LeBron James may be the greatest NBA player of all time, but he still craves attention like an unwanted stepchild. Everything he does is to feed his need for power and control. This isn’t a huge deal in itself,

While LeBron left before the midway point of the third quarter and did not return, that likely had as much to do with the Lakers being up 20 points throughout the near remainder of the game en route to a win as anything else.
