However, the fans did not buy that at all. What LeBron did does not sit right for the team’s morale. Even though your team is losing, it isn’t sportsman-like to leave the game midway. One has to either play or sit through the whole game. People even made comparisons to the late Kobe Bryant.
So this leader Lebron just left his team with 6 minutes left. Kobe would have never done such a thing. pic.twitter.com/0AQu6b2Rcm

The Lakers would have one last chance to set things right, as the Suns make their way to Staples Center for Game 6 on Thursday.
