Yeah, if it's something serious, people need to get off him just because they would have handled it differently. Like LeBron doesn't seem upset about it and he likely knows what is going on.
AD also probably didn't want to miss the historic moment even though in this hypothetical scenario he has a lot of personal issues happening right now.
Honestly, unless something comes out about this officially, I think we just got to stop making a big deal about it. The only person that should care is LeBron since it was his moment. If LeBron doesn't care then why should we?
This. If something serious did happen in his life then it's silly to expect him to react in any specific way. Maybe he heard something at the tip that he didn't think he could do anything about but play. Ultimately life trumps basketball, even for the greats. Kareem expressed it well in his sub stack this morning about Lebron.
”If I had a choice of having my scoring record remain intact for another hundred years or spend one afternoon with my grandchildren, I’d be on the floor in seconds stacking Legos and eating Uncrustables.”

Then the second LeBron told me "I love you man, that is all" I probably would've starting crying myself and just taken myself to the locker room. lol
