T.O. Is Alive And Well And Playing In the NBA

[PirateFan_2010]

thats your opinion, but i dnt agree with it... what is wrong with flexing your muscles on an and one??? oh i know nothing. lol

I guess you could chalk it up to gross immaturity.

Perhaps even youthful exuberance.

But isn't a little of LeBron James getting to be a bit too much these days?

I can understand the excitement of the best season in Cavs history capturing the city, and I guess I understood the "Witness" shirts, BUT

What is next? First came the powder demo before tip off, then the whatever you call it dance huddle, then him taking shots with an imaginary cam corder, but the flexing of his muscles and posing reminds me of only one person...Team Obliterator Owens!

What's next? Pulling a sharpie out of his socks after a dunk and autographing the ball before throwing it into the stands?

Who was the old coach who used to say, "Act like you've been there before," or "win with class?" Small wonder the kids are mimicking him and pulling their jerseies out and thumping their chests and posing. He is the role model for all of it.

I've been sitting here trying to remember when I ever saw Magic or Bird or especially Jordan act like that. In fact, I can name an entire Hall of Fame of players who wouldnt have thought of calling attention to themselves like he does.

I dont know the man. For all I know he is great in the community and is great with kids. I just wish he portrayed more of a team first image than the me-me-me his actions of late seem to convey.

Cavs are on a two game losing streak after getting blown out tonight and beat by the lowly Wizards last night. Perhaps LeBron can take a lesson from Braylon Edwards who spent so much time last off season selling everything including himself and then went out and had the worst year of his career.

Perhaps LeBron needs to be reminded that the Cavs havent won anything yet and get back to spending more time focusing and less time posing for the cameras.

Come on!! Give the guy a break.
I don't always like it when grown men act like kids, but its not just James its the hole team which tells me that they are a very close nit group of guys. They are having fun and its paying off.

you cant name one player in the NBA past or present, who hasnt got an and one, and not got excited... everyone has or is doing it... idk... but you either hat nba and think they have that "thug" persona written on them, and if so... well old time lol you dont need to be on a computer. lol jk

You are missing the point. Even James and his buddies werent acting like this before this season. This is a departure in conduct for even them.

I dont need to be schooled on the idiots who tug on their jersies and act a fool, and there is nothing wrong with being old school; apparently old school means winning with class and not making a fool of yourself.

My opinion. Your opinion. I expressed mine. You expressed yours. And I am willing to bet that I've been following the NBA longer than youve been alive, unless you are at least 51 years old, because I've been a fan of the St. Louis/Atanta Hawks since the days of Bob Pettit.

thats great and we are all proud of you that you have been following the NBA that long
the game has changed get over it thats all you can do

LBJ is one of the best players in the league, and one of the richest, he can flex his muscles at anyone and everyone if he wants to.

LeBron and the Cavs arent making a fool of themselves, sorry and maybe you dont realize that because your dont follow them like i do, so go watch your failing hawks and get all of that stupid old school stuff out of your head... and btw the cavs win A LOT , and with CLASS... you must be mistaken.

[Tartanblue]

To compare T.O and James is ludacris...James does all the picture taking and stuff before the and also INVOLVES HIS TEAMMATES.....T.O. does non of that. If anything James is bringing his team together doing that not seperating it.

As for him getting excited about getting an and one after a basketball...show me one NBA player or even college player who doesn't get excited about it and shows it.

[Raiderball]

I'm with you forever... sometimes I think I'm watching WCW or whatever that's called now. I guess basketball isn't enough to entertain some people so we have to have a show along with it.

How about when Michael Jordan closed his eyes on a foul shot to show off? That's not drawing attention to himself? You must not have been watching back that far to that game. It's basketball.. people show off.. it's all for entertainment purposes and quite frankly I'M ENTERTAINED and LOVE watching LeBron James play basketball and throw chalk in the air and pose! Keep it coming it's awesome!
