The Los Angeles Lakers superstar pulled off the classic Sam Cassell ‘Big Balls’ celebration against the Indiana Pacers that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-fined-15000-by-nba-for-obscene-sam-cassell-celebration/">drew him a $15,000 fine.</a></p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">LEBRON. with a little Sam Cassell and HMD cele on top. <a href="https://t.co/YlxAyZo0sG" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/YlxAyZo0sG</a></p><p>— Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) <a href="https://twitter.com/WorldWideWob/status/1463698434821480450?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 25, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>But apparently, it’s not just league officials who took notice of LeBron James’ dance moves—so did Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The Lakers icon, who <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtFZVcraI34">started a news feature</a> on his own Substack, called out LeBron for his ‘stupid, childish dance’ against the Pacers.</p><blockquote>“Last week LeBron was fined $15,000 for doing a ‘Big Balls’ dance after the Lakers win.. For me, winning is enough. Why do you need to do a stupid, childish dance and disrespect the other team on the court. It doesn’t make sense. Goats don’t dance.”</blockquote><p>While the GOAT’s don’t dance comment seemed to be said in jest, as Kareem flashed an image of actual goats, his disapproval of the move from King James seemed very real.</p><p>The hits certainly keep coming for the Lakers star these past few weeks, as he’s also dealt with the Isaiah Stewart kerfuffle as well as the Enes Kanter callouts as of late.</p><p>The on-court affairs haven’t been too much better, either. The Lakers stand at an even 12-12 record after taking an L against their crosstown rival Los Angeles Clippers. It’s been a rough first quarter for LeBron James, but there’s still a lot of time to turn things around.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While the Lakers’ current star, LeBron James, has indeed been vaccinated, he hasn’t been as vocal in campaigning for it as the Hall-of-Fame center.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">LeBron said he was skeptical of the vaccine at first, but after doing research, he decided to do it "for my family and my friends."

The Lakers center responded in a roundabout way, saying that LeBron’s actions, which in this scenario means getting himself and his family vaccinated, speak volumes.</p><blockquote>“He doesn’t speak as a spokesperson for getting vaccinated, but he is speaking as a parent and a father and someone who has to care for his family,” said the Lakers legend on LeBron. “In that context, he got vaccinated and got his family vaccinated. So there’s a lot of ways to skin this cat. But you have to get the message across.”</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on LeBron James refusing to publicly advocate for the Covid-19 vaccine: "He doesn't speak as a spokesperson for getting vaccinated, but he is speaking as a parent and a father." <a href="https://t.co/1NOyOgvXMw" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/1NOyOgvXMw</a></p><p>— Vincent Goodwill (@VinceGoodwill) <a href="https://twitter.com/VinceGoodwill/status/1443936956518387713?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">October 1, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>The COVID-19 pandemic continues to hover over the NBA.
