LeBron James made an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show that aired on Wednesday afternoon. James discussed a number of topics in the appearance, including the experience of sharing an NBA court with his son Bronny for the first time and having to confront Stephen A. Smith in the middle of a Lakers game.
Those weren’t the only things James discussed in his appearance, which lasted for over an hour. When asked about his relationship with NBA legend Michael Jordan, James was brutally honest.
“Me & Michal Jordan are in a good spot.. I hope that we talk more when I’m done playing.. Me & Kobe never had a real relationship until we were at the Olympics together.. We were like family once he retired & I became a Laker.. MJ doesn’t wanna talk to me until I’m done,” James answered.
Fans reacted to the revelation on social media.
“This means Kobe and MJ don’t see him as an equal. And never will. Mike has nothing to say to a ring chaser,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“‘me and Kobe were like family’ the book of LeBron lying for no reason grows a new page every day,” another fan added.
“Oh maybe he’s super busy with his Sneaker brand building clinics his NASCAR team,” someone else added.
It’ll be interesting to see if Jordan deems it worth his time to respond.
