LeBron has taken a lot of heat for not shaking anyone's hand after the Cavs were eliminated by the Magic.
I agree that it didn't show great sportsmanship.
But this isn't junior high basketball. It's not required by the NBA to shake hands with an opponent. Not everyone on the Magic went over and embraced players from the Cavs.
Why are we making such a big deal out of this? No one cared that LeBron didn't shake hands after the first five games of the series. If Ben Wallace walks off the court without shaking hands, is it a conversation piece?
Of course not.
It's not like LeBron refused to shakes hands. He just walked off the court. Now wearing his Yankee hat in Cleveland is a different story.
