NBA Fans Lash Out at LeBron James Over Latest Praise for Soccer Star Neymar: “Next Day He Saying Cristiano, 4 Days Later It’s Messi”

LeBron James’ reaction to the trailer of Neymar Jr.’s documentary series, “Neymar: The Perfect Chaos,” was seen on Twitter, where he expressed his excitement over the series. The series goes over Neymar’s accomplishments and his game in three episodes. The documentary is produced by Netflix in collaboration with Uninterrupted, which is associated with SpringHill Company.

Uninterrupted focuses on athlete empowerment. Both James and Maverick Carter own the company. Their focus is to present the athlete’s perspective. It gives athletes the opportunity to communicate without intermediaries.

James’ reaction to Neymar’s documentary series garnered many tweets from NBA fans. Many fans attacked James for his recent praise of soccer star Neymar. Between those comments, one said,  “Next day he saying Cristiano, 4 days later it’s Messi”.

James has praised all three players repeatedly, so this reaction isn’t unexpected. Throughout the years, he has always supported athletes and talent in their field of sport. Essentially, it’s a positive act of kindness to support another player.

The reaction that he got from the NBA audience was based on his previous responses. Back in 2020, James answered some of the fans’ questions during an Instagram live session. He was asked by one of his fans who he loves watching on the field of football.

He noted that anyone in Jurgen Klopp’s squad is his favorite, since he is a minority owner of Liverpool. His answer was, “Favourite soccer players… I got a few,” he said. “First of all, every player on Liverpool. Straight up. Every player on Liverpool.”

In addition, he said: “Mbappe, Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, those guys are legends, I love those guys. Those are just a few of them.”

Then, he added Lionel Andrés Messi to his list, before mentioning AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic as his final pick.

According to him, “Zlatan? His crazy a**e. He crazy, but he damn good, though.” [h/t sportsbible.com]
