After getting fined $15,000 for a 'Big Balls' dance, LeBron James has received some mixed reactions for his celebration. One of the greatest NBA players Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had his own choice of words for this situation.

The celebration, which was made famous by former NBA player Sam Cassell, did not sit well with Lakers legend Abdul-Jabbar. In a video made for his Substack, the Hall of Famer slammed James for his antics.

“For me, winning is enough,” Abdul-Jabbar said. “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.”

This is not the first time this season that Abdul-Jabbar has gone at James. Back in October, he also criticized James for his stance on the COVID-19 vaccine. The 74-year-old has not been shy about attacking NBA stars for their views on the vaccine.
