Where is the line between having fun and disrespect

[GSW]

Re: Where is the line between having fun and disrespect

LeBron just feels like he is so special that he should do things that nobody else does, i.e. dance on the baseline during game action

he's been told his whole life that he's special, so much so that he nicknamed himself "King"

Now he would kill to be the center of attention and thinks the rules don't apply to him. I really don't think this an issue of disrespect. It's an issue of him acting like a straight up fool and thinking he's allowed to do whatever he wants to be the center of attention. Disrespectful or not, you don't see Kobe Bryant dancing on the damn floor during the game. Bad, stupid, pathetic, not funny dancing at that.

you're defintely mad arent you

Re: Where is the line between having fun and disrespect

Yeah man its like...


fans: ah nah man the refs didnt call the freaking foul that was a foul look at it!

or

That wasnt a foul, they cheated for DWhistle!

Donaghy: We intentionally made bets not to call the first foul/ Star players in big markets got calls if they were breathed on



fans: What a lying scumbag


but


Lebron groves in a win something we've seen Ronny Turiaf do countless times and it was okay, but since its the cool thing to do to hate on Lebron now, its one of the worst things anyone could do.

I dont know whats come of things nowadays

It seems to me like LeBron has suddenly become Kobe pre-4th title where, like you said, it's the cool thing to hate on him now.

Somewhat.

This topic has nothing to do with the refs.

The thing I don't understand is that we have an NBA superstar acting a damn fool, completely unprofessional, and no one seems to give a ****. People like it. Another reason why the NBA is a joke. I guess we should blame the head coach, but Lebron IS the head coach...

You don't know Lebron. I am reading the rise of a star Lebron James for a school project and Lebron has gone through a lot. He isn't and never has been special. He hasn't gotten the special treatment all his life like you think he has. As I said he had tough times as a kid. He grew up in a rough neighborhood and has bounced around when he was a kid. He could have gotten into negative activities, but he was determined to stay out of trouble and has grown to be one of the best players in the NBA. Regarding to this I think that he was just having fun. The NFL has ruled out a lot of stuff like this and if he did this in the NFL it would probably result in a penalty.

You act like LeBron pulled an Artest and went into the crowd to punch a fan. Calm down, man. He was dancing.

Exactly!! All he was doing was dancing on the sideline, not the court. I like how Lebron has fun when he's playing basketball which is a game.

Says who? Donaghy's been discussed ad nauseam. Your point?

Lebron groves in a win something we've seen Ronny Turiaf do countless times and it was okay, but since its the cool thing to do to hate on Lebron now, its one of the worst things anyone could do.

So it's ok for a cop to dance over someone he/she apprehends? Maybe Obama should've danced once he won the Presidential election? Maybe the next time a team wins they should just do the D-Generation X gesture to the entire team.

The point is you've defeated your opponent by 20 pts. Now you want to rub it in with some foolish dancing? You've already won.

The problem is that Lebron has shown to be someone who doesn't take losing very well. Why? Because he's "a winner".

BS...you're a whiny baby Lebron. You can't even congratulate your opponent, but you can dance and show them up...but walk off the court like a chump and send a chump email too. Him anyone who conducts themselves this way are ___________ .

You act like LeBron pulled an Artest and went into the crowd to punch a fan. Calm down, man. He was dancing.

That's right...at least no one was harmed smh.

Re: Where is the line between having fun and disrespect

There's no doubt that there is a level of douchebagness to LeBron's antics but I'm not gonna get pissy about it.

I've been saying it since all the LeBron hate started over the last year-plus but we'll know its really bothering opposing players when he gets dropped to the floor with a couple dirty fouls after teams are fed up. Until then, LBJ's frolicking will continue and I can't be mad.

Well, technically he was dancing on the court after he got fouled. I got no problem with it, just sayin.
