LeBron James, and the dunk that will never be seen

#1

Post by Habib »

Hey y'all.

Have you read this shit recently about LBJ getting posterized by some college kid, and that he demanded that the video of the dunk be confiscated?

Hmm, what are your opinions?

Personally, I think that LBJ has just turned a mountain out of a molehill. I mean, so what if he got dunked on? So fucking what? He just increased the media hype and controversy by demanding that they should destroy the footage. I mean, if it got to the internet, worst case is that it will get 2 million views on YouTube, and people would talk about it for 2 months, and then it's over!
Gosh, LBJ has done some immature stuff lately -- first his unsportsmanlike attitude after the Cavaliers lost to the Orlando Magic in the ECF, now this...

This is one reason I hate Lebron. He clams to have respect for the game and all, but when he loses a game or someone dunks on him he acts like a little crybaby. He needs to get over himself, recognize that other people have talent and that he doesn't own the game. I hate Lebron
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

LeBron Jame is a good basketball player, but he has been a kid as of recently.

The fact that he left the Arena after losing to Orlando was annoying enough, but what was more annoying was the reason he gave for doing that. He told reporters that "I am a competitor guys, I'm a winner. I don't go and shake somebody's hand when you just lose to them. Somebody just beat you up, you don't go over and shake hands with them. It don't make sense to me." That is exactly what he said. How gay.

But, he waited there for his hands to be shaked and be congratulated when they swept the Pistons and the Hawks.

Actually, when boxers fight, they do just that, shake hands...Hmm...LeBron blows, and I am on record saying as much before he set foot in the NBA...

Actually Habib, that's not a metaphor, lol...

Watch any boxing match...When a guy gets his ass kicked, he always congratulates the other fighter...They shake hands, hug and everything...The corners shake hands and go on about their lives...Very, very rarely do fighters leave the ring after a loss without doing that...In fact, any martial art exhibition, the fighters show respect before and after a match...UFC, MMA, you name it...

I was using that example to when LeBron said, "Somebody just beat you up, you don't go over and shake hands with them." In a street fight maybe, but any professional event is void of that kind of behavior...You knock a guy the fuck out, you celebrate, and then you go over to make sure he's OK and show your respect...

LeBron is a crybaby. He always has been. But it's hard to completely blame him since people have been blowing smoke up his @$$ about how "good" he is, or how he's then next "great" baller, since he was what, 12 yrs old?

Either way, he was stupid, and deserves what ever clowning he gets.

It's been removed now, but I saw it...I wasn't that impressed..!

Now they've been showing a top 10 of the 'best dunked on' of all time, and LeBron had 2 of those spots...Even the number one spot, which was him dunking of the big fundamental (who didn't even jump) and pushing him off the court...I don't know the circumstances of this, but LeBron is one of the most over hyped athletes of all time...
