53 Year Hollywood Veteran Slaps LeBron James With 8 Word Message

The last few weeks have been unbelievable for the NBA fans. To begin with, the Denver Nuggets beat the LA Lakers, crushing their chances of a ring this season. Then?LeBron James?hints at possible?retirement plans, creating a stir on the internet. While LeBron received criticism for his antics, the Nuggets went on to conquer the NBA Finals. After beating the Miami Heat, they took home their first NBA championship trophy.

The NBA community can’t catch a breath! But, what happens next definitely caught LeBron’s attention and prompted a reply from him. The 4x NBA champion clapped back at the Nuggets coach for his recent jibe at him. In retaliation, King James wrote a cryptic text regarding the episode, catching a Hollywood veteran’s eye.

Where it all began

It all started with Michael Malone, Nuggets’ coach?taking shots at LeBron on The Pat McAfee Show.?Mimicking the weeks-old antic by the Lakers star when he hinted at his retirement. Several people perceived it as a distraction strategy by LeBron as he wanted to hide his loss at the hands of the Nuggets. Additionally, it seems to be an attention-grabbing attempt when the franchise is on the verge of making history. His subtle “hint” was criticized by fans and veterans alike, but it hardly concerned LeBron. Soon enough he was in France, waving the flag before the LeMans historic race.

However, when the Nuggets won, Malone didn’t waste time in getting back at the all-time highest scorer of the game. On the Pat show he said, “I just want you guys to know this is breaking news: I?m thinking about retiring. Only kidding, only kidding.”

LeBron James receives a strong message

The subtle jab spread like wildfire. Numerous pieces were written about it and were deeply discussed. Though LeBron looks unfazed by it, the reality is far from that. The King took to Instagram to respond to these comments using a picture from the same race, blasting off Malone in the caption.

LeBron wrote, “In Europe for the last past few weeks minding my business and I hear I?m on your mind that much huh???”

Waving “the flag on these lames,” LeBron calls himself the sun and everyone is under his light. He writes, “Enjoy your light but just know I?m the SUN. I stay on forever!”?

It didn’t take too long for fans to connect the dots on this and understand that this is a shot at Malone. Several notable celebrities including Hollywood veteran Michael Rapaport and Draymond Green commented on the post.

Green’s comments read?“Make being player cool AGAIN!,” While Rapaport had a strong 8-word message for the King. The veteran wrote, “How do they spell say sweep in France,”?referencing his presence in France. He also asked LeBron to not worry about the talks in town around his name.
