But I don’t like a lot of the camera mugging in any sport, so it was pretty guaranteed I’d be annoyed. Celebrating after a big win I can get on-board with, given the adrenaline and excitement of the moment. During the game is OK – I’m not big on the baseball players who pose after a home run or the WRs who act like they’ve never scored a TD before, but I also don’t expect the players to be robots after doing something pretty great. But before the game even starts?

But then I liked sports better (generally speaking – the HD is nice) back when the coverage was low special effect and fans didn’t expect to be entertained during timeouts and all.

The game highlights for the cavs are always half stupid crap

and can even understand how people would find it funny. I was curious what other people thought about it. I think I have a pretty good sense of humor, but if you combine all of his pregame rituals, to me, it gets out of hand.

The rest of the league and its fans will hate him, but it will just unify the team bond as “us against the world.” As long as he gets along with his teammates, it doesn’t matter what people think of him. He’s LeBron James, people will be sucking up to him and trying to get on his good side for years to come.

That’s not what I meant. I think it’s an embarrassment to the game. When is it gonna be too much? Is he gonna start bungee jumping into the game? It’s professional basketball, it’s not the and-1 mixtape tour. Play the game and have some class

“He had a beautiful play the other night and he had no reaction, just got back on defense. For a rookie guard, it’s how hard he plays, and he plays for the wins. He has a style of his own.”

Anyway I guess its kinda funny first time I saw it I thought it was a good one.
Then I saw it on ESPN or something like a week later and thought “they still do this???”

But hey if Cleveland and all them like it I suppose. But I do think that Lebron knows the line…and knows that people will let him cross it. But I anyway I just thought it was funny the first few times I still don’t mind it though.

I think they’re all similar in terms of personality. LeBron is just more obvious with his desire to be the next (or better) Jordan. All 3, to me, are copying MJ’s attitude on and off the court.

There just is something that’s different about Lebron from those other guys you mentioned. Great players are obviously gonna be a little arrogant or a little cocky, that plays a big role in making them great. But when you watch Lebron during games it’s like he thinks he’s in a movie or something. Every little thing he does is exaggerated. Just play basketball and let people decide how great you are instead of dramatizing everything

lebron is “special” cause he’s the “photographer”! he’s not one of the guys, heh.

gives them an opportunity to win a Championship.

Considering the championship history of Cleveland, if the Cavs win a title with LeBron, that team will be forever remembered and hailed as something special. Just like crazy Chicagoans still talk about Super Bowl XX like a member of the family.
