View Full Version : Spoelstra calls out LeBron in front of Teammates: "I Can't Tell When You're Serious"



Jordan-esque
11-29-2010, 03:58 PM
Although the main article has been posted before, would like to focus on the big reason for all this tension between the player(s) and the coaching staff.

ESPN's Chris Broussard (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/news/story?id=5862172)


In contrast to the popular view that Spoelstra has been hesitant to jump on Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, sources say the Heat coach has shown no fear in criticizing them.

Exhibit A was a recent shootaround in which Spoelstra told LeBron James that he had to get more serious. The source said Spoelstra called James out in front of the entire team, telling him, "I can't tell when you're serious."

"He's (Spoelstra) jumping on them," one Heat source said. "If anything, he's been too tough on them. Everybody knows LeBron is playful and likes to joke around, but Spoelstra told him in front of the whole team that he has to get more serious. The players couldn't believe it! They feel like Spoelstra's not letting them be themselves."

LeBron on how Easy playing with the Heat would be that Pat Riley can come out of Retirement and PLAY (http://www.nba.com/heat/news/on_stage_interview_wade_bosh_james_2010_07_10.html ):

"We're going to challenge each other in practice. And the way we're going to challenge each other to get better in practice. Once the game starts, I mean, it's going to be easy. I mean, with me and Dwyane Wade running a wing, Pat could come back and play like he was back in his Kentucky days. Just throw it up there, we're going to get it."

In LeBron's fantasy, he would just say "Yo Bron... CATCH!"

This nikka LeBojangles thinks practice should be nothing but dance lessons and sh1t. If he's complaining about Spoelstra now, just imagine if Riley comes down from the booth and start coaching? That probably explains why Wade is strongly supporting Riley.

I give the coach some props for speaking up. 9-8 record for a paper championship team is no joking matter considering the big targets on their backs.

Killer instinct was what seperated Carter/McGrady to Kobe. And you can clearly see that is what seperating LeBron to the greats. Get serious and hold your teamates accountable. I hate using Jordan as an example but if anyone F'ed around in practice or shoot arounds, he would of kicked their asses.

Practice effort leads to game effort.

I agree with the coach....Get SERIOUS!

Where have you been since July? Dude acted like a girl on twitter by re-posting hate mail trying to earn sympathy points. The Nike commercial? Complaining recently about how suprised he is about how many boos he recieves EVERYWHERE he goes. Kid is a whiny little girl.

Just to incite a reaction wink, wink

You didn't see Kobe crying when he was being ACCUSED and going to TRIAL for rape, and hearing lude personal comments everywhere he went in 2004, and 2005. He didn't say I'm the victim in Nike ads. He didn't post on facebook or twitter. He went out and hit GAME WINNERS as vindication.

It's all about how mentally strong one is. LeBron is not that. Go bite your nails, b i t c h

Early in their careers all three of these guys had the killer instinct and we're somewhat similar players (think 05 VC, 03 tmac, and 03 kobe) but kobe really showed up his whole career in this department while carter has had serious motivation issues (which correlate to lack of effort/confidence which leads to a lack of being clutch) and mcgrady has tapered off with injuries. It really isn't fair to say they're on the same level when both have never led a team anywhere in the playoffs and kobe has for years and is a 5 time champion.

Kobe and Dwight go to learn low post moves with Hakeem during the summer. LeBron makes a one hour ESPN special.

Even chronically lazy underachievers like Rasheed and Vince have more well rounded skillsets than LeBron.

so according to his camp, it has more to do with personality issues than actual coaching (x's and o's). i think it's possible that lebron doesn't handle criticism well and spo is bringing the heat. he's holding everybody accountable. it seems off because i don't see him taking full command of huddles but i guess he's different in practice. btw, that TBL article was real good.

Someone please tell these guys that Riley is not an easy coach to play for. He goes hard in practice and is very intense. You have a couple missed rotations, then you will have your ass handed to you in front of the world. Maybe he might have soften a little, but not enough for these divas liking.

Spo might be getting some neg press right now, but Riley will make these dudes cry if he has to come to the sidelines.

Wrong. Kobe was so afraid he snitched on Shaq. Both Kobe and Lebron are *******, the only difference is, Stern got Kobe's back.

In the police interview? yea ... and it was an off handed comment. LOL @ people calling it snitching. He wasn't trying to get someone in trouble. Those police interviews aren't even supposed to see the light of day. It was leaked because of his celebrity.

No, Kobe is clearly a really mentally tough person. To go what he went through in a three year stretch, and have the balls to show up on the court and perform, at a high level no less?

That takes heart, my dude.

He made basketball his sanctuary and took his aggressions out on the game it self.

LeBron ... he whines and posts on twitter.

LOL @ "Stern having Kobe's back" and not LeBrons. If one were to believe such an asinine conspiracy, it would be the total opposite.

Mentally tough my ass. I give Kobe his props but that's where it stops. Even if he didn't mean to do any harm, he still opened his mouth when he shouldn't have. Speaking on another mans personal situation like that is a no-no. IDK...but that's snitching to me. Just because it was supposed to be private means nothing. Not that it matters now but still....

What does that have to deal with the extreme mental toughness it takes to play through the off court situation he was handling?

I don't consider that snitching. He didn't announce it to the world. He made an off handed remark, in a highly stressful interview with police, who are insinuating he raped a young female.

You don't see how someone could slip up and say something they may regret in a situation like that? He said "I should pay my woman like Shaq does" ... if you read the actual interview, police were trying to sound casual as hell with him. He said something he shouldn't have ... or not got as specific as he did. But it sure as hell isn't snitching. Kobe didn't say ... hey, Shaq is doing something illegal, go arrest him. He wasn't saying what he said to break up Shaq's marriage.

The only reason Shaq found out was because the interview was leaked to the public via the smoking gun.

You saw what happened to Tiger Woods? Wilted under his off the court issues.

Kobe played well through out his extreme off the court issues. Dude was possibly facing a life in prison while going out there and hitting game winners on the Nuggets, hearing vicious personal comments every stadium he went to ...

You kidding me? Bryant is the definition of mental toughness as it pertains to basketball. That's why he's a killer. Thats why he will continue to shoot even when he's missing, cause he knows it will eventually fall. It's that same mental toughness that allows someone to go out and score 81, etc.

Holy shit you love Kobe huh? Bruh it's not that serious. He's a tough guy. I get that. I understand and, for the most part, agree with that. However, in my book, his comment about Shaq was snitching. It has nothing to do with shit being illegal or whatever. Whether you meant harm or not, you are unnecessarily exposing someone elses dirt. I used to do that shit frequently as a kid and cats would call me a snitch. I'm not talking about some crazy illegal shit lol but still. I would deny it all day until I realized one thing...that info wasn't supposed to come out and I knew it.

Once again, it doesn't matter what your intentions are. He knew that shit wasn't supposed to get out and said it anyway. You can miss me with that "highly stressful" interview BS. I supported Kobe through that whole thing but please...IMO you can't use the stress it caused as an excuse to mention something about another mans personal life. That shit had NOTHING to do with him!

It's pretty easy to play ball when you have off-court situations. The court is the only place you can really get away from it.

Yeah, it really takes extreme mental toughness to play through a situation in which YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG. Something that you or I would be IN JAIL for, and rightfully so. GTFO of here with that BS. Kobe was possibly facing life in prison BECAUSE HE COMMITTED A CRIME. Get it? Do you feel sorry for everyone else in this world who commit crimes and have to balance their day to day lives with court appearances? Do you consider all of them mentally tough as well? Like the old saying goes: "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time". The people who are the victims of violent crimes are the ones who are mentally tough. They're the ones who have to suffer the emotional stress of having to incorporate court appearances into their lives.

And if you can't see how what Kobe said was snitching on Shaq, then I don't know what to tell you. He tried to deflect attention from himself by bringing up something he had no business speaking on.

Ever since Lebron's "decision" this guy Samarai Swoosh has been non stop swinging from Kobe's d*ck. It's rather pathetic. He tries to defend Kobe for DOING SOMETHING WRONG, when the worst Lebron's done is sign with another team when his contract was up. Yes, Lebron was a little whiny b*tch on twitter, but that's a lack of maturity. Raping a woman? That says a lot more about your mental state than just immaturity.

Having been a high school teacher and a young high school teacher, I can sympathize with what Spoelstra is going through. He needs to demonstrate that he has authority-- even over the "coolest" kids or he'll get walked on. At the same time, he has to worry whether his presence itself has enough stature that those kids-- and the ones that look up to them-- will accept his assertion of authority and respect him for it.

Ever since Lebron's "decision" this guy Samarai Swoosh has been non stop swinging from Kobe's d*ck. It's rather pathetic. He tries to defend Kobe for DOING SOMETHING WRONG, when the worst Lebron's done is sign with another team when his contract was up. Yes, Lebron was a little whiny b*tch on twitter, but that's a lack of maturity. Raping a woman? That says a lot more about your mental state than just immaturity.

@ SoCalMike, this guy Samarai Swoosh, a Kobe n*thugger, brought up Colorado. And no, it doesn't pertain to this discussion.





Im sorry but this kid is literally the most out of touch with reality child we have around these parts. This post is so utterly riddled with shit that a teenager would spout off, with little to no life experience, that I dont even KNOW where to start.


Does ANYONE take this fu*king fat kid's opinion seriously anymore? This kid is the limp d*ck in a porno. Just useless shit here.


This god damn post is so ridiculous, thats its incredible. :oldlol:

oh the horror
11-30-2010, 04:06 AM
And im going to say this right now for you little kids to get. I dont know HOW many of you have ever been involved in, or actually been ON TRIAL for something....especially in the case of Kobe, where it was a fu*king RAPE TRIAL.....



Do you fu*king sniveling little shits even know how mentally taxing the process is in general? Christ, you come home, EXAUSTED from being in the courtroom all day, dealing with legal jargon, lawyers, prosecution trying to toss your ass behind bars, and trying to prove your innocence.



Now you can speculate if Kobe was "guilty or not"....but the reality is, he had to try to sit there, prove his case with lawyers, partake in this legal process.

IT IS.....MENTALLY, FU*KING BEYOND EXAUSTING.



I hope to god none of you kids EVER had to deal with that....AND THEN....as an professional athlete, he had to go from trials, to play in highly intense games? AND YOU DONT NEED MENTAL TOUGHNESS? ARE YA KIDDING ME?


This isnt a pickup game at the park. This is an NBA basketball game, in the PLAYOFFS no less. This man gets paid millions to come out and perform to the highest, very top of his abilities, also dealing with the weight of the entire outcome of a fu*king trial on his mind. What are some of you even smoking?



Jesus christ, who the hell posts here?? :oldlol:



I have NO issues if you do not like Bryant, but lets KEEP IT REAL HERE KIDS. Really. And before you go into that lame ass argument of "you're a Kobe stan" or some random wack shit to try and defend yourself....get off it, I could care less about Bryant at the end of the day. But REAL TALK, IS REAL TALK. Kobe may have whined throughout his career, and said some stupid shit, but the dude is not that weak mentally. I WILL give him that much.


Some of you are far gone from the realities of the world outside of your bedroom, with the NBA live playstation game.

Yeah, it really takes extreme mental toughness to play through a situation in which YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG. Something that you or I would be IN JAIL for, and rightfully so. GTFO of here with that BS. Kobe was possibly facing life in prison BECAUSE HE COMMITTED A CRIME. .



I had to quote this again just based on how fu*king stupid and nerdy this kid must be in real life.


Let me tell you something junior...I had a buddy a year or so ago....sleep with this one broad....and you know what she did? SHE ACCUSED HIM OF RAPE, BECAUSE SHE DIDNT WANT TO FACE UP TO THE FACT THAT SHE CHEATED ON HER MAN.


Luckily it didnt get to the point of legal actions being taken, but do you, in your small little pr*ck world even know how OFTEN men get accused of rape?


The fact is...YOU DONT KNOW WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT...that Kobe commited ANY crime, other than cheating on his spouse. THATS ALL WE KNOW HERE.


Its a damn shame man...little fools like this running around, burying their brothers out there, when b*tches are known to accuse them falsely of rape. You get little fu*kers like this already ready to lynch a man, over pure speculation. You dont know shit. Stop talking fool, stop posting from here on out.

Like I said though, you dont even have to like Kobe...Hell, I think Kobe IS a diva himself. But the fact remains, it DOES take an amount of mental toughness to pick yourself up, after being on trial for RAPE of all things, and go out there, and do your job, without wanting to hang yourself.

Alot of things sounded shady man. I mean the girl's own people admitted to overhearing her bragging about it? The reality of it was....the lawyers on her side, PROBABLY knew of the evidense coming out, and told her "look honey, if he offers you a plea, i suggest you take it"


She would have lost the trial bro. They couldnt prove without a shadow of a doubt, that Kobe raped her. Rape trials are hard to prove ANYWAY.....But given the shit that was coming out, and the stories surrounding this broad? She had NO chance.



Frankly I dont buy that he raped her at all. Ive seen my own buddy go through it, and heard countless times about dudes from around the way being shitted on by women like that.



And dont get me wrong...if HE DID rape her...its unfortunate that she couldnt nail him....but im just not buying it. Women are SCANDELOUS. And as a man, if some broad ever accuses you of such? You'd be get on your knees and pray, because its HARD.


I just remember how deathly afraid my buddy was if some type of legal action was to be taken...he was like completely destroyed, because he KNEW how they can sock it to men in court over things like this, and he didnt even want to deal with legal processes. It SUUUUCKS.

you don't know how hard it is for a woman to go out and file a rape case. society is harder on women than on men. women are usually blamed, being told they brought it on themselves for being a whore or a slut. women also experience more social stigma. once you come out and say you are raped, you are seen as damaged good. some women who are raped would rather endure the silence than come out and file a case for the sheer shame it would bring her and her family.
and yet in rape cases, the onus is on the woman to prove the guilt of the accused. the burden is on the woman to prove the guilt while all the accused has to do is establish a slight reasonable doubt in the mind/s of the judge or the jurors.
now idk the facts of the case, but what i do know was there was a settlement. now if i was kobe and i was innocent, wtf would i settle for? i'd never allow that kind of shit to be hanging over my head my entire life. i'd rather see the end and clear my name than settle if i knew i can prove my innocence.
in cases where the defendant is filthy rich but is guilty and the plaintiff is poor and cannot pursue the case without being beggared, lawyers go the settlement route. the plaintiff is advised to just take the cash and have something to go on rather than pursue the case which may take years and which has no sure outcome.
i'm sure the woman was told that even if they did win, chances of kobe serving the full term would be nil. he'd get preferential treatment, get out early, and it'd be just like he served community service. maybe even less.

Holy shit you love Kobe huh? Bruh it's not that serious. He's a tough guy. I get that. I understand and, for the most part, agree with that. However, in my book, his comment about Shaq was snitching. It has nothing to do with shit being illegal or whatever. Whether you meant harm or not, you are unnecessarily exposing someone elses dirt. I used to do that shit frequently as a kid and cats would call me a snitch. I'm not talking about some crazy illegal shit lol but still. I would deny it all day until I realized one thing...that info wasn't supposed to come out and I knew it.

Once again, it doesn't matter what your intentions are. He knew that shit wasn't supposed to get out and said it anyway. You can miss me with that "highly stressful" interview BS. I supported Kobe through that whole thing but please...IMO you can't use the stress it caused as an excuse to mention something about another mans personal life. That shit had NOTHING to do with him!

Do you feel sorry for everyone else in this world who commit crimes and have to balance their day to day lives with court appearances? Do you consider all of them mentally tough as well?

All anyone really should need to know about the rape case was that both sides had essentially the same story at the beginning, but she changed her story after she was told it didn't constitute rape. I mean, they tried to charge him for kidnapping because blocked a doorway and told her to calm down. Besides that, just the stuff on her side, the stuff the prosecution leaked, made no sense logically, and you can only use the "well rape victims can act strangely" excuse to cover so much of it.

The whole "snitching" thing is blown way out of proportion considering it was something said during an informal conversation that wasn't part of the investigation and wasn't added to the report till months later. Considering Shaq has talked about other peoples personal lives in interviews with the media, something said to the police in a private conversation isn't that bad, particularly when you consider he was still thinking he'd just pay his way out.

I wasn't speaking of the literal act of crying. Kobe being justified in shedding tears over his public humiliation and a public apology to his wife, fans, organization, etc.

LeBron James "crying" in the sense of a spoiled rich teenage white girl who isn't having things go his way or the way he envisioned

I picture LeBron being one of those spoiled, dumb white chicks on MTV's "Sweet Sixteen" show where rich parents throw elaborate parties for their children, and somehow the spoiled brats always find something to complain, b itch, and moan about ...

Thus LeBron being the spoiled, whiny, crying little girl.

My man...you sound like a kid. An immature one at that. If you think questioning the business ethics/legality of a sports team owner and Kobe mentioning what Shaq does in his personal life is comparable, then I don't know what to tell you.

Go show me an instance where a "annoying,whiny,bitchy, starbucks drinking Seattle resident" put the owners business out there in an uncessary manner. All of that was necessary as it pertained directly to the city and situation at hand. Something you know obviously know nothing about. What Shaq did in his personal time had nothing to do with Kobes alleged rape allegations. Maybe you are too young to understand this?

Killer instinct was what seperated Carter/McGrady to Kobe. And you can clearly see that is what seperating LeBron to the greats. Get serious and hold your teamates accountable. I hate using Jordan as an example but if anyone F'ed around in practice or shoot arounds, he would of kicked their asses.

Okay what some of you guys are saying is just pathetic. You don't know what happened with Kobe that night, because you weren't there. You are innocent until proven guilty. Kobe was proven innocent therefore you can't assume he did it. If he did, the fact that he did rape her would kill him more inside than the fact that he might be guilty. Is that mental toughness? Yes. But mental toughness in life and mental toughness in games are completely different things.

I can't believe you guys are comparing possibly spending your life in prison with wife and kids left behind to a 5v5 basketball game.

Being black certainly puts you at a further disadvantage, but from a sociological perspective, in rape cases, a woman thought to be innocent and or delicate flowers always tend to have their stance on a story believed more so when it comes to the issue of rape.

I could have cared less about the white suburban part ... that was a non-issue as far as I'm concerned. How are you going to sit there and tell me what I meant? lol ... I was agreeing with the fact that you don't know what 'snitching' means, you clearly didn't understand the context in which Bryant mentioned Shaq's personal life, and you also can't grasp how in basketball terms Kobe Bryant is a pillar of what mental toughness if all about.

I've followed Kobe since dude was drafted so you miss me with that other stuff. I know he's mentally tough on the court. Anyone can see that. However, that off the court shit with Shaq is a no-no in my book. I already told you why. If you don't agree, fine. But, I can't imagine that there's a context for mentioning something like that that automatically makes it appropriate. To this day, I haven't had one person tell me "He could have been saying it like this!". Nah, he opened his mouth about some shit that was obviously supposed to be kept confidential. Unless he was talking to himself or mentioning something under his breath, he doesn't get a pass by me.

about the comment....cool you don't think that. I thought you did. No big deal. I'm just saying...that's my definition of snitching. I don't know what else to tell you.
