The absence of LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers game against Nuggets in Denver caused fans to be furious and relive an old debate.
Outside with an injury to groin, fans had accepted that James was not on the court for purple and gold. However, Diehards expected the four -time NBA champion at least to be on the sidelines supporting his team.
Before Friday's game, NBA informant Chris Haynes revealed that James chose to travel to Sacramento to see the championship game of his son Bryce while Sierra Canyon faced Lincoln Stockton.
The decision had fans who used their reasons to mention go of goat with Michael Jordan, claiming that the legend of the Chicago Bulls would never jump a game.
“MJ the goat for a damn reason,” a user wrote.
“MJ would never have asked to see his son work,” he joked with a photo by Marcus Jordan that seemed to put drugs in his nose.

“Mike N Kobe played and constantly injured during his careers,” a third intervened. “Discipline and being a team player is where James fails and it will never be the goat. Calling this guy is comic. To be the goat, it is not only on the court but also out of the court.
'Perfectly timed injury of “Groin”! Brother simply addicted to the ATP lights … Go home and it's with your family and then hahaha, “said a room. 'What else is there to achieve apart from the headlines?'
While many flew and tear James for omitting the Nuggets game, which Denver won 131-126, many others praised him for his upbringing.
It would be worthwhile since Bryce and the Trailblazers secured the state title of Division I of California with a 58-53 victory.
After ascending to the second seed at the West Conference, the Lakers have abandoned their last three games with James out of play for two of those losses. The reports suggest that King James could be out for several weeks.
James traveled with the Lakers to Brooklyn before losing to the Nets and returned to California when the team flew to Milwaukee in the next game. The NBA legend and analyst Charles Barkley said James already played his last game this season.

“LeBron is probably out for the rest of the season,” Barkley said in TNT. 'I don't see him return'.
'He stayed in New York because it's New York, and he didn't want to go to Milwaukee because it's Milwaukee. It has nothing to do with elevation or none of that.
The Lakers had great hopes of a deep playoff career after acquiring Luka Doncic de Dallas. However, optimism has dissolved since its stars have dealt with injuries with approximately one month in the regular season.
