LeBron James Acts Like Spoiled Child After Being Eliminated From NBA Playoffs: VIDEO

LeBron James was in prime form Monday night after the Lakers were bounced from the playoffs.

The Nuggets eliminated LeBron James and the Lakers in game five of the series on a Jamal Murray game-winner.

How did LeBron James respond? He left the court while pouting and refused to shake anyone's hand after being beaten by a better team, according to Yardbarker and multiple other reports.

You can watch his childish behavior unfold in the video below, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

LeBron James behaves like a spoiled kid after losing to the Nuggets.

It's unclear whether or not LeBron ever returned to speak with members of the Nuggets and congratulate them. There's nothing to suggest he did. We teach young kids to always shake hands, no matter the outcome. I guess King James missed that memo.

This is also prime LeBron James. This is who he is in his rawest form. He infamously didn't shake hands after getting beat by the Orlando Magic in the 2009 playoffs. This isn't new, and it's definitely not surprising.

Plus, people on social media had plenty to say.

I believe Herb Brooks said it best in "Miracle" when he said, "Win, lose, or tie, you're gonna play like champions!"

LeBron loves to talk a big game, and to some degree, he's certainly justified. He's one of the most talented athletes in human history, and has four NBA titles. Yet, he just can't help himself when things don't go his way.

Let's never forget this infamous quote after losing to the Mavericks in the NBA Finals several years ago:

"All the people that were rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day, they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that. They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal. But they have to get back to the real world at some point."

Classy. Very classy, LeBron. Do you think he should have shook hands after losing? Should he have been a better sport? Does it not matter? Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
