Care to press your luck at the foul line?

Lebron is really trying his best to suck the character out of the nba

Same thing happened in Utah, some fan distracted lebron, week or so later he's asked not to bring his props

Silver has really ceded too much power to Lebron whose passive aggressiveness is getting out of hand, I sort of miss Stern tbh

Honestly, I have mixed feelings about this. One the one hand, it really shouldn't matter to professional players. I doubt that Mr.Whammy has as much of an effect as he thinks. On the other hand, letting a fan leave his seat to heckle opposing free throw shooters strikes me as a bad precedent. Fans have been waving their hands and stuff for decades, but allowing something contrived like this rubs me the wrong way.

I don't know anything about Mr Whammy does other than the gif on that article, which looks pretty tame. But from what you say, it sound alike it might more elaborate than what is shown there.

All I know is that in a league where home arenas hand out free props to all the fans in the sections behind the opposing team's basket, it seems pretty shady to kick a fan out of a game for using his own. They are going to have to stop those logo-banger promotions if that's the stance they are going to take.

Nike attempted to make Mr. Whammy disappear but realized there were too many potential witnesses.

As if I needed another reason to call Lebron a punk/mentally weak.

Guy's been doing it for two decades. I'm not sure if bad precedent is the best way to describe it.

He says that he has been a season ticket holder for twenty years. Has he been doing this routine for twenty years? I doubt it. The team has played in this arena for only a short time, and I don't ever remember hearing about this guy in New Jersey.

Anyway, that's beside the point. Someone complained. The league has to decide whether to do something about it. That's the precedent. Frankly, I suspect that the people who are happiest about this are the other people who sat in his section.

Every time I start thinking he's not a douche, he does something like this. He just can't seem to help himself. He's one of the two or three most athletically gifted players in league history and yet, he always seems to feel sorry for himself in some way. He's a professional victim.

Wait until he hits his mid-30s.

I think it's just the sign of the times. We don't produce as many mentally strong men like we used to. Plus, you have to take into consideration that bron did not have a father figure in the house, so he was never even taught how to be a man from a young age. Can you imagine what Kareem & Magic had to hear at the free throw line in boston garden? Or better yet, what Bill Russel had to hear during the civil rights movement? These players today aren't cut from that same cloth and have no clue what it means to be strong and tough.

Grow some backbone, son.
