Daniel Gibson Mad at LeBron James’ Comments About Cavs Teammates


Boobie Gibson, who has a history of beefing with LBJ, was not thrilled to hear what he considered a shot at the Cavs by James following the Bulls/Heat series. From the Plain Dealer (via The Dugout Sports Show): “After Miami defeated Chicago last week to advance to the NBA Finals, James talked about his decision to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. ‘I wanted to team up with some guys that would never die down in the moment,’ James said. ‘The opportunity presented itself with this great organization and we made it happen.’ Speaking on The Dugout Sports Show Podcast on Wednesday, Gibson said, ‘The way it’s said, you can’t help but take it personal. … I don’t think great players should feel the need to say this about a team or say that about a team. I think what it all boils down to if you’re great, you go play great, be great and everybody will realize you’re great. And you wouldn’t have to let it be known that everybody else was less great. Great players shouldn’t have to do that. So I feel like it’s kind of an admission. He might have needed some help. He might have needed to go somewhere and find someone who is a little greater so maybe he wouldn’t die down in those moments.’”

    I wish Derrick Rose would kick the effin’ bucket every game!
    Not literally…
    Not figuratively either…
    Damn it, y’all know what I meant.

    Yo Rigomatic I know who you were, or are. I used to post under my first name, Michael. I had no link on it either. How do you do the line and that star?

    Also bad luck about the Bulls. I wanted the Bulls to win but a lot of their fans on here gave me the sh*ts big time, you were always cool with it but.

    This is a funny joke, Gibson thinks he is good, even though we all know that the Cavs team was terrible in the playoffs. Lebron had to average ridiculous numbers, just to get the team past the first and second round. Gibson shuldn’t be talkin cuz he was no where last year. Neither was Jamison or Mo. Lebron left to play wit players who would perform in the playoffs, not hide behind him. And Lebron is still the best player in the League right now, no one comes close.

    Stacey King threatened to break Jordan’s legs. Stacey King could have EASILY broken Jordan’s legs. It didn’t stop Jordan.
    Jordan didn’t make fun of Oak cause Oak was Jordan’s boy. Oakley followed him around and protected him on the court, and OFF the court. How’s Jordan gonna insult him if he does that?

    LEBRON JUST F*CKED UP GAME 2. BYE BYE HEAT.

    I bet Wade wishes his teammates wouldn’t die down in the final minutes… Lebron tried to come up clutch and took several ill-advised shots. If that isn’t dying down in the moment I’m not sure what is.

  • giogolo

    ALlenP and anyone who says Daniel Gibson is a moron idiot meh. I really don’t care about the guy. But here’s what I think about lebrawn. Just the way he played the last 6 mins of game 2. Tells everything about the guy. You win or lose with him standing around at the top of the key, holding the ball ’till it hatches and then shooting a haymaker in the dying seconds. thats the only reason WHY DALLAS WILL WIN THIS SERIES. I’ll take you on now. If Miami EVER WINS THIS SERIES. IM NOT GONNA COME BACK HERE FOR A YEAR.
    If they dont. than it certifies what i really think about lebron. i dont care about no bobbie. lerbon is brash, ego-centric, concieted, self-righteous, self-proclaimed king, and it shows he has no winning attitude like DWADE has thats only reason why im for the heat. He’s gonna cause Wade,Haslem and every player in that Heat bench whoo personifies hard work and integrity the chip. he effin zoned out the last 3 mins. shooting last sec. shots way out then not rotating on Dirk when he shot the 3 that put Dallas up 93-90.

    evryone who said here about boobie and lebron jsut ate them all up. this is game 2 but the last few mins, showed the LEBRON during CELTS-CAVS series last year. Same person. Same outcome. Go eat sh*t y’all. I’d rather defend Boobie than this goofball clown le bullsh*t.

  • Yesse

    Might sound stupid, but i agree with Daniel Gibson this time.

  • Harlem_World

    *sigh* Boobie, you really should have the presence of mind to recognize when you have a good thing going. Lebron kept you in the league. Let’s be serious. There are hundreds (probably thousands) of players across the world who could step in and take Boobie’s spot, given the chance. He is an average (at best) athlete, doesn’t have any length for his position and is only required to step up and hit open jumpers – which he got alot of playing with Lebron. Through Lebron, he got Kiesha Cole too. He really should just keep his head down and hope nobody stops to ask “what is he doing here?”

  • yo dadddy

    LEBRON is an ungreatful and boastful player, I dont know how long and how far his career will go with this kind of an attitude…IMMATURE

  • consider this

    people who write these comments and say these things about players dont know what its like when you play 82 games for 42 minutes for 9 months. LBJ has been doing that for 7 years. Fold, take a min. and consider this: you work hard all season long to get your team into a good position for the playoffs. you have home court, the best record, but, one and i do mean one player that has to do it all, all the time. hes young and the Ohio media has fill his head with nonsenses. he is only a Man. people act like he dont get tired. nobody is saying anything about D Rose. i like Rose but he didnt make the finals. you dont here anything been said about him choking, or folding,or a quitter, why not? LBJ is the fall guy, when people dont have anything to talk about in sports they fall back to their fav. player to hate, and pick apart everything he says and does. bottom line is Leave him alone. let him grow up let him come into his own as a player and LEAVE HIM ALONE!

  • consider this

    TO GIOGOLO:
    If its d wades team he should have went and got the ball. think about this, lets say lbj made that “haymaker” and the Mavs could not score on the other end. then everybody would be like oh, d wade played so great and bosh and lbj were struggling. lbj looked at d wade for help d wade gave it to him. and what kind of team stands around while the clock is count down. there was no movement in the heat. maybe set a screen, or dive to the basket,NOBODY, moved NOBODY! he is a good passer move go for the better shot he will find you. that was a Heat breakdown not just lbj.

    Tim Duncan is another player in the modern era who has won a title without a legit second option. As his title runs progressed, people became legit 2nd options. But, his first couple of rings were Duncan’s alone.
    Fact.

    What about David Robinson???

  • J

    I agree with boobie. Lebron didnt have to say nothing at all about his past team. And if you go back it wasnt the other 14 guys that gave up on Lebron it was Lebron that gave up on them.

  • steve c

    boobie! shut up! is it possible that he wasn’t even trying to diss the cavs and just making a general statement in what he wanted? now if he said i wanted to go to a team that actually builds around their superstar and doesnt get washed up players to attempt to build a championship contender, then you have a beef. but your name is boobie, you barely played on a terrible team, and your biggest achievement was marrying mean Keyshia cole. i doubt if you will even be in the league much longer. go sit in the corner somewhere and think of new designs for your terrible haircuts.

  • giogolo

    To consider this:
    we would just be moving around in circles here. So,I’ll leave it at that. i just explained why nobody seems to move. Somehow Spo and Wade just decided to give the ball to Bron durng crunch time like what happened when he went “clutch” in 4th qrts. of the celtic saeries. Sadly, you lie and die by his clutchness. 8 yrs into the league, hundreds of millions of $’s later. And you still make excuses? We we’re all witnesses.

  • giogolo

    Oh it was in another post, my bad. same explanation wouldnt pop up in here. happens sometimes. Oh well. slam comments..

  • J

    Lebron disrepected the Cavs in so many ways.
    Sure he was entitled to leaving the team but he certainly did not need to create so much hoopla and announce his “big” decision on a TV show.
    It was insulting to the city of Cleveland.
    Miami Heat is still D Wade’s team, he is the main reason why they are doing well and why he already has a championship.

  • Chiquis

    i agree with daniel
    it was lebron who always choked at crunch time
    so yeah he did need to go to a team that could still play with him choking
    but looks like miami still couldnt
    they still CHOKED against the old Mavs team
    HAHA SUCKERS
