| Kendrick Perkins says LeBron James needs to grow up - and Eye On Sports agrees! |
Love him or loathe him, if nothing else, LeBron James provides sports bloggers everywhere, a fun-filled day of writing!
James put himself in his critics’ crosshairs again by pissing off Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins for his foolish Twitter postings after Perkins got dunked on by Blake Griffin about a week ago.
James, like a legion of NBA fans across the globe, shared his thoughts on Griffin
"Dunk of the Year! @blakegriffin just dunked on Kendrick Perkins so hard!!! Wow! I guess I'm No. 2 now. Move over #6," James tweeted, clearly making reference to his own dunk over Chicago Bulls point guard John Lucas III just one day prior.
Now, maybe it’s the ‘old-school’ kind of guy that I am, but I agree wholeheartedly with Perkins when he said "You don't see Kobe
If you read into James’ words, you can get a lot of insight into his thought process – and he will likely never reach the superstar status that he so desperately craves.
First if all, James is clearly implying that his dunk over Lucas III the previous night was the ‘dun of the year’ in the league so far. While that may or may not have been the case, the fact that James is even concerned with the trivialities of a fictional ‘dunk of the year’ title, tells me he’s as immature and unfocused on the real task at hand as he was when he first came into the league.
In the grand scheme of the grueling trek that is an NBA regular season, what does one mostly meaningless regular season play mean?
If James is thinking about anything other than winning an NBA title these days, which he clearly is, he’s only setting himself up for more failure in the future, that likely comes in the postseason in crunch time no less.
Blown out of proportion by the blogger's part as much on perk's part. I don't think that's a sign of immaturity, not at all. Kobe doesn't tweet, cause he's an old cat. Look at KD, the man tweets incessantly, yet no one questions his attitude or his maturity. He's just mad he got dunked on plain and simple, and these days when the world is against you, all you got to do to attract attention elsewhere is to mention Lebron, that's all. A lot of NBA players tweeted about it, yet he chose Lebron. Bad enough that you're an overrated role player that just got dunked on in an awful manner, but now he's picking a fight against the leagues best player. Oh perk, Chris Webber should just punch you in the head...
