Last week LeBron James proclaimed that his “playoff mode was activated” a little bit early this season considering that the Lakers are in serious danger of missing out on the postseason.
“It’s been activated,” the Lakers star said after Wednesday’s practice, talking about playoff intensity as the team got set to host the Houston Rockets on Thursday.
“Obviously, we would have loved to have success when I was out, but we didn’t, so this is where we [are] right now,” said James, who missed 18 games after suffering a groin injury on Dec. 25. “I’m going to be a little bit different a little bit earlier than I would like to be in previous years.”
Last night as the Lakers were losing to the Bucks LeBron decided to angrily walk off the court with about 10 seconds left in the game.

Twitter was not happy about LeBron bouncing early.
Hey @KingJames good job being a man shaking @Giannis_An34 hand after he beat your ass in your own gym! Oh wait… you walked off like a pussy and couldn’t give the future MVP respect what’s your take on this @stephenasmith ?? Nvm you won’t respond to this tweet…

Lebron is a shitty ass leader man. Walking off the court without the rest of his team in a close loss before the clock expires. Terrible

LeBron walked off the court & went down the tunnel with 12 seconds left lmao. He’s fed up. I’ve never seen him look that demoralized. I guess that’s what happens when you play with a bunch of scrubs.

Just saw what LeBron did last night, walking off the court with 15 seconds left. If Carmelo Anthony did that….. it would be game over for him!

I never want to hear anyone ever call LeBron James a good leader, ever again. https://t.co/0WLoKmUEIi

Not a classy move by LeBron walking off the court with 10 seconds left and heading straight to the locker room.
