Worst game of LeBron's career?

[Prometheus]

After watching tonight's Heat/Jazz game, I'm compelled to say that this was the single most pathetic regular season performance of LeBron James's career. He made no attempt to get to the basket, played lazy defense even by this year's standards, and just appeared to not give a shit. It's like his soul was possessed by Andrew Bynum for the night. His final numbers for the game:

13 points on 4-13 FG, 1-6 3FG, 4-6 FT
5 assists
7 rebounds
5 turnovers

These are terrible numbers for a player of his stature, and having watched the game I can say that he was even worse than the numbers indicate. Normally I shrug off a bad regular season game by a great player, but this was bad enough that I honestly like LeBron less because of it. Allen Iverson was a low-IQ chucker, but he poured his heart and soul into every game and Sixers fans knew they would get their money's worth. Watching tonight's game, I couldn't shake the impression that LeBron just doesn't give a shit about his fans. If you appreciate how blessed you are to live such a rich and luxurious life just for playing a game, how blessed you are to be a famous icon of sports, you need to put your heart into every game. Is there any more room on the Durant bandwagon?

[COLOR=Teal]Not counting his rookie season and some playoff performances, I'd say this one is right up there.

Certainly ranks up there, its not just the shooting being off, but the rest of his game, even the passing.

Yeah, normally that's what I'd say, but I'm thinking of all the fans who spend a ton of money to see these athletes play live, and how those athletes owe it to those fans to play like they give a shit. That's why I brought up Iverson. It's just the regular season, but it's still basketball, and if basketball made you a millionaire you need to show some god damn passion. Tonight was a special kind of pathetic.
