It's cool to crack a smile or a joke against an opponent at times but I think the dancing is a bit much and im from Cleveland. Funny how I read comments from those outside of Ohio and I see that many dont think much of Lebron and the Cavs. Numerous times I have made a negative comment about them and people here look at me as if Ive commited a sin. My favorite players growing up were kevin johnson, barkley, bird, magic, worthy, jordan, hakeem and others but I cant recall any of them doing any dancing or pregame handshakes.
Im glad Kobe doesnt do this. When I watch him he's out to win. No pregame dance, no resin throwing, no buddy buddy handshakes with the opponent. What I really liked is when in the finals I believe Gasol was fouled on a clear path to the hoop and Kobe went over to let I believe it was Pietrus know that he wasnt having that. Lebron on the other hand will act like nothing happened especially if its somebody from the Dream Team.
Kobe seeking out hakeem to work on his post game really shows he cares about his game and knows his history. Lebron is an amazing talent but he pisses me off when he says he is student of the game and knows the history. If this was the case why would you switch to number 6 when Dr.J and Bill Russell wore the number and both are champions.
