Lebron's New Groove


Cleveland Cavaliers leader Lebron James has a new groove on the court. For some reason Lebron James has moved pass all the pre game antics and started some in game antics. Lebron James is getting cockier by the minute and I must admit that it's getting a little irritating.
We all know Lebron is a great player and has a chance to be the best player ever. He lead his team to the NBA finals early in his career, but got swept. He's also was the fastest player to reach 10,000 or 20,000 points or something like that and has earned a NBA Most Valuable Player award a year ago, but still has no championship. Lebron feels entitled to a lot and thinks that a NBA championship should be handed to him. He obviously feels like he is destined to win a championship and proves it by dancing and showing what people call major swag on the court.
Look I understand confidence on the court because every athlete should feel they are the best player in any sport's league and should exude it to the fullest, but it's a difference between confidence and cockiness. Lebron is showing cockiness by dancing all over the court. He's on the sideline needing to get rest so he can return to the game, but waisting energy dancing. I know how it is to feel like you own a team, but at the same time being a professional should come before all the dancing and show boating. You make a game winning shot, celebrate and dance. You make a tough and one show off some swag, but make the free throw.
If Lebron wants to dance all over the court, win a championship. I was happy to see Chicago Bulls Joakim Noah step up to Lebron and tell him all that dancing is corny and uncalled for, but if I was Noah I would go back to the old skool basketball player and give Lebron James a hard foul and something to think about. Lebron is a great player, but he too can end up like Charles Barkley or Karl Malone without a championship. Have fun Lebron, but win a championship first or else all that dancing means nothing.
