Lebron Says If People Keep Comparing His PreGame Dunks To The Dunk Contest He'll Just Stop Doing Them

 MIAMI — LeBron James may consider grounding his popular dunking warm-up routine before Miami Heat games if the criticism keeps coming his way. The league’s reigning three-time MVP said Tuesday he never intended for his acrobatic dunking display in the Heat’s layup line to become a potential distraction that apparently has given some critics a chance to slam him.James has been executing contest-worthy dunks during warm-ups, but has been unwilling throughout his career to participate in the league’s dunk contest during All-Star Weekend despite pressure from fans and former players. “Maybe I should stop because it’s making a lot of people mad about what I do,” James said after he scored a season-high 40 points and had a career-high 16 assists in Tuesday’s double-overtime win against Sacramento. “They’re like, ‘Well, if you can do it in warm-ups, why don’t you [want to] be in the dunk contest?’ Stop it.’ “

Classic Lebron. Shows off because he wants attention and when that attention turns slightly negative he threatens to stop doing it all together. Guy can talk with the best of them, I’ll give him that. Whether it be leading everyone on that he might do the Dunk Contest next year or him saying he runs a 4.6 40 with zero proof of him running a 4.6 40, he loves talking about himself. Just hates putting his money where his mouth is.

It’s because he’s still basically a child. Never been anything but coddled his entire life so there’s never been a need to grow up. He’s still that little punk on the playground saying he can do all this magnificent shit then clamming up when you say, “OK then prove it.”

And don’t get me wrong, he’d win the dunk contest in a landslide and I don’t doubt he can run a 4.6 40. He’s a freak. It’s just that when push comes to shove he’s still a pussy so we’ll never know for sure.
