Video: LeBron makes Bulls ballboy pick up his clothes

[Basketball Fan]

Have to admit its not that horrible but the comments alone are hilarious. Not a good PR move :lol:

[Ancient Legend]

I noticed this live. It was the enemy's ballboy, a fine move by LBJ.

Did Genghis Khan have mercy on the enemy's children as he rose to conqueror?

[Andrei89]

What an assh0le.

After all these years it's karma that does not let Lebron win a ring.

The difference between him and MJ is that MJ became an assh0le after he won some rings. Lebron made the mistake of being cocky while he had no rings at all. People won't remember him by his MVP's but by rings.

I hope he wins none:cheers:

How hard is it to just hand your shit to the ballboy? What a dick.

Only the king is more like the peasant of a small village right now. He hans't conquered nothing yet

[Meticode]

Not that it's okay, but you should make a video about all NBA players do this, becuase it happens all the time.

I got it! Let's crucify LeBron! $40,000 fine and 1 game suspension for unmoral conduct!

[zORi]

How hard is it to just hand your shit to the ballboy? What a dick.

Y'know when people called Lebron a dick on here I used to think it was just because they didn't like him, because I'd never seen him do anything that bad (I didn't think not shaking hands was a big deal).

I think I'm starting to see what people are talking about though, this guy is clearly smelling himself too much.

Jackass.

[zORi]

The thing is, Kobe did it to his own towel boys, which is worse than LeBron doing it to the enemy's.

That first video was an obvious accident.

The second, that's bad, but not as bad imo.

Kobe's been known to hit things when he's mad (he recently stopped with the towels and started hitting the cushions on the chairs).
It doesn't compare imo.

The kid was right there, and it's not like Lebron had anything to be frustrated about.

[brantonli]

That was just a douche move. Nothing else can be said about it.

:wtf: Jordan was always an a-hole before and after the rings. It was just more noticeable when he won rings as you know people cared at that point. Plus if Jordan did something like this which I'm sure he has it wouldn't have been seen by us. But in the age of TMZ everything is seen.

[King Lebron LBJ]

Got to admit that really is inexcuseable.

:roll: :roll: :roll: @ the Kobe defenders.. what about this ??

Yeah, pretty obvious this is the answer here, but haters see what they want to lol. Should he have thrown the towel from the guy's hand to the floor? No. But you're all ****ing hypocrites if you act like you've never been mad and thrown/hit or acted in a less than "acceptable" behavior. He was mad, everybody does things they shouldn't when they are mad.

As for the LBJ clip. You can see the first time he actually pulls away his clothes and throws them to the ground to make sure the kid has to pick it up off the ground (When the kid was reaching out to grab them) and subsequent articles of clothing, does the same. And there was no reason at that time for him to act like that.

[ashbelly]

He's trying to make a point to see whether Kobe defenders will defend Ginobili because he thinks it's a similar situation as to the second Kobe one.

[Juges8932]

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: You really have your stan glasses on.

Actually, I am anything but a stan, but ok lol. You have your hater shades on, and it's pretty obvious, so stfu, clown. I can definitely critique Kobe and have before. Is he my favorite athlete? Yeah, doesn't make me a stan.

[Xsatyr]

Wow Lebron is a douche. That is a new low, even for him.

[zORi]

:roll: :roll: :roll: @ the Kobe defenders.. what about this ??


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEvkrae8vZ8&feature=watch_response

Ginobili's an asshole, too, I've already seen that and another similar to it.

I have no idea what this has to do with Lebron, or Kobe, though.

Seriously. All nba players do it :lol No player hands the ballboy their warmups. He should have handed it to him but dont act like lebron the only one that does it :confusedshrug:

[Floppy]

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: You really have your stan glasses on.
No he doesn't but you do.

Kobe and Ginobili just vented some frustration unlike Lebron who deliberately humiliates the towel boy for no apparent reason.

[Juges8932]

I agree, Kobe's wasn't nearly as bad as Lebron, imo.

[DukeDelonte13]

haters gonna hate... that's all i got to say.

[RaceBannana]

if Karma existed then Nash would not know where to put all of his championship rings...

Exactly....
you don

[Mamba]

Wow Lebron is a douche. That is a new low, even for him.
new low?

so wait this must have to do with lebron being low before.

im sorry but when the **** has lebron ever been low? he's been a sore loser but low wtf did he do besides make a towel boy earn his money?

[jstern]

One thing that I noticed these past few weeks is how these players are so used to having cameras all up in their faces, it's just part of their life, and they don't really think about. The same with everyone around them staring at them. Lebron is standing straight up, completely focused on getting back in the game, I doubt he was aware that the kid was reaching for his clothes, and just did what every player probably does, throw the clothes to the side.

[CavsLebronMo]

Noah disrespects Cleveland, why not disrespect some Chicago natives? If it was his own towel boys, then it would be bad. Don't really see the problem with this though.

Genghis Khan was an asshole

[wang4three]

Oh well. I mean, that is his job. It was impolite and discourteous, but whatever.

[LA_Showtime]

Haha I remember seeing that. I thought it was a dick move, although LeBron was probably thinking about the game.

[pete's montreux]

This has always been on my mind, but I've never said anything. Every player does it, to their own staff even. But what makes me not say anything is you don't know how they treat them on off-hours. I can guarantee you a lot of players will do something nice for their home ball-boys, give them some cash or sign some autographs. There's also a select few, a small percentage who are probably a*sholes to everyone. Maybe LeBron is, maybe he isn't, but this video is definitely not enough evidence for either side.

[ashbelly]

I am referring to his overall attitiude and arrogance, do I even need to bring up his dancing? The guy is a douche, why you mad?

[thejumpa]

You can tell none of you have been to a game and/or don't pay attention when someone is at the scorers table. Every player does this...not just stars and not just LeBron.

Furthermore, I would gladly pick up LeBrons or whoevers clothes if it meant I could sit courtside and watch the game.....and get paid.

[D3vIrGiNiz3r]

After all these years it's karma that does not let Lebron win a ring.

:oldlol: @all these years. He's 25!

Anyways, his head is in the game. Who cares? He's busy scoping who's on the court, etc.

[samballs]

Lebron hate is strong... who cares about ballboys, that kid is the happiest kid in the world.

[Kingwillball]

Im a huge Lebron fan but have to admit that was a dick move !

[JaE_BLiZZy]

This is actually pretty funny, lol

[OneMoreSucka]

Everyone throws their warmups on the floor, this is not news.

[Pha Q]

If you see the ******* video...you can see lebron clearly moves his clothes farther from the towel boy...what a ***** .....**** that *****

[StacksOnDeck]

And people say Kobe is a Jordan wannabe, the 23 jersey number, the being an asshole. :oldlol:

[King Lebron LBJ]

The only excuse you could use is Lebron was so focused on the game he blanked him out from his mind. Thats the only thing I can think of with any logic.

[Shax]

Some of you girls need to get over yourselves. It's not a big deal.

I see this shit happen almost every game.

[Kellogs4toniee]

I really hope your joking about that. Jordan was always an asshole. That's clear as silk right now given all the stories, accounts, articles, and etc. of him during his playing days.

I don't understand how you could just do that.
I think many here, including myself, wouldn't just throw everything on the floor while someone is standing there with his hand reaching out.
It's a pretty bitchy move, but a lot of players do it. That was just over the top and blatant though. Come on Bron, you're better than that:no:

Well, yes, in the real world most people have consciences and manners.

[Crystallas]

You should have heard what he was saying to the fans, when he dove into them. I was sitting right in front of the last row, LeBron ran into durring the 4th quarter of Sunday's game, and he just said "you don't deserve to touch this" and "enjoy your last game here".

A simple, excuse me, or heck, say nothing would have been better. But what can you expect? LeBron has been cocky and spoiled since Junior High.

[macpierce]

lebron noticed the towel boy and threw his clothes away from the towel boy..........:oldlol: he didnt do it out of anger, he was being a dick, but its ok he's still the 2nd coming of jesus christ

That will never happen in his entire nba career. Maybe 10 years after he's retired, but even then it's doubtful

It's really not that big of a deal... :oldlol:

BTW, I would love for a cocky player to show LeBron up and do that stupid pre-game routine and throw up some chalk.

[oh the horror]

Agreed. The guy simply has the game to back up that supersized ego unfortunately. When you're THAT good, you can afford to be cocky..and a prick. Look at Jordan.

I found that hilarious.

[dnyk1337]

Wait. So people justify hard fouls like the ones before the league was pu.ssified, but care about LeBron making a Bulls towelboy work extra hard on purpose? You can see he did it on purpose... You always make your enemy work and you never show weakness. Does at least one poster here actually have a winning mentality? Guess not.

Dude, its a 15 year old towel boy. :lol Its not like they're apart of the heat of battle or anything.



Honestly the situation itself isnt a big deal. I think all ball players couldnt hurt to be more courteous to their towel boys, ball boys, etc.

Nobody should be surprised by this. Isn't he the same guy who threw cups full of gatorade in the face of his own fans?

frustration gets the best of everyone sooner or later.

[artest 93]

That "ballboy" should write an autobiography about his painful memories being around LeBron James. He should appear on Oprah and tell the world how hurt he was, and that he didn't think humans could be so rude and selfless. I'd buy the book and the appropriate autograph(s) on it.

[Freshprince619]

Even though he was mad for no reason thats somewhat excusable because he ws frusturated. But Video in op is unexcusable. As the ball boy moves he keeps throwing each article of clothing in a differen direction.
Cant wait to see that look on Lebrons face when he gets knocked out by Orlando :D :D

[Phong]

Is there any rules that prevents players to scream like mad men to vent their frustrations? You get called for a foul (or you got fouled) but instead of arguing with the ref, you just stand there (or go to the bench) and scream at the top of your lungs. :lol

[Johnni Gade]

He's just fukcing with the kid. I thought it was funny.

His fanbase is douchebage, so you can see the justification of his asshole actions. Hope he breaks his knee cap or tears his ACL or both.

Next time the ballboy shouldn't even make it seem like he's gonna pick up his clothes. If I were him I'd stand there with my arms crossed and then I'd pick his clothes up taking my sweert ass time after L.J spends some time on the court.

Whether or not, this happens a lot, it is still a dick move.

the worst thing to me that makes him look like a tool bag is he threw his overshirt into the barrier to make him walk back. then he looked at him. are you serious, lebron?

[CLE[216]]

This shit is hilarious. I mean, both the video and this thread. Y'all are seriously bitching about how a ball boy gets treated?

[O.J A 6'4Mamba]

Come on it comes with the job description. This is just like when your in High School/College and leave your food on the table because you know it is the janitors job description to pick it up.

If the kid has a problem with picking up clothes, rather then them being handed to him then he shouldnt be a ball boy.

Things like this shows the arrogance for LeBron to challenged Jordan and become 1b to Jordan's airness.

7 pages? :eek:

And people were asking what everyone will talk about if the Lakers get eliminated.

LOL You're comparing the 3 videos you posted to LeBron's video? LOL First vid of Kobe was unintentional and the 2 other videos a lot of NBA players vent their frustrations. The difference is, LeBron acted like a punk. The ball boy is right there ready for LeBron to hand him his clothes but no, ball boy sticks his hand out LeBron has his clothes in his hand but keeps it away from the ball boy and drops it on the floor.

[Phong]

Come on it comes with the job description. This is just like when your in High School/College and leave your food on the table because you know it is the janitors job description to pick it up.So when the janitor or the waitress at the restaurant is extending her hand to pick up the plates you just throw it on the floor or push the plates farther away from her?

That's when you get you food messed with next time you come back. The ball boy should've poured itching powder into LeBron's warmups.

I hadn't ever seen LeBron kicking the gatorade clip before. I wonder what's the limit you could do as a player without any repercussions in game? If you're pissed could you just go dump gatorade on your fans to "vent" and still play in that game?

[OmniStrife]

if Karma existed then Nash would not know where to put all of his championship rings...
Especially with Mr. Sportsmanship at his side :lol

But srsly, that vid kinda disappointed me as a LeBron fan.
What he's done as a self-proclaimed role-model & image for thousands it's degrading him.

it's not about picking up clothes. ball boy does it all the time, i'm sure. it's the fact that lebron had to actually go out of his way to throw it AWAY from him. do you go to a restaurant and pour mustard on the table before you leave? it's not your 'job' to clean up, right? the whole point is that it's just way unnecessary.

call me old-fashioned. i also get ticked when people leave their shopping carts in parking spaces. it's called common courtesy, something lebron lacks here. what is this, 'competitive spirit' towards a...ball boy?

[Shax]

You guys are seriously either ****ed up in the head or plain stupid.
He obviously sees the kid who's reaching out and intentionally throws it in the other direction.

And the arguments of "Been done before" are even dumber.
The repetition of an asshole behaviour does not give it an approval.

I'm not saying Lebron should or shouldn't have done it, It's more the fact that I have seen this happen many many times and the only reason this thread exists is because Lebron did it.

Personally if I were that kid I would rather Lebron throw his sweaty clothes away from me, rather than at me.

[OmniStrife]

I don't think Lebron should have done it, but it's more the fact that I have seen this happen many many times and the only reason this thread exists is because Lebron did it.
Well cause he IS a franchise player, thus, naturally he's expected to show some class.

[allball]

I've seen numerous players do this over the years. they always toss their warmups on the floor.

[zORi]

Well cause he IS a franchise player, thus, naturally he's expected to show some class.
I've seen people throw their clothes on the floor when the ball boys are behind them, and the player doesn't them.

But I've never seen anyone purposefully turn away from the kid, who is literally a foot in front of him with his arm reached out, to toss his clothes on the ground.

I highly doubt that was even an accident.

Y'know, I'm actually starting to wonder about Lebron.

[DukeDelonte13]

Only Lebron can generate a thread with over 100 posts about throwing his warmups on the ground. He must be damn good. :oldlol: :oldlol:

[Phong]

I've seen numerous players do this over the years. they always toss their warmups on the floor.They throw it on the floor and in several different directions when the ball boy is standing right in front of their noses and extending his arm and hand to receive the warm-ups?

He threw them when that kid was right under his nose asking for the clothes. And he didn't just drop it down. He threw it in several direction away from the kid. Stop hanging from his nuts for once.

That was just a douche move. Nothing else can be said about it.

i think ppl are putting too much thought into this. maybe he wanted to make sure to keep that kid off of the court.

Bang.

I've never actually thought anything negative Lebron until I came to this forum and started seeing a whole lot of things that other people don't really mention.
Such as the gatorade thing, and this.

[kentatm]

dick move and any other player that does that is also a dick.

[jstern]

Again, I downloaded the video and played the ball boy part frame by frame. Lebron is oblivious to the ball boy. I watched it live as it happened, Lebron was coming out of the locker room, with people surrounding him, and a cameraman walking backwards in front of him. I kept imagining what's that like after a few years of that being your life, because to him it's like the people and the cameras are not there. It's pure normality for a person who has gone through years of that. So I don't find it far fetch that a 6'8" who's completely focused on the game, looking straight ahead is not going to notice the ball boy. Even at the end I originally thought he made eye contact with the ball boy as he threw his shirt, but he didn't. I didn't even find the Kobe one all that bad, because it was an in the heat of the moment thing. The only one that looked really dicky to me was the Manu vid. And I really like Manu.

[Replay32]

That was hilarious. Lebron was in a weird mood that whole game, especially in the 1st half.

[t-rex]

I had a friend who was a ball boy in Miami. He told me Karl Malone once threw a hot dog back at one of the Heat ball boys because it didn't have the right condiments on it.


We support and pull for thes star players, but the truth is none of us really know them. (See Tiger Woods and Ben Roethlisberger).


That video is terrible. And it's just another good reason to support my Celtics against the Cavs in the next round.


I KNOW a Celtics player would never be that rude to anyone.

[theguru]

I don't know, he seems to be doing a good job of that by himself.
Zori. News flash: you are a hater.

[Big Bang Theory]

I hope that's sarcasm.

[t-rex]

Yup! 100%. I'm not afraid to say that like most fans, I largely vote for uniforms. For example, I hated Wallace when he was in Detriot, but I pull for him now.


I am a huge fan of the "big 3!" But I am not going to pretend to know any Celtics player for a second beyond what I see on TV, or view from my seat at the game.


If fans are honest, 99% of us fit into this category.

[konex]

Bron better get Nike to confiscate the video. What a douchebag move :roll:

[magnax1]

Lol that is so childish. Take it ball boy!

[Grey Dawn]

Y'know when people called Lebron a dick on here I used to think it was just because they didn't like him, because I'd never seen him do anything that bad (I didn't think not shaking hands was a big deal).

I think I'm starting to see what people are talking about though, this guy is clearly smelling himself too much.

Jackass.

I find it a little bit suspicious that every time he throws the clothes in the opposite of the ballboy.

He threw it to the sideline, off the court.

[MMKM]

He threw it to the sideline, off the court.

This reminded me of another thing he did in the same game!!! At the end of the quarter, I think in the first half, Mo Williams got knocked flat on his ass at half court, right in front of Lebron, and Lebron just looked down at him and walked to the bench. Someone else helped him up, I think it was Antawn Jamison or something. I couldn't believe it!

Anyone else see that? How big of a douche has Lebron become?

[MMKM]

Found this on another message board. Someone else saw it too!


Re: Video: LeBron makes Bulls ballboy pick up his clothes

Postby Mad Balla 15 on Tue Apr 27, 2010 11:57 am
I think he's more of an **** when he doesn't help his teammates up when he's the closet person to them. I remember when Mo Williams fell at the end of the 1st quarter and LeBron was right beside him LeBron just walked away. The most hilarious thing was Mo was putting his hand out for LeBron to help him up but LeBron didn't care. What kinda teammate does that? The only time he'll ever help a teammate up is if they make a good play. For example if Anderson Varejao gets an and 1 and falls down, he'll help him up (sometimes too, not always). If Anderson Varejao misses the lay up and gets hit he won't help him up. I've seen this happen quite a few times.

[lolSmileyFace]

lol whatrs the big deal

[bada bing]

here is my thing on this. How old is the guy? For ****s sake he is 24 years old right? Give him a freaking break. We have 25 year olds and even 30 year olds on this forum acting like a-holes. We have middle aged men in the world out there who take their celebrity status and act like total pricks and unselfish goons. The only reason everyone is hating on him is because for some odd reason we have these players at a higher moral pedestal. Thats just stupid cuz they owe nothing to us or anyone else. Just stfu with this crap. This is just a way for the haters to hate on the guy....gives them fuel.

he's just immature.....not a big deal when you consider how a 24 year old is being treated like a freaking GOD.

He's 25, and he knows better.

People always talk about how great of a person he is, and how funny he is (which he is), and how unselfish he is, and how much he sacrifices for his teammates, and blah blah blah.

That's why this is even worthy of being a topic, do you think anyone would even look twice if MJ did this?

Everyone knows he's a jackass.

Derek Fisher said he's never even been to Kobe's house, before.

who talks? the fans and the media overhype his personality. I dont care about his personality or how nice of a person he is. i do not look upto any of these guys. I watch them for their talent on the court. He is one of the best players and when all is said he will probably be ranked in the top 10 of all time....thats why i watch....the fact that people overhype him is our fault and not his.

I didn't say it was his fault, as a matter of fact, I blame it on most of the sports media.

Of course you don't look up to him, you're probably old enough to know better, but imagine if you had a son who did.

I've never held anything against him, other than I wish the sports media would take the time to remove his phallus from their mouthes every once in a while.

I hadn't noticed the whole drama queen stunts until last year.

I still think he's one of the best in the world, just some stuff he doesn't have to do that he does.

[asdf1990]

omg hakeem warrick did the same thing to the cavs towel boy yesterday, lets make a new thread now. oh wait no1 cares cuz his a scrub. only lebron james or other superstars can get so much hate off of something everyone in the nba does.

[Story Up]

Wow, that was really bad. I can understand the first time he tried to reach out for his clothes and LeBron simply didn't see it; but the 2nd time when the guy reached out for his shirt and LeBron made sure he threw it to the crowd.

How the **** does him being a Bulls ballboy justifies LeBron's actions? It's his job, for all we know he might not even be a Bulls fan and be a huge Cleveland fan who knows; fact is he was doing his job and James was a prick to him.

I really don't like this guy; his fake personality with his limitless douche bag moves.

Myth's; Kobe didn't hang with his teammates in his first few years in the league when the kid was 17; the Lakers had a lot of veterans on the team who have families. I can totally understand Kobe not fitting in with their life style, especially since he probably wasn't even legal age to do the things they did.

ABout Fisher not ever going to Kobe's house; that's hilarious because I'm pretty sure before last playoffs Kobe brought all of his teammates for dinner at his house and I'm positive I read about Fisher's sick daughter playing with Kobe's kids at Kobe's house during a family BBQ.

My question was rhetorical, you stupid ****. My point was that I don't approve or disapprove, because what's the point? Why does everything have to be so polarized? Like how, if I don't comment on how Bron was wrong in this situation, then people automatically assume that I must think he was right? Bottom line is he threw his clothes on the ground for a ball boy to pick up and now everyone's on a moral crusade to stand up for ball boys everywhere.

Rhetorical? Take a philosophy class on human nature you dumb ass and come back to me. Key word is "I", if you're going to question my nature as a human I suggest you stop being so damn hypocritical.

Me expressing my opinion on what James did from a morality perspective is exactly what we as humans should do because those type of expressions enhance our knowledge as humans. Instead of attacking me about expressing my opinion you could have giving me your piece of mind or not made comments to begin with since you're the type of person who does not like to judge.
