Wiz's Haywood says LeBron should stop complaining about rough play
Overrated hasn't worked. Now one of the Washington Wizards is calling LeBron James another name: Crybaby.
Following Cleveland's 100-97 win in Game 4 on Sunday, James, who has absorbed two flagrant fouls in this rough-and-tumble playoff series and has been banged around by the Wizards, was asked about Washington's tough-guy tactics.
"I guess that's what they want to do," he said, "hurt LeBron James in this series. It's not working."
On Monday, Wizards center Brendan Haywood, countered.
"Awww," Haywood said, in a whiny, high-pitched voice to mock James. "They are trying to hurt me. He wears 23, he wants to be Michael Jordan, I can respect that, he's a great player. You saw what Mike went through. Mike got fouled way worse than this. No one is trying to hurt him, everybody is trying to play basketball, trying to play tough. Play basketball and leave it alone."
