Even in the brutal world of combat sports, few personalities are as bold and outspoken as the BJJ legend Gordon Ryan. Ryan’s penchant for controversy recently reached new heights when he took a jab at basketball superstar LeBron James. Clearly, the grappler does not like James and has taken digs at the NBA star many times! However, this time, judging by the reactions of fans, it seems he has taken things a bit too far.

Recently, news surfaced about LeBron’s son, Bronny James, suffering a cardiac arrest during basketball practice. Fans all over the world showcased support for James and his family. ‘The King,’ however, decided otherwise and thought it was a good time to show his contempt for James.

Soon, the world was relieved to know that the NBA legend’s son was out of danger and in stable condition. However, Ryan would have none of this and decided to take some shots at James. Fans were shocked to witness Ryan’s insensitive comment on ESPN’s post, fueling an outpouring of fury and criticism.

Gordon Ryan takes a dig at LeBron James as the NBA legend’s son suffers from a cardiac arrest

A few hours ago, ESPN reported that Bronny James was fortunately out of the ICU. “Bronny James is stable and out of the ICU after suffering a cardiac arrest while practicing at USC on Monday,” the caption read. Fans poured their love and wishes for the basketball player, but not Ryan.

He decided to dismiss the critical situation with a short but infuriating 4-word message – “Nothing to see here.” Unsurprisingly, the BJJ fighter got a lot of heat from the fans for this message.

• “Then keep your unfounded speculation to yourself and just be happy a family didn’t lose their son.”
• “This uneducated juice head has never heard of a congenital heart defect. Stick to using your body for money, your brain ain’t it bud.”

Many urged Ryan to show some respect and sensitivity during such a critical time.

Moreover, others stressed that his comments were out of place when dealing with such a grave matter.

• “Have some respect. That jj won’t work against 💥💥. So have some respect.”
• “Pipe down and keep your sh*t to yourself. This young man could have lost his life and if the condition is serious enough, his potential career.”
• “Dooouuuuuuche.”
• “ didn’t you just get over an illness yourself….”

While there were some comments that offered support to the fighter.

• “not the crossover we asked for, the one we needed”
• “the real king has arrived”

As pointed out earlier, this is not Ryan’s first tirade against Lebron James.

Not his first dig at Lebron James

Gordon Ryan, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert, has made his dislike for Lebron James known in the past too. When James demolished his $37 mn mansion, Ryan was far from pleased and slammed him by saying that he could have let homeless people live there instead.

Also, when James set a new record of 38,390 points in the NBA, rather than congratulating the basketball superstar, Ryan poked fun by implying that the number of points stood for the number of laborers that worked in sweatshops across the world to produce the basketball uniform for James. This was aimed at contrasting James’ advocacy for equality.
