I can’t agree with Stephen A on this one, all Lebron did was ask a question and to be honest it’s a fair question. Idk why he so butthurt about it, but you know they say, If you throw a brick into a pack of dogs the one that got hit will holler

what does signing a contract worth a lot of money have to do with being the face of the league or wanting to be

You can tell the referees don’t like Ant because he’s out spoken and confident like Allen Iverson was as a player. So he doesn’t get fouls called like SGA, shooting 15 free throws a game with only 15 points from the field!!

You get it! No other league period gets covered like this.

SAS is an expert in backhand complements to Lebron or other players, he is great in praising first and then destroying them.. remember what you did to Kwame Brown?.. expert in bringing down all these players just to elevate MJ who dominated the plumbers era. LOL

So an 18 year old kid who was told if he wasn’t a first ballot hall of fame player before he even touched the NBA court asked to be the face of the league ? No one is allowed to wear 23 because Jordan wore it ? No one is allowed to want to be like Jordan the goat ? Signing with Nike was saying you want to be the face of the league ? First take is a joke when it comes to basketball analytics 🤦🏿♂️🤣
