Cleveland.com asked readers whether they approved or disapproved of LeBron James’ unsportsmanlike conduct Saturday, when he left the court in Orlando without congratulating the Magic on its Eastern Conference championship.

Of those who responded, 51% said James should have handled the situation better; 31% said they understood his frustration; 17% said they didn’t care.

If NBA Commissioner David Stern responded, he no doubt would have been among those who said James should have congratulated the Magic.

‘I’m in the process of making a phone call or two to LeBron,’’ Stern told ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd this morning. Stern said he also wasn’t happy that James declined to address the media after the game.
