Not sure where to post this so I figured the Basketball forum??

Either way, did anyone see where he was dancing while shooting freethrows and Noah called him out on it?

YouTube - LEBRON JAMES GETS BUCK WITH JOAKIM NOAH AND THEN STARTS DANCING

And then, he goes up for a layup, behind the basket and eats some french fries from a fan.

I just can't stand how cocky he is. Seriously uncalled for. I understand having fun but wow to his ego.

Yes, but the fact that Noah felt like he had the moral authority to question him for doing so was pretty ironic IMO.

In my opinion, couldn't disagree more. Sports are suppose to be fun and entertaining.

The worst thing people can bring up on Lebron is him not shaking hands after the Magics series. Now that I don't agree with, shows good sportsmanship.

But if you listen to Lebron's interviews he is not a cocky player. I'm a huge fan of Lebron and watch as many of his games as I can. But he is always trying to have fun, him dancing is nothing new....

Really think people need to lighten up a little.

I think Noah doing the Cena "you can't see me" hand wave is even worse. LeBron has the right to do stuff like that, too bad his team can't back him up.

Didnt Noah get suspended just because his teammates couldn't stand him? I'm on Lebron's side. He's one of the best to ever play vs a very average post player that no one will remember. I'd love to see Lebron knock him out.

I'm not a lip reader, but pretty sure at 0:18 he didn't say "that's enough...".

Joakim Noah is a nobody. The fan that shared his fries game Lebron a high five, it was a kid and I'll bet it made his night.

Sure it did make the kids night and I can't stand Noah but I think it would probably be disrespectful to the other players

LeBron is played out. ESPN loves him. Just because he is good doesnt mean we all have to like him. I personally, am not a fan of his team or him. The dancing?? He just looks silly to me..

Just dont like how we have to see every play he makes..When I watch a Cav's game on the package, there are all kinds of great plays and highlights that Sportscenter leaves out just to show you what LeBron was doing.

Who Cares?

I can't stand him either. Talk about special treatment regarding fouls. But I really can't stand Noah. Man, Noah and Marshawn Lynch are the two ugliest people I have ever seen. I can't even stand to look at them. I cringe at their very sight. Now I have chills.

Its the NBA folks, not college. MJ calling out Mutombo at the foul line, Sprewell choking his coach, the Kurt Rambis Clothesline, Reggie Miller taunting Spike Lee. Its showtime, and its basically good for the league.

Lebron James, like most superstars.... is larger than life in this league. He has the right to do somethings, IMO.


What is STUPID, is a back up quarterback like Troy Smith dancing in the endzone after a touchdown, when the Ravens are already by almost 50 points on the Lions.

Now thats Bush league.

You can consider the "actions" the same, but the perception is completely different in the eyes of the media and the fans.

Troy Smith does not mean squat to the NFL.

Lebron James means the WORLD to the NBA.

Troy Smith never see's the field until blowouts.

Lebron James wins scoring titles and MVP's.


I'm not saying everything the man does is good and admirable, but there is a difference (IMO) in what certain athletes can do. There will always be Have's and Have Nots.

If your the league MVP, putting up 40 per night, go ahead and eat a french fry. Do a little dance. Everyone will love it, other than the Haters. (CLARIFICATION: I'm not calling anyone here a hater. )

If your a back up QB that scores in a blowout, STFU.

Thats just my outlook.

I can see why some don't like him, just like some didn't like Jordan...but he has earned the right to do stuff like this...if he he was a scrub acting like this then ok...but when you are arguably the best player in the world and you dominate on a nightly basis..you can act a fool sometimes.

I'm sorry but Lebron is the man.. Dude is just awesome.. Joakim Noah is a joke.. He doesn't need to open his mouth around greatness..

Nothin' but entertainment going on here. The french fry move was pretty funny, and he probably made that kid's year with that. Now he can tell all his friends at school he high-fived LeBron James.

i grew up in cleveland... moved away after sr year HS. still have alot of family there... go back on holidays etc.

i loved lebron. i starting tiring of all the stupid antics last year... and then they get rocked by the magic.... oops! i have no love left for the dancing... picture taking... blah blah. he looks gay and stupid doing it. u don't see kobe and wade, garnett, pierce, howard, anthony.... none of those stars are doing gay crap like that. i'm not a kobe fan... but he is a straight up killer... he takes this stuff SERIOUS... and in the clutch... his cold-blooded money. so is wade.

there's 3 things i like to see from lebron... #1. a post up game. #2. equal jordan, kobe and wade when the game is on the line. 2 great finishes in his career is not enough. #3. quit the prancing around.

I don't see why it's any different for Troy Smith to celebrate just because he's not a starter. If a team's losing so bad that the opponent's backup player scores and celebrates, it's their own fault. At least the winning team isn't running it up with starters in. You should be able to stop 2nd stringers from scoring.

LeBron dancing isn't that big of a deal though since they're near their bench and at home trying to entertain fans. It's not like he was purposely trying to do it to piss off the Bulls.

I don't like LeBron though and have heard from a few people who've met him that he's pretty cocky, or at least he was to them.
