LeBron Deliberately Playing No Defense Against Memphis

You don't have to be a ball fiend to see that #23 in purple has no intention to play defense there, nor is it a passable plausible deniable effort, it's just no effort. He sabotaged a play. Magic sees it, Luke Walton sees it. I don't understand, Magic: You played at the highest level with the highest effort. You were given the keys to this franchise tasked with turning them into the Showtime that you created. You see that and sit on your ass and do nothing? The keys were turned over to you. Did you do one of your patented no-look passes to LBJ? Because you have no balls, Magic? You just sit there. Are you going to let LBJ get Luke Walton fired? Luke, you're new, newish. You see. You saw LeBron turn his back on your huddle. To show that he had no interest in you or what you had to say. You are beneath him, he runs the show. Of course you didn't like it Luke but what did you do about it. You saw him also walk out on your team, just walk off the floor with the game in progress. Quit on the team near the very end of a game.

Do either of you, Magic or Luke, believe that sometimes physical violence has a place as corrective measure to sabotage. Like Billy Martin went after Reggie Jackson in the dugout with the Yankees. Like Jim Leyland went after Barry Bonds. You're gone Luke, maybe you too Magic. Are you going to march to your executioner quietly and with dignity and bend over and let him saw off your head? I can tell you without ever being in any situation within light years of where you are that I would not. I would have gone after LeBron James physically in that time out. I would have grabbed him by the shirt and screamed in his face that he is a pathetic mother-fucker and then I would have had security escort him out of the arena, not to the locker room, no, no, out of the building, to return when I decide he returns. Magic would have fired you Luke right then and there if you had done that. And then Magic would be the limp dicked pussy but I swear on my children's heads I would never be done like that. You, Magic, broke it, and like the Pottery Barn rule, you now own it. You want to own this corruption? That is what it is Magic, LeBron James is corrupting the soul of competitive team sports. Do nothing, Magic, and you own a lot more than a broken franchise. You become the corrupter's enabler. How can you live with yourself?
