While I understand his frustration at the time, Instead of saying what he said, he should have apologized.

i don't think he nor his teammates should have to say anything to the media or congratulate anybody... it should be up to the play to do what they want.. if they want to talk to the media then fine if not then that is fine too.

I bet their contracts say different! I'm sure they have to grant press interviews depending on who the press is...
