LeBron James In The Zone

[cavs4872]

I lost all respect that I had for LeBron when I saw this (just kidding; LeBron's still a beast). Luckily someone uploaded it to YouTube so soon. It's just one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen.

Yeah, that struck me as a little odd too but I guess he was just into it. Certainly didn't cost them the game which was a fun one to watch. I don't think Kobe was particularly pleased with his minutes in the fourth quarter though.

Such a tool.

I don't think you should be calling Andrew a tool, Jae.

Maybe Shaq encourages him to rap

Yea I saw that during the game and didn't know what the hell he was doing.

He was really uh ... enthusiastic all game. Jumping over the Lakers bench after a hopeless loose ball, didn't whine most of the game, but when Lamar hit is elbow after a missed 3 shot, he went beserk as if he had seen a miracle (and of course no tech), it was actually pretty funny, Mike Brown pushed him out of the way as to say stop whining it wasn't a foul. And at the end of the game he started pumping his chest and getting all hyped up, even though the crowd (for some reason) wasn't really all that into it. And after his one and-one play against I think Lamar, he was so hyped talking to himself and stuff.

Anyways my point, at the end of the game he said he likes to protect home court (which he always mentions), and how since this game was on TNT he felt he really had to put on a show. It just seemed like everything he did tonight was to try and get attention. And despite his good stat line, he really took some terrible shots and overall didn't really play very well until the 4th scoring-wise. Although he did look for his teammates all game long.

I don't know, I thought he had a legitimate gripe on that one. They say the hand is part of the ball, but the elbow is certainly not part of the hand. Reggie Miller's explanation that it wasn't a foul because the ball had left LeBron's hands was laughable; a decent amount of shooting fouls on jumpshot attempts happen with the ball out of the player's hands and contact comes...Miller himself made that a huge part of his game, using his leg to draw contact after a jumpshot to net himself three free throws or a four point play opportunity.

First he dances, then he sings. What's next?

Making music videos at halftime?

LeBron is starting to look like a kid that's constantly starved for attention.

And has A.D.D. on top of it.

Throws (or kicks? I can't tell it by this angle) Gatorade at fans.

He raised his left leg, that was definitely a kick and he was definitely angry

[Andrew]

It ultimately cost him $25,000.
