I like to think that I would stop for every fan and take a picture or whatever but at the same time, think how annoying it gets when your own kids or coworkers or students, constantly want your attention...and those are people you know and care about it (to some degree) and we will blow them off at times. So I get it, I don't love it or anything but I get it.

There’s no way you could stop for every fan at his level - but he could also not be a total d-bag to a kid. Perhaps an “excuse me”, “I’m sorry I can’t right now”.

I totally agree. Like I said, I don't love what he did but I get it. I would like to think I would be better at it but I have "snapped" at kids on my teams before. "Coach, coach, coach" and after awhile it is enough and I KNOW that I did not always handle it with "Sorry, player X, I will get to you in a moment"

I'm not a LeBron fan at all. But if that crossed the threshold of bad celebrity behavior, then the much-discussed wussification of 'Merica has certainly taken hold.

Wasn't the "kid" in that video in his 20s?

This thread is just an encapsulation of views of all the snowflakes on this board.

The kid is 11 or 12. Never meet your heroes. Especially when LeBron is that guy. A piece of **** who will never be Jordan.

Good to see LeBron is still a piece of ****..

In the words of Randy Orton.. F LeBron.

Also, Nedoroscik absolutely owning the pommel horse for Team USA is the highlight of this last games.

I think that might have been the most patriotic thing I have seen in a long time! What a feel good moment!

His absolute passion and the team's reaction was incredible.

Some say, as I listened to local radio, when was the last time America got behind something for country pride? I agree with him that not many watch the Olympics. Not many care.

I would wager that... THAT was worthy.
