00:00LeBron James did something last night I didn't see coming.

00:04So LeBron and the Lakers in a close game, tie game,

00:08you know, a clock ticking down, LeBron's got the rock,

00:11top of the key is where he gets it,

00:13and he's got a choice to make.

00:15Take the hero ball it, take the last shot, win the game,

00:19or miss the shot, go to overtime,

00:21or you'll pass the rock and hope that a teammate can knock down a game winner.

00:25But the situation was interesting because LeBron James,

00:28all that talk from a couple days ago,

00:30when he selfishly got his 10 points to keep that 1,200-plus game streak alive

00:34of consecutive games with 10 points or more,

00:37LeBron clearly heard the criticisms.

00:40There's no doubt in my mind.

00:41I know LeBron and his people monitor what I say on this show

00:44and what other people say negatively about him,

00:47and he took a little, you know, butthurt to the comments made

00:52about the fact that, you know, it was more important for him

00:55to score 10 points than for the other side.

00:57Butthurt? Where did that come from?

01:00Fair criticism.

01:00He doesn't like fair criticism.

01:02So all of a sudden, we found ourselves again last night in the same spot.

01:06Eight points, not 10.

01:08Ball in his hand.

01:10Chance to, worst-case scenario, go to overtime,

01:13make a bucket, get to 10, keep the streak alive,

01:15or take the shot, get to 10, and win the game.

01:18Or pass it up, and if Hoochie Mama doesn't make the shot,

01:23you can still get to 10.

01:25And LeBron James, sensitive to the criticism from just 48 hours earlier,

01:31did the right thing.

01:33And instead of taking the shot, which you know he's going to miss

01:36because he's the worst end-of-quarter, end-of-a-half,

01:39end-of-overtime shooter in the history of basketball,

01:41decides to pass it to Rui Hoochie Mama Mama,

01:45who makes the shot.

01:46And when he makes the shot at the buzzer,

01:49excuse me, Lakers win,

01:50and LeBron's streak, bang, comes to an end.

01:54And I just want to say, LeBron,

01:56I appreciate the fact that you listen to me.

01:59And I appreciate the fact that my words reach your soul.

02:03And I appreciate the fact that you are saying,

02:06without saying the words,

02:07you know what?

02:08Carton was right.

02:10After all this time, I've got to admit

02:12that Craigie Carton was right,

02:14and I've got to stop being a stat-padding,

02:17selfish basketball player.

02:19Sometimes it's not about me.

02:21Sometimes it's not about my personal records.

02:23Sometimes it's about doing the right thing.

02:26And for the first time,

02:28since he became a Laker, for sure,

02:30he did the right thing last night

02:31and said, okay,

02:33I'm willing to risk my dopey streak.

02:36That means nothing to anybody but him.

02:38You'll come to an end

02:39by making the right basketball play.

02:42And I'm glad I had an impact

02:44on how you play basketball, LeBron.

02:46I'm here for you every day.

02:48If you ever want any more advice or help,

02:49you just come calling.

02:51I'm here for you.

02:52And memo to one of my favorite actors

02:54and comedians of all time,

02:56Jamie Foxx.

02:57Yeah?

02:57How do you like me now, Jamie?

02:59Because now LeBron's doing

03:00what I tell him to do all.

03:01No, no, no.

03:02We're getting you checked after the show.

03:03What happened?

03:04This is the craziest rant

03:05in the history of crazy.

03:06Not a rant.

03:07You're talking about the player

03:08with the fourth most assist

03:09in the sports history.

03:10He's played more games than he was.

03:11No, no, no.

03:12The fourth most assist, okay, ever.

03:15Is that better?

03:16And you're acting like this is the first time

03:17he's made the right basketball play.

03:19It's rare.

03:19He's only made the right basketball play.

03:21He got ripped for making

03:22the right basketball play.

03:23Now you're ripping him

03:24for making the best to take credit.

03:26The hate that comes from you.

03:28It's not hate.

03:29No, it's hate.

03:29It's not hate.

03:29No, it's pure hate.

03:30He's a great basketball player.

03:31It goes beyond hate.

03:32You are.

03:33Hold on.

03:33Don't you think it's interesting

03:34that 48 hours after I attacked him

03:36for being selfish,

03:38he heard it and decided,

03:40you know what?

03:40You were wrong then too.

03:41Craig's right.

03:42I should probably not be selfish.

03:44No, no.

03:44Now listen.

03:45Criticism's fair.

03:46But you are a Jedi-level hater

03:48when it comes to LeBron.

03:49Jedi-level.

03:50There is no higher level, okay,

03:52of hate than Jedi-level, okay?

03:55I'll take it.

03:55Yeah, hate him.

03:56And he made the right basketball play.

03:58I get it.

03:58He deserves credit,

04:00not backhanded credit.

04:01Lakers get the win.

04:02LeBron made the right move.

04:04And I'm responsible for it.

04:05And I'm responsible for it.
