Arenas visits the Philipinnes, gets God-like reception

The only thing that video showed me is how much of a jerk Lebron is. I forgot about that time he said something to Gilbert on the line. Is that even allowed? Touching and talking to the opposing player on the line? I thought it was a technical foul? It made a lot of people (including the commentators) pretty angry when he did that. Very unsportsmanlike and classless. After touching Gil and saying "if you miss this, the game is over", he stepped aside and made a choking motion and said something profane about Arenas to the Cleveland crowd, then bragged about "trash talking" him into a miss after the game.

Is that seriously a foul? Everyone has done it...just watch the mouths of the guys behind the guy shooting the free throw. Jordan has done it, Bird did it, Kobe has done it...I don't think anyone hasn't done it at some point. I know the Washington fans love to bash LeBron, but let's not think that he's the only one that has ever done this. Most are usually more discreet, but I'd bet any amount of money Arenas has done something similar at some point too.

Although, I don't remember the "touching" part. What did he do? Was it while he had the ball at the line????

ps- if talking to arenas is all it takes from him to miss free throws, then he doesn't belong on the line during crunch time.
