Lebron's bad luck
The Black Sox Scandal
1919 World Series The Chicago White Sox faced the Cincinnati Reds in best-of-nine 1919 World Series games, and lost, 3-5. Eight players from the Chicago White Sox were banned from Major League Baseball after they were caught conspiring with gamblers to throw, or intentionally lose, the series. "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, pictured center in the bottom row, refused to participate but was banned for knowing of the fix and not reporting it.

NHL Lockout
2004-2005
When the NHL shut down for 310 days, starting Sept. 16, 2004, it was the first time that a major professional sports league in North America canceled a complete season due to a labor dipute. The NHL and the players were in dispute over a proposed salary cap. It was the second lockout in NHL history (the first in the 1994-1995 season), but much more consequential. It was also the first year a Stanley Cup was not awarded.
Major League Baseball players also striked against a proposed salary cap in 1994 and the World Series was cancelled for the first time since 1904.

Remember that season, buncha overpaid underworked baby goons. Brodeur and the rest of the Devils. All the rest of the jack-offs claiming they couldn't survive on their salaries.
Know who suffers the most in a work action like this? The kids. My nephew is a big Devils fan, he was 9 yrs old back then, really looked up to those guys.
Greedy poseurs wif no teef :D
On and on about how they need more money to survive.:waaah:
Brodeur was pulling down $12mm/yr back then, every year he got a new dealer donated SUV.
Yep, I feel real sorry for those guys, the hardships they went through. One of the worst black marks on hockey history.
The only ones who went through the hardships were the fans, and the businesses who had to struggle to make up the revenue.http://stripersandanglers.com/Forum/...ons/icon13.gif
Bertuzzi's Assault on Moore
March 8, 2003
Vancouver Canucks' Todd Bertuzzi took hockey's on-ice fights to a near-fatal level when he assaulted Colorado Avalanche's Steve Moore. Moore had taken out the Canucks' team captain, and the league's leading scorer, Markus Näslund, in a move the Canucks' general manager called a "headhunting hit." When the two teams faced off the next month, Bertuzzi tried to start a fight, but was rebuffed. He grabbed Moore by his shirt, punched him and threw him headfirst into the ice. Moore, left, suffered three fractured neck verterbrae, facial cuts and a concussion. Bertuzzi was suspended from the NHL indefinitely, but was allowed to return in 2005. There is currently a civil suit, filed by Moore, pending against Bertuzzi and the Cancucks.
Pacers v. Pistons Brawl
When the Detroit Pistons beat the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers and their fans had to wait through the off-season for the rematch. The Pacers were on their way to a win in the Nov. 19 game, leading 97-82 with less than a minute remaining, when Pacers' Ron Artest fouled Pistons' Ben Wallace. Wallace retaliated with a shove, which soon turned into a multiplayer fray. Artest, left, charged the stands after a fan threw a cup at him. Artest was suspended for the remainder of this season, while eight other members of the Pacers and Pistons were disciplined after the unprecedented display of violence.

Dale Earnhardt's Fatal Crash
Feb. 18, 2001 Dale Earnhardt was named NASCAR's No.2 racer in 1998, the year he won the Daytona 500. However, Earnhardt, also known as "the Intimidator," met a tragic fate on the race course three years later. In the last lap of the Daytona 500, Earnhardt was neck-in-neck with Sterling Marlin when the cars bumped. Earnhardt's car slid toward the outside wall, and Ken Schrader (36) slammed into Earnhardt (3). Earnhardt's death was the fourth NASCAR driver's death in the nine months leading up to the crash, prompting NASCAR to start requiring head and neck restraints.
