C'mon Noah!

[Frank Breakfast Styleham]

Is it just me or should Joakim Noah know a thing or two about dancing at a basketball game?

There was nothing wrong when he did it, there was nothing wrong when LeBron did it.

When people dance they're happy. It's a normal human response.

I feel the same way about this than I do when football coaches go crazy when opponents run up the score when it's already a blow out.

You don't want them running up the score and pimpin' around in your endzone?

Get your defense out there...stop them. If you don't stop them they should be able to march into there all they want.

LeBron was playing well and like a lot of players, he decided to have a little fun. How many times did we see Antoine Walker dance or Nick Van Exel shake after bustin' a 3 in someone's face?

And furthermore LeBron and the entire Cavs team were seen dancing in the tunnel before the game even started. He was dancing before the game in his warm ups and the fans were going nuts in applause...this is a fun team just having fun so c'mon...i hate it whenever someone in sports is having fun and the Happy Police always have to flash their badges and make sure any element of laughter or fun is terminated (flags and fines for endzone celebrations, dancing in basketball, etc.)

And also, this game wasn't in Chicago. It was in Cleveland. LeBron was probably just doing this to get the fans even more excited. It's cool when one of your guys is that into it and actually has a sense of humor.

Hey Noah. You don't want LeBron dancing around after scoring all over your teammates? I have a profound, scientifically-proven solution. Grab a pen and a notepad and take this down.

It's called defense. You don't think he should dance? Go out there and block every shot that he takes.

Oh yeah. My bad.

You were sitting on the bench in a blow-out defeat.

I say, if you don't bring the D, LeBron should be able to get up on the scorestable and tap dance for 20 minutes if he wants. In fact, if I was LeBron, I would have started dancing right in front of Noah and the Bulls bench (can you imagine the brawl that would have started, lol).

Next time, stop him. Blow them out. Then maybe you can dance.

 

[houheffna]

That is the way I feel.

 

[Frank Breakfast Styleham]

If a player from the team that just lost to Florida came over to Noah when he was dancing and started barking at him how ridiculous would that have been? They just won...he's happy.

You know?

It's called disrespect. Lebron disrespected not just the whole Bulls team but the game itself with his idiotic dancing. I'm not a fan of showboating at all but that's all Lebron is. He's the biggest showboat ever. He says he's out there having fun. I say he's being a conceited a-hole ******. Was MJ jerkin' & jivin' when he dropped 63 on the Celtics in the playoffs. Was MJ doing the running man while averaging 41ppg during the 93 Finals? No. It's one thing to do the whole pre-game stuff, sure that's all fun & nice. But when your blowing out a team, you're not trying to get the crowd in it. They already are. Now you're just being a disrespectful, showboating assclown. And then he has the nerve in the post-game to start talking about being disrespected & while continuing to disrespect the player who so-called disrespected you with your comments. Lebron is an assclown. He's always been that way. Some people like it. I don't. But I still wouldn't mind him breakdancing in a Bulls uni.

That was a national championship. This was a early regular season game. A Little bit different don't ya think?

 

[Frank Breakfast Styleham]

Should we note that Michael Jordan and LeBron James are two completely different personalities? Jordan had a good sense of humor but was way more serious when he was on the court. That was also an entirely different era in the league as well as sports for that matter too.

We've seen more colorful and comical personality in this decade than we've ever seen in sports...the NFL...MLB...and the NBA especially.

LeBron has a great sense of humor but unlike Jordan he brings that to the court. They just happen to have different personalities.

As you said at the end...

If LeBron was on the Bulls and the entire Bulls team came out of the tunnel dancing and smiling and rocking the United Center (instead of the boring, mediocre, somberness we really have) would anyone be this upset?

Of course not!

Noah got his point across. I think he got Lebron's attention. Will be interesting to see what happens later in the season.

 

[RC_Skinny22]

Me 2. I was laughing about Lebron, too. It´s entertaining and funny to watch.

I think it was wrong from Noah to talk trash to James during his freethrow. I think he didn´t get a T, did he? Look at Deng and Rose doing nothing. I thought that you should either say Noah to shut up or James to go away.

[Frank Breakfast Styleham]

It was so weird. LeBron's about to shoot a free throw and then all of a sudden his eyes shift over to the Bulls bench and he's talking and then nonchalantly makes the shot.

He could have made that free throw while he was looking at Noah. That's how good James is.

So he needs to dance all game & throw that in his opposing players faces? But hey he's just having fun out there.

Guarantee if that happened during any era other than the current NBA, Lebron would've been planted straight on his ass on the ensuing possession & rightfully so.

 

[houheffna]

Planting Lebron on his ass probably wouldn't stop him. We ain't talking about just any athlete. Dude is physically a beast...

Most NBA players today are pussies. Plain & simple. Size has nothing to do with it. Bruce Lee was 5' 4" & beat opponents double, even triple his size. It's about being a fighter. There are very few who would fight & Lebron does not strike me as a fighter. Unfortunately the only Bull who would do anything is rail thin. But if Oak was still on the Bulls, Bron woulda been in the 3rd row after that play.

 

[Frank Breakfast Styleham]

If the dancing started at that point in the game that would seem disrespectful. But the dancing began before the game even started - the entire team was doing it.

He wasn't doing this in Chicago. He wasn't doing this in the middle of the court in front of everyone. He wasn't doing this in front of the Bulls bench...

The guy was practically in front of the Cavs bench in Cleveland probably just to generate the crowd.

Again...if Noah doesn't like him doing that, he needs to stop him next time.

As for if LeBron did that in the 80's...man lol. I can see the Bad Boys going after him.

When I think disrespectful i think about Kirk Snyder scoring and then running up to the opponents bench and posing in front of them all. lol That was pretty funny actually because his team was getting blown out and it made no sense. lol

Let's see...what's a good example...?

How about that little punk Caron Butler mocking everyone (Quentin Richardson's head bump, LeBron throwing up his arms before the game, etc.). There was no reason for him to do that other than to be a cocky little punk.

Remember when Dr. J was punching Bird back in '84? It all started when Bird lit him up for like 44 points and Erving only had 6 and Bird told him to his face(!!!!) "44-6 Doc. 44-6..."

To me, that's more disrespectful than LeBron just quietly dancing for 5 seconds by the Cavs bench.

first of all noah did his dancing AFTER they had finished the game. lebron was doing this during the game, on the sidelines and on the court. if he had done his dancing after the game, fine. but have some damn respect to the team you are blowing out. have some class, and earn the right to be called a professional.

you cant just say "well noah should have just played better and D up." we all know bron is a better player than noah, but that does NOT make it ok to be a dick. its like running a game against a team of sixth graders, beating their asses, and dancing up and down the court on them. but then again, you deserve to dance like that because youre on the superior team and youre winning, right.

bron cannot expect everyone to be "a good sport" when he himself is anything but that. he is a sore loser and a big-headed winner. he is lucky he didnt get jumped. you do that in any playground game and youre going home limping.

 

[Frank Breakfast Styleham]

I grant you he has been a sore loser before. You've got to shake the other teams hands when you lose.

And Stacey King just backed up everything I said on the broadcast tonight. There's a time & a place for that stuff. And it's not during a blowout loss in front of the opposing teams bench from your best player & captain.

 

[Kush77]

I can see both sides of the argument here. But the funny thing is the Bulls (or mostly Noah) have something to say about it, then you turn around and get your ass handed to you by a team that gives up 110ppg. Ugh this team is just so average.
