Doc
Rivers, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen all came together with the Miami
Heat basketball team after a hard fought Game 7 playoff victory over the
Boston Celtics. With time left on the clock, Doc Rivers said "enough
is enough" as there was no chance for his team to win anymore, so he
pulled out his top players, Rondo, Garnett, Pierce, and Allen to sit and
rest for the final moments of the game. Everyone on the Celtics bench
embraced them with open arms because everyone knows that, that might
have been the last time these hall-of-fame athletes get the chance to
run the court together in the same uniform.
However after hugging it out with their team, Rondo and Garnett kept
it moving straight to the Boston Celtic's locker room with camera crews
trailing behind them. They never reemerged to shake hands with any of
the Miami Heat players, as a traditional sign of respect and good
sportsmanship. Some basketball enthusiasts have been upset by their
disregard to acknowledge the Miami Heat's hard work to earn that win.
Others seem to be unbothered by it, given that they understand Rondo
and Garnett were obviously upset about losing.
This has brought up the question: if Lebron had walked off the court
without shaking the hands of the opposing team's players, how much heat
would he have gotten from the fans around the world?
Do you think Rondo and KG walking off the court is that serious?
