The media’s rightfully crowned king of controversy, Andrew Tate has been making the headlines for over a year, but for all the wrong reasons. However, before his recent controversy against Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, the former kickboxing star, like always, gave a polarizing sports take that may have upset an entire sports fanbase, including fans of LeBron James and Stephen Curry.?

Tate recently appeared on the popular YouTube vlogger?Mo Vlogs’ channel when he visited Dubai. He sat down for a podcast episode on the channel. Among many over-the-top topics discussed on the podcast, the former kickboxing champion’s sports takes caught the attention of many fans. When asked about his choice between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, the dean of Hustlers University also dragged the NBA in his answer.?

Likewise, the self-proclaimed ‘Top-G’ sat down with Mohamed Beiraghdary (a.k.a?Mo Vlogs)?for a podcast episode. In the episode, Tate addressed various outlandish topics. In one of the episode segments, when asked about his choice between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, Tate gave a surprising answer. He exclaimed, “I don’t have a clue.”?

After addressing his limited experience watching soccer and the World Cup, when asked whether he watched basketball, Tate replied, “No, I don’t want to.” Similarly, in a past interview with streamer Adin Ross, when asked about LeBron James and basketball, Tate said, “Basketball is Bulls**it…nah, it’s g*y, basketball is g*y, I don’t know, it’s just put the ball in the net; I mean, where’s the fun in that?”

When Adin Ross pressured him on whether he watches LeBron James, Tate straightaway dismissed the prospect of watching not only King James, but any basketball action. Apart from offending fans, the former kickboxing star’s divisive take on basketball would not please hoopers, who put their heart and soul in the game. Tate not only expressed his dislike for basketball, but tried to undermine the sport itself in its entirety.?
