Here to eat crow about Lebron. Props to him for taking a stand
The bubble is done for sure.

NBA players are rich as hell, this won't hurt them financially. They also have guaranteed contracts. The NFL is much different

Rest of the league supposedly voted to continue. If the LA teams continue to play after voting out wouldn't he then be a hypocrite?
We have to wait and see....

Originally posted by 4ML:Before a packed room of teams in a hotel ballroom at Disney, the discussion is centering on whether to continue with the playoffs -- or end the season, sources tell ESPN. So far, there seems to be momentum not to play the three playoff games on Thursday, but nothing's decided.

This seems to be the most logical point being made.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers have voted to boycott the rest of the playoffs and were the first two teams to exit the meeting, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Sources: Miami's Udonis Haslem spoke and essentially told everyone in room that -- without Lakers and Clippers, how will season continue?

LeBron James walked out. Rest of Lakers and Clippers exited behind him.

You got to shut it down now. NBA owners should also opt out of the CBA over this.

That's the kicker that will get them playing again. I get the outrage and wanting to make a stand. It's not logical. Not after the sacrifices they made to make the bubble happen. Lebron is rich AF and walking on this season and next season ain't s**t to him. 90% of the league needs to play.

This is insane.
I do think they finish the season eventually. But dang.

It may impact the league financially next year as well. Young guys that are looking forward to big money may get f**ked

Told ya dude, he sees the bigger picture in this. His legacy will be looked at in a more positive way by doing this then just shutting up and dribbling.
