So where in that video does Jordan react like a 5 year old girl who just saw a spider? I realize you're a closeted LeBald fanboy, but damn Stadiumdorm, this takes the cake :lol:

He's bumping into a referee while throwing a temper tantrum. Jordan was well known for his verbal abuse of officials. He got the benefit of almost every call in his career, but "almost" wasn't good enough for him.

It's not a defense of Lebron. It's a refutation of the myth that somehow Jordan was above whining and complaining when he was one of the pioneers of such childish activities.

I didn't see Jordan acting like a female though. He was [censored]ed, and he let the refs know about it. And I don't think anybody who has any knowledge of the NBA believes Jordan was above complaining and whining. He did it all of the time. He just didn't look like a bitch doing it. LeBron gets insanely dramatic and looks ridiculous. There's a massive difference.

Find me a video of Jordan looking like a 5 year old who just had their toy truck stolen.

I agree with most of the sentiment on here, and obviously I'm an outsider to the whole LeBron thing, but I find the revisionist reverence of Jordan kind of interesting. Not just this thread, but basketball fans/the media in general.

That particular case seemed like a man's argument. A real, baseball manager-esque tirade where he knew his consequence was one thing- ejection.

I personally see a substantial amount of difference in LeBron's on-court behavior towards refs- and it's summed up with the word 'whining."

But I'm also on board with NF waiting for Jaws to ruin this guy.

No one said anything to the contrary.

The hell it isn't a defense of LeBitch. The situations are entirely different, the REACTIONS are entirely different and while one got tossed, the other is going to be an often photoshopped reaction of a bitchmade wannabe.

Fatigued from long playoff run, LeBron not sure he has the energy to guard Tony Parker much more in Game 2

Will fatigue affect LeBron ahead?
