The Los Angeles Lakers, among the top contenders for the 2023 NBA Championship, owe much of their optimism to LeBron James, despite him being the NBA’s oldest player at 38. James firmly believes that his team has a real shot at dethroning the reigning champion Denver Nuggets.
On a recent Sunday, LeBron James took to social media to decode a comment made by a prominent NFL player, which referenced him on the football field. Notably, ‘The King’ also shared a lighthearted moment with Anthony Davis and Stephen Curry, sparking discussions about Team USA.
Mario Chalmers, a former teammate from James’ Miami Heat days, recently offered insights into why he thinks Paul Pierce, a Top 75 all-time player, harbors a dislike for LeBron James. According to Chalmers, there seems to be “something personal” in the ongoing comparisons between the two small forwards, and Pierce appears to hold onto this resentment over the years.
One commenter reacted to Chalmers’ surprising revelation by suggesting, “He’s just mad Kyrie destroyed him in the playoffs.”
Chalmers is set to launch a podcast soon and is renowned for his clutch performances during his tenure with the Miami Heat. Over his NBA career, he averaged 8.9 points, 3.7 assists, and 2.5 rebounds per game.
Notably, Paul Pierce recently commented on LeBron James, asserting that he believes he has surpassed Michael Jordan as the NBA’s Greatest of All-Time (GOAT).
