LeBron James is no stranger to disrespect. In his 20-year career in the NBA, The King has not given his haters a day to celebrate by simply dominating the league. He also accumulated four championships in the process. However, The King recently faced flak from a highly uncanny entity. LaMelo Ball‘s self-assured teammate has recently called out James’ credibility in a Twitter exchange. It has sent the NBA world into a frenzy.

The Charlotte Hornets have witnessed a series of shocking events over the past few days. The LaMelo Ball-led franchise has dealt with a civil war erupting in the most horrifying manner due to their 22-year-old starlet. However, the ruckus that their youngster has created has now expanded across the league. After taking digs at his own teammates, the Hornets star has brought LeBron James into the conversation.

LaMelo Ball’s teammate fires shots at LeBron James

The Charlotte Hornets have found themselves in a heap of trouble lately. Their 22-year-old starlet Kai Jones has created an unprecedented furore for the franchise with his actions on social media. After berating his own teammates’ games, the self-assured star has now taken digs at The Los Angeles Lakers forward, LeBron James.

Kai Jones has put out some bold statements in the past few days, proclaiming himself better than a lot of his own teammates, including LaMelo Ball. However, the 22-year-old now seems to believe he is better than the all-time leading scorer in the NBA, LeBron James. His response to a question asking him who would win in a 1v1 between him and Bron will blow your mind.

In just two words, Jones has stated that he would beat The King in a 1v1 matchup. This shocking disrespect comes in the wake of several such self-assured claims in the past few days.

His statements about James have displayed the high confidence the Hornets star is riding on currently. In fact, these claims have now extended to Shaquille O’Neal and his team’s former owner, Michael Jordan as well.

Jones takes his self confidence to a different level

Kai Jones may have taken jabs at The Chosen One but he did not stop there. His confidence is soaring to a level where even NBA legends, Shaquille O’Neal and Michael Jordan seem inferior to him. While ranking himself higher than LeBron James, he also made statements about The Big Aristotle and His Airness on X.

“I’ll cook prime diesel in here” said Jones, boldly claiming precedence over Shaquille O’Neal. He then responded to another fan who tried to throw shade at him for his comments against his own teammates, LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. When questioned for his “fg%” comment, Jones responded, “Bro I hit middy better than mike wym”, taking jabs at Michael Jordan.
