When LeBron James and the Cavs Won NBA
The latest melodrama unfolded with a tweet that lamented Jake Paul’s victory over a much older opponent. Now, Paul has always been at the receiving end of accusations of cherry-picking opponents. Hence, it was easy for the detractors to quiz his current choice and rejoice at winning, punning the famous photograph of a crying LeBron James.
The NBA finals of 2016, are widely regarded as one the best in the game’s history. The underdogs Cleveland Cavaliers with LeBron James came back to close a 3-1 deficit against the reigning champion Golden State Warriors and won their first title in 52 years! The iconic movement of James hugging his teammates is one of the most recognized across the world.
The Bout inside the Twitter Ring
Ever the loyal sibling, Jake Paul’s elder brother Logan jumped in to defend his brother.
Jake tried to fight two boxers this year on separate occasions (Tommy Fury, 23 years old, 8-0, AND Hasim Rahman JR, 31 year old, 12-1) and they BOTH BACKED OUT. A combat legend was the only one willing to take the challenge. Shut the fuck up
American boxer Hashim Rahman Jr, son of former heavyweight champion Hashim Rahman, rebutted Logan’s claim that he had back-pedaled from a match against the junior Paul. Both sides blame each other for pulling out first by not staying true to the weight standards agreed upon.
I didn’t back out, your brother cancelled the fight. But you and I weigh the same thing, stay on hush mode like you do when we in person.🤫 Mf goes 🫡 when he see me after saying it’s on sight, then gets in front of 🎥 and pop shit. You more of a b*tch then your brother 😂

Logan snapped back that he shares his brother’s weight, and pat came Rahman’s reply, which showed the former sharing his weight details with Jake.
