He's joking, but we wouldn't blame him if he wasn't.

Not Available Lead

This morning LeBron James said he'd "quit basketball" if he were on the floor as Northern Iowa blew that 12-point, 35-second lead against Texas A&M Sunday night. He's joking, but this has got to be one of those half-serious jokes, because that was one of the most god awful choke jobs in the history of sport

In case you're in a place where it'd be rude as hell to play audio, here's the quote:

LeBron on the A&M comeback over UNI: "I would quit basketball. If I was on Northern Iowa, I would quit."

For what it's worth (nothing) I think I'm with him here. Hopefully he doesn't get killed for this comment, at least not when there are far more important issues involving him.
