Re: Where is the line between having fun and disrespect

...and why start dancing when you're up 20 pts. Come out dancing. It was 46-47 CLE at the half. Why wasn't Lebron dancing during the first half? It's just dumb. Why even dance at all? Bunch of boys man...

Well why wouldn't Kobe do the under bite face thing at the beginning of a game?

Notice how not everyone in the crowd is amused.

LOL that gif should be used next time a hot chick is posted.

Re: Where is the line between having fun and disrespect

I love trash talking, but we all know that there is an unspoken limit beyond which people know it's being taken to the next level. Whether or not Lebron passed that limit in this situation is up to the individual observer. I didn't have a problem with the first dance.

Even with the limit, if people can dish it as well as they can take it, it's all good in my book. When you dance around when you win and pout when you lose, that doesn't sit well with me. Not just when watching sports, but when playing them(or in any other competition). Growing up in NYC, I've seen a pretty decent amount of trash talking and gloating, but the best guys could always dish it as well as they could take it.

Yeah because he's going to dance off the court after being eliminated from the Playoffs...

I thought this was about showing people up...

I said that because you asked why he wasn't dancing after getting eliminated by Orlando. Obviously he isn't going to be dancing when his team is eliminated from the playoffs.

Re: Where is the line between having fun and disrespect

I didn't watch the game...but when this clip ^^ immediately starts and he's dancing...guys (Moon and Varejo) are on the court in mid-action??????????????

He was doing that stuff on the sidelines during game action???

GTFOH!

That was my whole point of the thread.

Dude took it to another level

And Noah dancing was actually after they WON the CHAMPIONSHIP. So that's not disrespectful in my book.

Re: Where is the line between having fun and disrespect

Folks are getting on LeBron, but what does this say about Mike Brown? Larry Brown, Jerry Sloan and so on wouldn't let this happen during a game.

****, I can't stop watching that gif! It's funny as hell!

Interesting point. I would like to hear what the LBJ detractors response to that.

Obviously we all know about puppet coach Mike Brown, but it would be interesting to see if Sloan or Pops would allow that.

Yeah, I'd love to see this thread if it was Nate Robinson doing that.

You wouldn't have one person co-signing it.

Re: Where is the line between having fun and disrespect

I know Noah's dancing was after a win, but it was funny to look at....lol


I guess this kind is only acceptable when its Ronny Turiaf

Re: Where is the line between having fun and disrespect

you must have never been good at sports...

Maybe its a enviormental thing.

Not trying to get personal i just dont see the issue...basically anyone who already dislikes LeBron for whatever reason is mad.

If any of us were truly good at sports would we be here on OS all the time? I had my heyday from little leagues on up to intramural leagues in the Marine Corps, and along the way met many MANY punks on the court who would talk talk and TALK. That's fine...but when you catch an elbow either keep on talkin and keep on catchin them bows or do something about it.

oh how I would love to board and swing them elbows...

I was never a talker. Never wanted nor felt the need to do it. I would just let my play back me up.

why would anyone dance at halftime in a close game or if youre not playing well?...thats a really ridiculous retort at why the dancing was taking place...

Again, Dont get beat by 20 on national TV and most likely there will be no dancing taking place whatsoever.

Why dance? It's the NBA not the blacktop. I always had a problem with those who would only start talking smack once they're up. Talk from the beginning or don't talk at all. It's pretty pointless and stupid to start talking ish once the game is in hand.

Lebron can't shake a hand, can't face Dwight like a man and instead emails him a congrats, and now he's dancing on the court? So when he gets booted from the ECF, if their so lucky to make it there again, and D12 and Co. start dancing him off the court...don't cry or complain and make sure to shake their hands.

Even with the limit, if people can dish it as well as they can take it, it's all good in my book. When you dance around when you win and pout when you lose, that doesn't sit well with me. Not just when watching sports, but when playing them(or in any other competition). Growing up in NYC, I've seen a pretty decent amount of trash talking and gloating, but the best guys could always dish it as well as they could take it.

...and Lebron can ONLY dish it. Much like any other type of person who chooses to smack talk under the ruse of 'competition' or psychological warfare lol.

You're right. It just confirms Mike Brown's chump-hood.

Yeah that's ridiculous. Sit the hell down. And I'm not saying that because it is LBJ. If it was Rose, Noah, whoever, sit the hell down during the game. This ain't the club.

Re: Where is the line between having fun and disrespect

Not a expert lip reader but i think lebron was asking what noah was talking about...

prolly shouldnt have walked over...but noah prolly should have just sat down and asked himself how to string two succseful post moves together instead of opening his mouth.

Noah is a emotional guy. Take the fact that the coach is not getting anything done and half the team is quitting, that must have got him.

As far as post moves, what does that have to do with anything? The guy is still a top center in the East. He does what he does best. Garbage buckets, rebounds, hustle, and defense.
