With the Los Angeles Lakers struggling for playoffs this season, the players are facing all the heat. LeBron James is undoubtedly the face of the Lakers currently and has been the center of attraction.

While some bash him for his play this season, some others have lauded his efforts of trying to carry the Lakers alone. In the past few weeks, former Los Angeles player Kwame Brown has been criticizing LeBron. From calling James the problem at the Lakers to asking questions on his defense, Brown has done it all.

In a recent YouTube live stream featuring NBA legend Gilbert Arenas, Kwame Brown goes all out as he talks about LeBron James’ minimal effort in the Lakers defense.
