Compared to several controversial athletes in the league, one could say that LeBron James is the least likely to cause disputes. However, when you are an established athlete with millions of fans trouble eventually finds its way to you. The 4x NBA champion recently found himself under the spotlight when a controversial NBA veteran shared a tweet addressed to him. Days later, the ex-NBA star surfaced with yet another Twitter post that served as a ‘warning’ to the league but the tweet only ended up getting dismissed by fans.
While Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James mostly prefers to stay away from trouble, he has had his fair share of feuds nevertheless. Less than a month ago, a particular basketball star targeted LeBron James for his ties with China. While the new scoring leader was basking in the compliments showered by the NBA world, the former NBA athlete took a jab at LeBron with his not-so-cryptic post.?

Shortly after receiving the award for Most Valuable Patriot in November 2022, Freedom revealed his decision to sue the NBA for allegedly blackballing him from the league.?During the 2021-22 season, ‘Big Man’ Freedom played in no more than 35 games for the Celtics. He was then traded to the Houston Rockets who waived him after a brief period of time.
The 30-year-old center recently shared another post on his Twitter handle with a caption that instantly snagged fans’ attention. The short clip showed Freedom doing the bicep curls exercise and his caption read, “Lawsuit Loading…#NBA”
NBA fans bashes Freedom due to his cryptic post
Fans are well aware of the meaning behind Freedom’s caption. However, the former Boston Celtics star failed to gain support from the majority of the fans and instead ended up getting brutally trolled by them. One fan compared his situation to that of controversial NFL veteran Colin Kaepernick and wrote, “If Colin Kaepernick couldn?t win a lawsuit you have no chance.”

Yeah! I’m going to sue them too! All of us that are being black listed from the league, simply because we can’t ball, need to come together!
