Such was shown when Jefferson laconically said, “Playing with LeBron sucks because you’re trying to win a championship.” Adding more context to his remarks, he added, “He is one of the most competitive human beings in the history of American sports and sports in general.”
Describing LeBron’s insane work ethic explained how teammates would show up to practice and find the superstar already hard at work. Jefferson revealed, “Does it suck when you’re showing up, and he’s already been practicing for four hours and you’re like ‘Oh s—?'” adding, “When he’s watching film and you mess up a play, and he’s just like, ‘Motherf—–, what are you doing?’”
Comparing the star player to other basketball greats, Jefferson explained that some of these issues stem from greatness. He declared, “And it’s like, ‘Yeah, those are the cons.’ But there were cons for playing with (Michael) Jordan. There were cons for playing with Kobe (Bryant). There were cons playing with players that were so great that they demanded excellence.”
In another profanity-filled excerpt, he described how LeBron can be slow to respect his peers. The former teammate said, “Bron, I don’t think I ever truly respected you on the basketball court. I think his respect for you as a human being as a person, that’s where he f—king rides with you.”
Explaining how this can strain relationships, he stated, “If he doesn’t f**k with you as a human being, then it’s kind of okay, ‘We’re just teammates. You never get a moment of acceptance from Bron. He looks at you like you did your job.” Wrapping up his remarks, he added, “So I respect the fact that I can trust you to do your job. If Bron can trust you to do your job, he will f**k with you till the end of the day.”
As we reported, despite his evident skill, LeBron James has been mired in controversy. Just a few months ago, James was roasted by social media users for an obvious flop when the Lakers played the Boston Celtics on Saturday, March 8th.
Reacting to an egregious fake reaction, one user noted, ‘Don’t ever compare this man to Jordan again,” referring to Michael Jordan, the six-time NBA Champion widely regarded as the greatest player of all time.” Building on this point, another added, “This is why I could never put him above MJ or Kobe,” referring to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, the late great player with his own five NBA Championships.
