LEBRON James may be one of the NBA’s GOATs, but that doesn’t mean he was everyone’s hero growing up.
Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, 24, recently admitted he wasn’t a fan of James’ game, leading to him being labeled “salty.”

Speaking to Pass The Rock, Gilgeous-Alexander explained, “I never liked it [LeBron’s] Game.
“When I was younger he was just super athletic for me, I wasn’t.
“He was 6ft 8 and super strong, and neither was I.”
Gilgeous-Alexander’s comments about the nineteen-time NBA All-Star have divided fans on Twitter.
One claimed: “He’s salty about the All-Star game. Lol.”
Another said: “To say he has no skills but he’s still 10 times the player you will ever be LMFAO.”
While one commented in comparison: “Nothing disrespectful just an honest opinion”
Irreverent or just plain blunt and honest, Gilgeous-Alexander’s comments come during what is arguably his best season since being drafted 11th overall in 2018.
In 61 games this season, he’s averaged a career/team-high 31.4 points and 35.6 minutes per game, along with 4.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists.
In the meantime, James became the all-time leading scorer in the NBA earlier this seasonsurpasses Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
In 47 games this season, he’s averaged 29.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 36.1 minutes per game.
