So Much For Good Sports

“It’s hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them,” he said. “I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them. That doesn’t make sense to me. I’m a competitor. That’s what I do. It doesn’t make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand.”


LeBron James apparently doesn't even know the meaning of the phrase "poor sport."

Someone beats you - of course you go over and shake their hand! That's what being a good sport is all about. To do anything less - which is apparently what quite a few athletes feel - is just disgusting.
