LeBron Tanked Games? Did ******* LeBron cost me money? I risked a lot of money on Cavs to win on Game 6 of the playoffs against Boston this year. Hope the tanking stories are not true. Did anyone else also bet heavy on Cleveland to Win game 6?

he layed down in that series because if the Cavs do win and somehow beat the Lakers, it would have been awfully tough for him to leave Cleveland then. Now since they didn't win he has the excuse of, "well I gave 7 years of my career to that town and we couldn't get it done"Comment -
exactly. Good post 2dabankComment -
No wonder Donaghy got so many game correctComment -
I've always knew NBA was rigged but now Lebron's been called out it just add to the conspiracies.Comment -

If he was not injured during that series, then he laid down. No if ands or buts abt it. Anybody who watched him all year knows what happens when it gets to the last 4 minutes of a game. He drove hard to the hole and got fouled or he pulled up for a jumper. THAT NEVER HAPPENED in the critical stages of Boston series. He passed to teammates who acted totally surprised to be getting the ball.
If he was hurt, it should have been told after the series was over. He kept saying the arm injury was not affecting him, but I figured he was just trying to play thru it.Comment -

He just looked like he was going through the motions in some games
Maybe they just wore him down, defense was so tough on himComment -
yeah man lebron tanked games thats why everyone in cleveland is so upset he is not coming back. so which one is it do you want him back or did he tank games which means you want him out? what a joke of a place. cleveland needs to get their talking points in order. take some advice out of the republican playbook. they know how to all be on the same page to the point it becomes comical.Comment -
He sure did tank games. It was so obvious and helped me make a shit load of money in the playoffs! For that, I thank you LePrick!Originally posted by chipleader

He did what he was told to do, by the people who run the NBA,,,,Comment -
Guys,
Labron did not TANK games or THROW games or any of that.
He really did not quit either.And while we all have a right to question what we saw, it was rather obvious.
Lebron was DEFEATED!!!!
Physically with the Boston pressure but more Mentally and Emotionally by the same Boston constant that you saw throughout the Finals.
They damn near beat LA with all they're defensive weapons and shutting down one guy is a shock?
He as much as said it last night when he eluded to teams with 3 big names winning multiple titles within the leagues recent history ,and by doing so, that the result of the Boston series pushed him in the direction that he chose.
And while I will NEVER defend the dog and pony show I saw last night( old school would have never allowed it and my school is an old one),having experienced such a COMPLETE beat down for the first time in his life on the court,surely pushed him in this direction.
He handled this like an immature player. His "TEAM" of amateurs, whoever the hell they might be, that advised him to do what he did will ,in the future it seems, do everything possible to continue doing what they do best, which is to wrongly advise and continually compromise this guys career.
Win ,lose, or whatever,he has a long way to go and until he finds better people to advise him, he will lag behind wherever he should be, no matter what achievements he might become a part of.
The T.V. show was a disgrace and fortunately for him, the Cleveland owner had a melt down to help deflect and spread around the ignorance.
Pretty sure all sides lost last night including Jim Gray who if you were not sure before , you realize now is a complete phony and as large a suck up as their is in broadcasting.Comment -
I have it on good authority that he tanked that series. Several reasons why he did it. The first thing was that he got into it with Mike Brown. MB wanted to keep dumping the ball into the low post with Shaq and Lebron thought it was a bad move (I agree with him on this). Lebron told MB that if he did that he would sit back and watch it fail... which he did.Originally posted by BradydI am going to assume you just want to add fuel to the fire here. If so, that this is one of the funniest threads I seen today. If not, well I won't disrespect you are say that you actually believe this...
Then Dan Gilbert calls out the entire team and apologizes to the fans for getting blown out at home and Lebron got pissed that he would put everyone on blast.
Then the straw that broke the camel's back was Lebron bringing food to his mom in the hotel late at night prior to game 5 and Delonte West answers the door to the room. Lebron tried to attack Delonte several times the next couple of days and it was basically over then.
Game 6 - Mo Will knew that Lebron was tanking and on several occasions, Mo deferred giving him the ball because he knew he gave up. Look at the tape and you will see Mo even throwing bows at Lebron as he tried to get the ball out his hands. On a 3 on 1 fast break, instead of Mo passing the ball to Lebron for an easy alley oop, he kept the ball and turned it over.
Go back to the tape of game 5 and you will get your answer. Even if his elbow was broken that shouldn't affect his feet. He wouldn't chase down balls, didn't play defense, wouldn't shoot the ball, stood 35 feet away from the basket not even watching the play. He was even trying to disguise it.
Go back in this forum and you will see several people, including me, that said he was on the take. I've never seen that in pro sports. If I was Gilbert, I would take him to court and sue over non performance. The tape says it all.Comment -
Anyone who thinks Lebron didnt tank games in the Boston series should stop gambling and watching sports and should be court martialed and shot.Comment -

What was so crazy is that even when most people knew he tanked, folks still wanted him to stay.Originally posted by jsmithj88Comment -
Wow I never had heard that Delonte West was nailing Lebrons mom. I could see how that might piss a player off. Damn. Well now we know why he left cleveland.Comment -
no he left Cleveland because his supporting cast is dog shit thats fuking whyOriginally posted by brandon mComment -
Best record in the league 2 years in a row with Z, Jamison, Mo and Shaq all former All stars plus Anderson Verajao on the NBA all defensive team and they were dog shit...Originally posted by Intuitive_Edge
I guess you didn't see Lebron in the Boston series. He was dog shit. He wasn't even the best player on his team...Comment -
He became an emotional wreck because someone was banging his mom...Comment -
I believe in him.Comment -
you dam right he tanked and more than once. its all show bisOriginally posted by chipleaderComment -
Whats he gonna do when some cuban dude in Miami starts nailing his mom? Tank some more games?Originally posted by Mac4LyfeComment -
Winning games in the regular season means horseshit. Have you not learned anything from this ? That team shrunk and James averaged what Jamison and Williams averaged combined in the the playoffs. Yet he wasnt the best player ? You're right it was VarejaoOriginally posted by Mac4LyfeBest record in the league 2 years in a row with Z, Jamison, Mo and Shaq all former All stars plus Anderson Verajao on the NBA all defensive team and they were dog shit...
