A caller to an ESPN radio show in Los Angeles left the two hosts stunned after they broadcast a shocking anti-LeBron James rant live on air.
The listener, named Job, called into “The Travis & Sliwa Show” and left the pair – Travis Rodgers and Allen Sliwa – in disbelief over his argument against the Lakers forward.
The caller started his rant by saying he was “not a LeBron James fan,” before the two hosts asked why and opened the proverbial rabbit hole from which the rest of the rant spewed.
“I don’t like people in general who are just full of themselves, and I don’t think there’s ever been another athlete as full of themselves as he is,” Job began.
‘Anyone who calls themselves the best player ever… You don’t call yourself the best player ever. You let other people say it. We don’t need to hear you say it.’
ESPN radio hosts Travis Rodgers and Allen Sliwa were left in disbelief after a caller’s tirade
The caller claimed that Lakers forward LeBron James is overrated, arrogant and doesn’t shoot well
“Jokic is a much better player than LeBron,” he continued. “LeBron has been taken care of his entire life.”
Sliwa then tried to argue the point that the personalities of other athletes in the conversation were not liked by every fan, but that did not detract from their performance.
“My point is also if you just want to say basketball, I’ve played a lot of basketball and been involved with it a lot. It’s a touch you have on the ball,” Job continued.
‘I never liked the way he shoots, I don’t like the touch he has. Paul Gasol, Jokic, these people have great pictures.”
James is currently averaging 24.9 points, 7.7 assists and 7.5 rebounds for the 24-25 Lakers
After cutting Job off in frustration because the tirade “shut (his) brain off,” Rodgers pointed out that James had the most points in NBA history, despite the caller claiming James was “shooting wrong.”
Additionally, James is currently closing in on reaching 40,000 career points in the NBA – a feat no other player has come close to.
James is once again putting up impressive numbers for the Lakers, despite a tough season that saw the team’s record drop to 24-25.
The 19-time All-NBA player is currently averaging 24.9 points, 7.7 assists and 7.5 rebounds.
