“Is He Only Tough on Twitter”: NBA World Came to “Crybaby” LeBron James’ Defense When Former President Donald Trump’s Son Took Shots at Him on Instagram

LeBron James is one of the absolute best. He is the greatest of all time for many fans around the world. The things he has achieved in his career are the things one can not even dream of. Over the span of his 18 years long career, he has played for three franchises and has definitely made a special impact in each of his teams. 

Quite recently, LeBron James surpassed Karl Malone in the list for most points in the history of the NBA. LeBron sits on 2nd now and is only behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. 

LeBron is often accused of complaining a lot and jumping on the opportuning to get involved in any altercation on the court or in his post-match interviews. This might sometimes mean that he is too involved in his game or with his team but it gives the fans a chance to roast James about him being a ‘crybaby’.

However, the roasts are only acceptable and laughable as long as they are not insulting and one surprising entity once did just that.

NBA fans crucify Donald Trump Jr after he tries to roast LeBron James

In November 2021, LeBron was very unhappy with the behavior of two particular fans in Indiana. LeBron brought the unacceptable things the fans said to the referee’s notice and the fans were kicked out.

 After this incident, Donald Trump Jr decided to ‘roast’ LeBron James through his Instagram account.

This was more of an insult than a roast and Donald Trump’s son got the befitting response from the fans for taking on James. Among many others, famous journalist Aaron Ruper and former NBA star Rex Chapman were the first ones to call out Trump’s son.

LeBron numbers all throughout his career have been outstanding. LeBron James is the only player in NBA history to have more than 10,000 points, rebounds, and assists each. At 37, one might point out that his defensive output and overall impact in games is not what it used to be in his prime.

He does not put that much effort into tracking back and helping out his teammates. Although these accusations and weaknesses might have some truth in them yet he has dropped enough masterclasses to prove that he is far from over.

LeBron James is averaging 29.8 points per game this season and one can not disagree with the fact that he is still one of the best scorers in the league. LeBron’s criticism for his ‘complaining’ nature might be fair. But the manner of it and the insult is not fair, especially when it is coming from someone who has close to no ties to basketball.
