Fair Or Foul: Dwayne Wade And LeBron James Troll Cam Newton
by James Dator on Dec 28, 2011 10:32 PM EST
In 1992 Gatorade ran the all too famous "Be like Mike" ad. On Wednesday night in Charlotte the stars of the Miami Heat, Dwayne Wade and LeBron James decided they'd rather be like Cam, who was again sitting with Charlotte Bobcats' owner Michael Jordan.
In a game surprisingly dominated by Charlotte for much of the game the Heat inevitably fought back, and with mere seconds remaining Wade hit what resulted in being the game winning shot. Instead of taunting the Bobcats, or cheering with his teammates he turned to where Newton was sitting, and well... a picture says a thousand words

Yes, that's Wade mocking Cam's now signature 'Superman' celebration. It doesn't show it in this photo, but LeBron James was at Wade's wing doing it too. Now Wade and the Heat are playing it off as 'good fun', as one would expect, and really I don't care a whole bunch. I kind of think it's pathetic to mimic someone from a different sport, but hey I know it's not the NBA in 1990 anymore; the legendary caliber of trash talking has denigrated into making fun of cancer patients in the case of Kevin Garnett, or in Wade's case mimicking Newton. Some view this as a badge of honor, after all, how long has it been since someone like Newton got this kind of transcendent national attention?
-
They lost to the Mavericks whose best player is a German...fuck them.
-
Lebron James does it too. Btw, Cam was sitting with Michael Jordan.

I really don't see a problem with this because obviously Newton was in their head too. I mean hell, Wade couldn't even trash talk his opponent, he had to turn to Newton; so yeah Newton was in their head. I do however think this was all in good banter.
-
I think it's funny. It wasn't that classless of a taunt.
I remember after the LSU game last year, Lebron tweeted about how awesome Cam was. If I had to make a guess, I'd guess that Wade and Lebron have made friends with Cam over the past year and a half.

This. I love that a rookie is getting this kind of attention and what I think is actually props, from veteran AllStar players like Wade and James.

After watching the video and Cam's reaction (laughing), I believe it was done in jest between friends.
But I still hate the heat.

Never saw a video with Cam in it but yeah some of you white folks need to chill the fuck out. This is just how thugs communicate.

Don't see Cam or Jordan in the video.
I could go either way with it, but the majority of the blogs I've read think it was a taunt.

The majority of blogs are done by white people who are dumbasses.

A blogger would definitely know.

A taunt? Mcnurra please. D. Wade and Lebron were showing Cam that they think he's cool beans...immitation is the highest form of flattery. Plus, they're probably friends. Ballaz recognize Ballaz.

What got missed in it to me was that it was an awful shot that won it. He just happened to miss it perfectly. No player purposely banks it from that distance. He got lucky. And yes, fuck da heat.

You can see him in Prowler's video laughing and clapping after they do it. You have to pause it.
Also, they were showing it all over Sportscenter last night, freezing it and showing Cam's reaction.
-
I'm not saying one way or another, but I'm just sayin': In that Next interview that came out the same day (on the video), he was talking about how it pisses him off when other people do the Superman thing.
Is it possible LeBron & Wade saw that?
It was directed at an opposing fan. Someone from Charlotte. Just sayin'.

Cam laughed about it. SportsCenter last night had a view of Cam and he and some other people sitting around him loved it...
