In the third quarter of LeBron James' all-star flag football game Wednesday night, LeBron intercepted a pass against Kevin Durant's team and ran it back for a touchdown.
To celebrate, LeBron did a little dance and then pretended to shoot himself in the leg. Yes, the same move that Buffalo Bills receiver Steve Johnson used last Sunday after scoring a touchdown which mocked New York Jets receiver Plaxico Burress, and also got Johnson fined $10,000 by the NFL.
Since football isn't LeBron's sport, it's unlikely he will receive a fine by the NBA for his behavior, although it certainly should be acknowledged that this type of touchdown celebration is not appropriate. It's only a matter of time before kids start imitating this move because they think it's cool or funny, and that would be just plain wrong.
