NBA World Reacts To LeBron Powerful Message

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James delivered a powerful message to the NBA world and a lot of players agree with him. The 2020-21 NBA season was plagued with injuries and most superstars finished the regular season with serious injuries. Kawhi Leonard is probably dealing with a season-ending ACL injury. LeBron and Anthony Davis missed a lot of time due to their respective injuries. Things got really bad and the Brooklyn Nets had to go through the same nightmare.

King James took to Twitter to deliver his “I told you so” message.

“They all didn’t wanna listen to me about the start of the season,” LeBron wrote. “I knew exactly what would happen. I only wanted to protect the well being of the players which ultimately is the PRODUCT & BENEFIT of OUR GAME! These injuries isn’t just ‘PART OF THE GAME’. It’s the lack of PURE RIM REST rest before starting back up. 8, possibly 9 ALL-STARS has missed Playoff games(most in league history). This is the best time of the year for our league and fans but missing a ton of our fav players. It’s insane. If there’s one person that know about the body and how it works all year round it’s ME! I speak for the health of all our players and I hate to see this many injuries this time of the year. Sorry fans wish you guys were seeing all your fav guys right now.”

LeBron James gets mixed reactions to his message

LeBron and his teammates won a championship inside the NBA bubble in Orlando. He talked about the quick turnaround on almost every occasion. Players had 72 games instead of 82, but the schedule was pretty packed.

Fans and analysts from around the NBA reacted to LeBron’s message. Well, he sure got some mixed responses.

Spoken like the true ambassador of the league that he is. https://t.co/vwuEJh0Bqk

It’s almost like the @NBA should listen to the face of the league sometimes! https://t.co/wMMb9JTSxF

Friend, a lot of us non-NBA executives had your same concerns. All these developments are unfortunate but unsurprising. Decision-makers let this happen. https://t.co/TzGvvpWPdS

Lol, Kawhi practically rested every other game during the season. This is such a silly argument. https://t.co/7k9tgbQQq1

Bron saw the Chris Paul and Kawhi news and was really like, "hmm… how can I make this about ME?" https://t.co/Vh287nlGl4

Oh please! What about 2 years ago when Klay, Durant, and Boogie all had soft tissue tears in the finals? What about when Kawhi landed on Zaza in the 2017 WCF? What did that have to do with? Maybe Harden should have showed up to training camp instead of ghosting his teammates? https://t.co/58yhKBILQD

People may hate or dislike as a player but you gotta respect this man and how much of a leader he is for his peers. Dude called it, NBA ignored. https://t.co/IJDpcQMwtp

We just going to ignore the $$$ side of this? The players would have lost a ton of money as well as the owners. Both agreed to it. Stop crying!!! https://t.co/vOmKns3OdZ

You may not agree with LeBron on this one, but we can’t ignore the fact that most superstars had to miss a lot of time due to injuries. Let’s see what happens next year. Maybe the NBA will make some changes.
