Most of you probably have no idea who Houston Rockets forward Chuck Hayes is (Sixth Man of the Year candidate) but he decided to take a shot at Mr. Lebron James dancing against Joakim Noah after the Rockets win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
We get more from Slam Online:
James has already ticked off Joakim Noah, and now Chuck Hayes has voiced displeasure with LBJ’s dancing on the sidelines during blowouts: “Yeah (it was wrong), but if Joakim Noah and the Bulls have a problem with it, beat him, he won’t dance,’
Hayes said. ‘I notice that the Cavs, they do all their sideline acts in the game when they’re up big. When it’s a close game, they don’t do that. Make them respect you and they won’t do it. To showboat another professional, it’s disrespectful. If you feel disrespected, do something about it within the game, nothing dirty. Eventually, all the dancing and acting will stop. They only do it when they’re up big.’
Preach Mr. Hayes, Preach. At times, I really do not get what the entire fuss is about Lebron James dancing but I can understand why some players gets irritated.
It's completely understandable, when you are up by more than 20 or so points, I would try to get the business done and not worry about showing up the other team. Some people can interpret the dancing as a "showing-up" of the opponent. However, Lebron is Lebron and he can do whatever he wants to do.
However, if continues to "show-boat" without a championship, it does not help his cause either.
