Silas said he treated all his players the same. He benched Snow for an entire half just for cursing at him. But LeBron he lets him get away with
Yeah, what do you guys think? I came to this board curious about how the Cleveland fans were feelings about this issue. Where are all your responses? The wonder boy that you have all grown to idolize may turn out to be a bad egg. In my opinion, that alone could prevent him from ever touching the same level as Jordan.

Not saying that he will even reach that level, but even Jordan blew up and says things he shouldn't, but he had a knack for keeping most of it out of the media. LBJ was wrong, but it was a lot of pent up frustration. I remember when Shaq cussed out loud about refs on national TV, but it didn't hurt his popularity much. Once incident that may be blown out of proportion shouldn't blemish everything he's done since he was in high school. He has shown exceptional poise and it is something we expect out of him, yet he is still a young kid who is used to winning and things are just taking a bad turn, and it is finally getting to him.

Even Jordan cursed at his coach for taking him out of games. Does that make Jordan worse? I'm not comparing him to Jordan but since you brought him up I would just like to impart that little piece of information.
I don't care who you are, you can't keep calm for your whole career. You will have the ups and downs, but what you a player makes of it is what counts. Just because Jame's temper came out, doesn't mean it isn't going to keep him from becoming a better player, that's just ridicolous. Anyways, what the heck does Jordan have to do with this? If anyones on his bandwagon, it sure as heck sounds like you. Let the kid do his thang.
I wouldn't be surprised that Bron finally lost respect to Silas... he's been praising him as a player and a person on and off the court, how he "can't ask for anything more from him" how "Bron handles himself really well" yes those things are true but as a coach you mustn't be all over your player's balls like that. Even if he's making you look good.

Second when jordan did it, it was written off as competitiveness instead of bad personality so it was said that he was a great competitor. If people are looking for LBJ to fail they wont look at the story that way. People wanted to believe that jordan was a great guy so they decide it was his passion for the game and his competetiveness.
lebron swore at silas when they were losing (i think they were on a losing skid and were losing the game they were currently playing)
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Flava23:</div><div class="quote_post">lebron swore at silas when they were losing (i think they were on a losing skid and were losing the game they were currently playing)</div> I know that. But did he actually curse him out ("**** you") or was he cursing the game situation ("**** this")? There's a difference.

The guy that punched Steve Kerr, right?
