Video: J-Rich Thought 360; LeBron Had Other Ideas

by Marcel Mutoni

Those ideas included a massive, game-changing block. Or a foul (that obviously wasn’t called). It’s a matter of opinion, I suppose:

Speaking of opinions, here are Richardson’s thoughts on the play:

(On LeBron James blocking him) “Clearly a foul. I don’t care how you look at it – clearly a foul – and that’s bad. A guy is going up like that, especially to do something to get the fans going, and to get fouled and get hammered like that and with no call at all – that’s terrible.”

(On whether he thought he had enough clearance on the breakaway) “I definitely did. I didn’t know anybody was coming – if you know someone is coming like that, you’re not going to pull something off like that. It was just a bad call. I don’t care how you look at it, it was just a bad call.”

Video replays seem to support J-Rich’s claims. Nice job as always, refs.

    okay it was a foul, but it’s one i almost agree with not calling. jrich did something straight idiotic.

    some of you counter that lebron would’ve gotten the call if he was dunking it? yeah your right, but you know what?

    lebron doesn’t do stupid crap like a 360 on a breakaway with a fast shotblocker on the floor! ever! he does great dunks but they are with in the contexts of the games! if jrich went up for a normal dunk (which lebron wouldn’t have caught him in time anyway) and lebron hacked his wrist, i’d totally expect a foul. but you know, people doing stupid crap like that… jrich deserved to be made to look like an idiot. why? because he was an idiot.

    All you playa haters… what’s up??? Give Lebron his props… he dominates… period. He does what is necessary to win and gets everyone else involved. He has lived up to and exceeded the hype from day one. JRich was pretty selfish to try to showboat in a situation like that. I guess he did not have a rear view mirror before he tried that junk (objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear). He will just hustle and lay the ball in next time…
