Joakim Noah and LeBron James's beef goes a ways back. They've been meeting in the playoffs since LeBron's first stint with the Cavaliers, then had a few epic matchups when 'Bron was in Miami, and Noah has never attempt to hide his disdain for the man, whether he's wearing no. 23 or 6. 

So when the Cavs and Bulls met on Sunday in Cleveland, in what felt very much like a playoff atmosphere, Noah had some words for The King after James was called for a travel and wouldn't give the ball to Noah so he could take it out of bounds. Noah barked at James for a while, then was caught by ABC's cameras mouthing out the word "pussy" in James's direction, despite the fact that the Bulls were down on the scoreboard, and despite the fact that James dunked all over Noah's life earlier in the game. 

Though the Bulls lost, reports coming out of the their locker room sound like Noah is hoping for another shot at the Cavs in the playoffs. Maybe then Noah can make up for getting posterized. 

Be careful what you wish for, Joakim.
