Sports Twitter slams LeBron for walking off court prematurely
Twitter aghast over media telling NBA players about Erin Popovich's death on air
On Wednesday night, news broke that Erin Popovich, the wife of San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, had died. As condolences and tributes began appearing, one group of people who hadn't heard right away were some NBA players themselves. Following the Cavaliers' 100-97 Game 2 win over the Pacers, LeBron James was told about Erin's passing on air by TNT reporter Allie LaForce. James was clearly shocked, as was Warriors star Kevin Durant, who found out from media during shootaround in San Antonio.Reactions to the immediate broadcasting of those raw responses were met by many on social media quite negatively.

In fact, King James was so frustrated by the butt-kicking he and his teammates received at the hands of Lance Stephenson (who was extra spicy in this one), Victor Oladipo and the Pacers that he walked off the court before time expired.
Not surprisingly, fans on social media were quick to pounce on James for his lack of sportsmanship.

So Tom Brady gets criticised after the super bowl for not "shaking hands" even tho he tried. But @KingJames just put a towel over his crying face and walked off the court before the buzzer even sounded! Can't wait to hear his excuses postgame! "They're a super team"

LeBron couldn't beat Indiana at home AND walked off the court early. Is HE the kind of guy you want playing for YOUR team? Phone lines are open for the first time today! (610)…
