When LeBron James hit a dagger three-point shot in the LA Lakers' 124-116 overtime win over the Indiana Pacers back on November 24th, he did the "big balls" dance celebration. However, Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was not a fan of that as he criticized James for doing it.

In the very first episode of Kareem's Substack commentary on his YouTube channel, the six-time NBA champion called out LeBron for busting out the infamous "big balls" celebration. Abdul-Jabbar called it "stupid" and "childish" as he noted that winning is enough and respect for opponents should be given.

"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. G.O.A.T.S. don't dance," Abdul-Jabbar said.

Kareem's comments on LeBron James we're both critical and lauding. On one hand, he called out LeBron for being disrespectful and acting like a child for dancing. He also named him one of the greatest of all-time players, a compliment from a player who is also in the G.O.A.T. conversation.

For his "big balls" dance celebration, James was fined by the NBA $15,000. The league has banned the move since the 2010-11 season. The celebration was made famous or infamous by Sam Cassell, who used it whenever he made a big shot during his career.
