It was a revelation to the media and the paparazzi. Almost all of the new drafts wanted to dunk on LeBron James. Taylor Hendricks said, “I want to dunk on LeBron.” So did Keyonte George, in different words though, and Brandon Miller who chimed in with LeBron’s name.
Now, dunking is what any NBA player does all the while, as it forms the very essence of the game. But sometimes, iconic players assure their friends that they won’t dunk on them. But it seems that the young crowd is going all out to dunk over LeBron.
Brandon created some buzz when he earlier said, “Michael Jordan is just a regular guy for me.” Brandon has some interesting theories. For example, he thinks that Paul George is the greatest of all time.

On the other hand, LeBron has nothing left to prove. The only battle he’s not winning is the one nobody does – the one with Father Time. LeBron is 39 years old and is very close to retiring. So, it now depends on LeBron, whether he will want to give a chance to the newbies to play with him, let alone dunk on him.
Meanwhile, social networks instantly blasted out their thoughts about Brandon’s answers.
Instagram went berserk over the answers
One user asked, “How confident they are to say that when lebron is old 😂 no one was saying this shit when he was young[?]”
Another one compared the scenario to what happened with Michael Jordan, “Just like the rookies did to Michael back in the day it’s now happening to Lebron as well.”
