Video: LeBron Dunks, Won’t Hi-Five a Fan

Nobody said you don’t have things to do in life, your response to my comments proves exactly why you find problems with peoples statements. You don’t pay attention to the words in front of your face. I said “or you just flat out need to examine what truly matters in your life” – read that sentence, then read your response “And please, enough about me or anyone else who notices this kind of stuff as not having things to do in life; get off your high horses.” I said “examine what matters,” not “find something to do.” Nobody is belittling you.

It just came across as extremely condescending (holier-than-thou), which is why people reacted to it the way they did.

@nbk – “Examine what matters” still implies that I have nothing better to do than read into Lebron’s character with my time. I read about basketball – it comes up, what can I say? Regardless, I don’t want to make this about me and you, so let’s move on.

NO it means, if your getting offended by an athlete saying something like “people still have problems at home that they have to go back to when they are over hating on me” then you need to examine what matters in your life. I read more basketball everyday then any person I know. There is no way you can try and flip what I’m saying into “you have nothing better to do than read into LeBron’s character with your time” – that is crazy off-base. Just like saying what LeBron said was condescending. His words applied to the queen of england if she said he was a choke artist. smh

I stick up for Lebron, and I think Lebron is a great guy. You can shout out “THE MEDIA IS PROTECTING LEBRON” because he has 200 stories about what a nice person he is…
or, more logically, you can assume those 200 stories are legit and the three stories you can find which projects Lebron in a bad light are the outliers.
BUTTTTTTTTT that all being said…. “people can all go bash on me but they gotta go back to their real problems” was kind of a dbag thing to say. It wasn’t meant to be philosophical. It was an insult. Why else would he say it?

It wasn’t meant as an insult – it was more like, “this stuff doesn’t matter, y’all realize that right?” – If he was insulting people he would have said, “I’m going to go back to my life where my biggest problem is winning basketball games, while y’all go back to yours, and try and feed your families” That would be an insult.

I make the Kobe face anytime I do something that I find to be in any way shape or form dominate. I do the KobeFace at the TV when I dunk on the computer in 2k12. I made the KobeFace at my girlfriend when I made the most amazing catch of all time the other day. A little kid did the KobeFace at me at the Gym last week after he hit a 3 lol – i think what these guys do on the court has a much much much much bigger effect on our youth then what they say in a press conference. Sh*t I didn’t watch my first press conference until i was 13 or whatever age it was when AI did his “you talking about practice” rant, and I’ve always been crazy about basketball.

nbk needs to play in a part of the country where making that face on a streetball court would wind up getting his jaw broken.

If I’m makin that face in an open-run, it’s because I’m killin it.

No NBK if you’re making the Kobe face at any time in life it’s because you’re a douche.
Lol.

At least if you did the Big Balls dance, some dudes would laugh about it.

Buzz Killington strikes again.

Maybe if you pulled your lips off Kobe’s a)ss, you’d know the face we’re talking about…
Sorry, I couldn’t resist that easy joke.

As long as I’m winnin (dominantly) I’ll be the biggest douche on earth.

LA Huey click my name for a demonstration of the Kobe Face.

There places like that in Phoenix. Actually my freshman year of college a few of my teammates had a guy pulled a gun on them during a pickup game at a park because they were killin these older guys. (they said they were not talkin sh*t, but one of them has never played a game in his life where he didn’t tell you he was beating you while he was beating you, so I don’t believe that). There are courts everywhere that dudes get too sensitive or macho (whatever your perspective is).

Pulling a gun over a basketball game is a b*tch move, though I’ve seen it too. The best thing I ever heard was a dude that said, after having a guy say he was “going to his car” after a bout of intense s*it talking, the pther dude said back “b*tch, you can’t even shoot a basketball right, how the fu*k are you going to shoot ME?” Man, I laughed my a*s off.

I don’t know I’ve played all over NYC and primarily in South Jamaica Queens and rarely have I seen dudes actually fight over trash talk. Usually if a dude is talking smack you try to shut him up by shutting him down and busting his azz ON the court. To me, if you punch a guy in the face because of a face or trash talk, you’re probably a sensative punk that sucks at basketball.

You could be right dfrance or you’re playing in a mellow hood. I never played ball in Queens but I have people there and I never heard any roughneck stories about the games there. Didn’t Kobe punch Reggie Miller in the face? Would that make him “suck at basketball?” Shaq punched a couple of guys in the face. So did MJ. Larry Bird too. I think you might be a bit mild mannered, dfrance ! LOL

Naw, Hilarious sh*t AllenP, keep those original gems coming. Pheww sooo funny.

As a Kobe fan I can tell you that almost EVERY TIME he does the crowd silencer,mutombo finger wave, or big balls dance we lose, its bad luck! Finley at the buzzer, and Battier’s corner 3 are still fresh in my memory. Brons little push up whenever he gets hit is unnecessary, and Westbrooks 3 goggles that he puts in his imaginary holsters also drives me crazy. And guns at the court?? you guys must be playing in QB where dudes are getting stabbed with table legs..

dfrance, I’m guessing that was meant for LakeShow. I’m pretty familiar with the NBA’s signature taunts.

I argued with somebody the other day about “love for the game” versus the money, and I said that all the athletes I knew were ALWAYS thinking about the money.
Anyway, click my name for a list of them saying exactly that.

No one in the right mind is going all the way up to alaska to play in an exhibition game unless Sarah Palin is at the airport to “receive” them.

Damn, Enigmatic. It was a playful jab, sheeeeeeeeit.
