NBA: Who Is Talking Sh*t About Lebron Now?
It still blows my mind when any player in the NBA has the nerve to talk sh*t about Lebron. Now let me be clear, I am NOT a Miami Heat fan, I am not even a Lebron fan. But I am a realistic fan and at the end of the day at this point in time, Lebron is clearly the best player in the NBA followed closely by Kevin Durant, Kobe, Melo and a couple others. It just seems at times dudes can’t keep Lebron’s name out of their mouth and it is usually some average player. Well it happened again in the wake of the Heat finally losing a game to end their streak of 27 straight to the Chicago Bulls. Read more after the jump to see who was talking nonsense now.

After the game the other night, Lebron mentioned how there has been quite a few times lately where he is being fouled in a way that he feels is more than just a hard foul. I have to agree with him on this actually. Just because Bron is a big boy doesn’t mean fouls don’t get to him. In the game against the Bulls alone there were 2 different plays where Lebron was basically taken down with no intention of getting the ball. Some of you may disagree with that but those plays were done on purpose and were not basketball plays. Of all the people to open his mouth from the Bulls, Taj Gibson decided he had to respond. If it would of been Derrick Rose I could handle that, but Gibson?? Come on man.
Taj Gibson responded: “I think he’s too good of a player to do that. I didn’t try to collar him,” Gibson said. “I just fouled him. It wasn’t intentionally.I just tried to make a play on the ball, but I fouled him. When he fell, it looked like I collared him. I was really trying to grab him, just not hold him up. Nobody was intentionally trying to hurt anybody out there. When he said those comments, I was really shocked. But it’s part of the game, I guess.” No Taj, he said that because you actually did wrap your arms around him way too high on his body and never made an attempt on the ball. And Kirk Hinrich, who early in the game I admit made a smart play to not let Lebron get a clear way to the rim and throw down a massive dunk, but was still an intentional play. He literally tackled Lebron and brought him down to the ground, again with out making a play on the ball. There is no such thing as being “too good” to complain about certain calls. Now go sit your average ass down Gibson.

So is it ok that lebron and She-Wade get EVERY call? Stop it 5! He complained cause no team has played him that physically in all his years in the league since Stern has babysat him for that long. He took bumps, hits and then he tries a shoulder tackle on Boozer, which by the way was an NFL type hit… “I see the bitch in youuuu…”
I dissagree with ur remarks,u must not be a real basketball fan because hard fouls are paryy of the game. Before jordan won his championships he was fouled very hard by the pistons and the ‘nicks so there for lebron need not to cry ,he get away with a lot of calls he needs to go hard or go home
What a biased article. Have you ever heard of Michael Jordan complain about getting fouled hard??. MJ played in an era that hard fouls were a part of the game. LeBron is 6’8″ and 275 pounds, and he’s complaining about those fouls?. Those were hard fouls, but not dirty. What makes LeBron look bad is that he also waited until AFTER they lost to whine about it. Ridiculous. End of discussion.
Off the charts with this dickriding cmon son r u kidding me hard fouls apart of the game. Why would drose talke he ain’t play taj gibson who had key shots talked taj gibson who fouled him talked get lebrons penis outta your mouth
Look at the haters lol Jordan may never complain but Phil did it for him you idiot this dude complain once in 10 years and now niggas got something to say stfu and if you listen to his comments it was more about I get fouled hard but if I foul a Guy hard it’s a flagrant lol LEARN TO LISTEN FUCKING DICKHEADS. and the game ain’t called like it was 25 years ago lol stop bringing it up assholes. We 2013 not 93
Cisco the fuck are you talking about lol bulls and the Celtics been playing lebron like that for years. Where the fuck you been lol Pacers play him like that too idiot. Did you not see last years playoffs against Pacers. This isn’t the first time lebron was played like that lmao stop being stupid
Lebron acting like this all complaining over minor rough fouls in the heat of a close game with high stakes. he would not have survived the Pistons,Lakers,Celtics late 80’s bad boys era that Jordan and them did..Come on Man
That one had the lock and key on it. The sales lady in the Austria said that they all come with a lock and key. So I’m bummed. Anyone else.
So because Taj Gibson isn’t an all star he doesn’t have the right in your eyes to talk about LeQueens crying. What was Kirk supposed to do? It was like a mack truck barrelling down on a senior citizen. oh i get it, every one is supposed to clear the way when lebron lowers his shoulder. Every game you see LeBron running to the refs crying about one thing or another. Whether its a foul he committed or one he thinks should have been called against him. Just play the game. Do your job and let the officials do theirs. Why don’t you see lebron getting a fine for talking about the officiating but when a coach or another player not named LeBron talks poorly about officiating they get fined.
