Interesting article here today on espn.com as to whether LeBron abused David Blatt in the Cavaliers’ playoff run this year.

SU would have to agree with Marc Stein here. It’s one thing to firmly believe that you are right. It’s another to set a bad example for your teammates – especially your younger ones who are more impressionable. If you have an issue with the coach, deal with it off-line or behind-the-scenes. You don’t do it on full display. Think about how this would play out in the workplace. Showing up your boss is not tolerated in most organizations. I don’t care how good you are – you need to show respect.
As Mark Jackson would say, “Hey, you’re bigger than that!” Or perhaps LeBron will just be another coach killer (he has plenty of company in the NBA).
SU asks: “What do you think?”

It seems that LeBron thought and knew he had to carry the team. I felt that he was more demonstrative in general than usual (and I’m not talking about the whining on calls). This led to the infamous “best in the world” comment. I also think that many are going overboard on the “LeBron is a genius” line of thinking.
Given where he is right now – and we may either see a plateau over the next few years given he has hit 30 – is LeBron going to behave any differently to another coach? I don’t think so.
Sasha, good point. There seems to be a theory at the moment that he respects Tyronn Lue and that Lue is close to being a head coach somewhere in the near future. You wonder if LeBron now goes to the owner and demands that he be named the head coach for next year? David Blatt has said all the right things. The media are heavily in LeBron’s corner now and are tripping over each other with the genius tag. I don’t think he’s a genius. He’s a great, great player who has excellent instincts on the court. But let’s keep it real.
