Ric Flair’s Strong Response To Lakers’ LeBron James Criticism: ‘I Want To Strangle This Guy’

LeBron James has been around for two decades. He has an army of supporters, but also has a group of people who don’t show any respect for his GOAT status. LeBron has accomplished more than any other player in the NBA, but he still receives an unhealthy dose of criticism every time he takes the floor. Some fans are bothered with his dominance while others don’t like the fact that no one can beat the Lakers superstar. Alan Hahn said LeBron was an “old man” and didn’t get the reaction he expected to get from the four-time NBA champion. LeBron may have ignored this comment, but Ric Flair destroyed him.

Flair talked to Shannon Sharpe on the podcast and mentioned Hahn’s comment. Yes, it was an excellent introduction in the GOAT debate. His reaction will trigger an avalanche on social media.

LeBron is used to this criticism

Age has nothing on LeBron and he will sure have a few great seasons. He was predicted to switch teams and even retire after the 2022-23 NBA season, but it didn’t happen. LeBron is happy with his current team and trusts the strength his teammates have.

LeBron has incredible basketball intelligence which helps him control the game. He can predict each move players make and gains great advantage over his opponents.

The best part? LeBron doesn’t pay much attention to outside noise. Nothing can get under his skin. He joined the NBA with a goal and claimed the throne. Doubters may call him names or ignore his reign, but LeBron is here to do what he knows best. Win.

The Lakers had a slow start to the season, but they look good now. They beat opponents with minimal effort and we have a good feeling about the season. So does Darvin Ham. The Lakers head coach trusts his team and players try to get the best out of each game. Let’s see if they manage to get another title this season!
