LeBron lights dance fever
The Rockets' Chuck Hayes agreed with Bulls center Joakim Noah's complaints that LeBron James' on-court dancing exhibition last week was inappropriate. He also had an idea about how to handle it.
“Yeah (it was wrong), but if Joakim Noah and the Bulls have a problem with it, beat him, he won't dance,” Hayes said. “I notice that the Cavs, they do all their sideline acts in the game when they're up big. When it's a close game, they don't do that. Make them respect you and they won't do it.
“To showboat another professional, it's disrespectful. If you feel disrespected, do something about it within the game, nothing dirty. Eventually, all the dancing and acting will stop. They only do it when they're up big.”
Shane Battier, however, had another theory about why James danced.
“Dancing With The Stars is quite the platform to launch a career,” Battier said. “Maybe, he's trying to launch a career. LeBron's a smart businessman. I wouldn't put anything past him.”
No good options
Shane Battier would reveal few secrets, but said the strategy against LeBron James is very different than against Kobe Bryant and other top scorers.
“You can't really pressure him,” Battier said. “He's too strong and he goes by you and he's at the rim. You do the opposite and be a little more passive against him.
“He's the best transition player in the NBA. Once he gets in the open court, there's nothing you can do. You can't take charges on him. He's so quick, he can go around you or jump over you. You want to make it a halfcourt game and once you do that, you want to compact the lane as much as possible, and see if he can make a few jumpers.”
Actually, Battier did draw a charge on James last season, forcing James to the bench with his fourth foul.
“I think it was the first one in my career,” Battier said.
That was not why he had no trouble remembering it.
“Yeah, I still hurt from it,” Battier said.

Go Cavs!
Cant wait to see Shaq guard Brooks on the PnR.
I can't wait for the refs to give Cubby some love & Double some grief.
tee, hee.
Well you can go yourself because win or loss I'll be in this high as the sky unlike you who disappears after losses...I never run. Basically, you better have your together tonight cause it's going down.
that battier+artest combo on lebron last year was amazing
Ariza played Lebron pretty good last year too though. Nice few strips of Lebron even on his unstoppable fastbreaks.
i remember kobe guarding him not ariza at home
anyone have footage of lebron dancing last night?
grizz got their luckiest win of the season.
The Cavaliers are fools gold. We kicked your ass and Shaq needs to be called the "Big Ass" just because everyone kicks it so badly. You know you suck when I allow Mike Conley to take the final shot against you. I am sure LeCrab ain't shaking my hand or dancing like a after that.
