In NBA history, there haven’t been many players with the quality and longevity of LeBron James. The nickname ‘King’ fits his inspirational style of basketball. Despite being 37, James has defied the laws of longevity. Still, on top of his game, the Los Angeles Lakers forward is gearing up for another mammoth season. This time with a chip on his shoulder.
However, it isn’t just the on-court flourish that makes up the legend of the Akron Hammer. Outside basketball, James has contributed to the betterment of society in numerous ways. From charity to opening up a school in Akron, the four-time champion uses his platform for the right reasons. Likewise, a legendary career has generated millions of fans. However, every action has an opposite reaction. And hate is a common theme in anything James does.
His biggest critique is popular basketball pundit Skip Bayless. Riding behind Michael Jordan, Bayless has given James a hard time. Shockingly, Bayless doesn’t even consider James to be a rival of His Airness. Likewise, he has caught a lot of slack from James’ fans for his criticisms.

However, he isn’t the only one. Popular author Nick Adams has penned down major controversial opinions of the King. And this time was no different.
LeBron James gets security from his fans
Adams has used every opportunity he can to publicly criticize LeBron James. An author endorsed by former president Donald Trump, his outrageous claims about the 18-time All-Star is often met by backlash. However, that hasn’t stopped the renowned LeBron hater from continuing his attack. Recently, he took to Twitter to discredit nearly everything that the King has achieved over an illustrious 20-year career.
Saying “LeBron James has never won a real ring!”, Adams was in full throttle. However, it might not have got the response he was hoping for. The majority of the NBA fans gave it right back to the best-selling author for his recent admissions.
