LeBron James has left the NBA World buzzing after entering the podcasting world this week. The Lakers superstar teamed up with retired player JJ Redick to start their new show, Mind The Game. The highly-anticipated podcast made its debut on Tuesday, with its first episode revolving around what makes a great basketball player. While King James dropped his basketball knowledge on his new podcast, Warriors’ superstar Draymond Green had a bone to pick with LeBron.

During the latest episode of The Draymond Green Show, Draymond expressed his disappointment about LeBron starting his own podcast before coming to his show. “I’m a little upset that LeBron James is going on a podcast, and he still hasn’t been on the Draymond Green show.” Draymond said. However, Green claimed he cannot say anything because it’s LeBron’s own thing. “I guess I’ll live with it for now, pick the bone that I got to pick with him later.” Green added.

Draymond Green and LeBron James have a storied history together. Their on-court rivalry has lasted over a decade, giving the fans countless unforgettable playoff moments. “He’s the competition I relish,” Green had previously admitted. While in reciprocation, James remarked, “he’s a warrior, literally and figuratively. I’ve always admired that.”

Besides their on-court competition, LeBron and Draymond are great friends off the court. The two Champions have been spotted together at several events and parties. Last month, Draymond and LeBron were seen sharing the same Super Bowl suite and sitting next to each other. Many fans even called the duo “best friends” after the picture went viral.

Green and James are also represented by the same agent, Rich Paul. That shows how intertwined their off-court lives are with each other. So, it is understandable that Draymond is upset about LeBron not making an appearance on his show.
