LeBron James is one of the most influential players in the NBA. He gets immense respect from his fan base and also the analysts. His work, both on and off the court, has earned him a lot of respect. However, when that code of respect is broken, the ‘King’ doesn’t take it lightly.

Former ESPN anchor, Michelle Beadle knows all about that.

James and Beadle have a bit of history with one another, It mainly stems from James’ ‘The Decision’. Beadle admitted to making fun of it and the superstar took it personally. While the reporter said it wasn’t anything against LeBron, he took offense to what she did.

He kept no room for forgiveness. Moreover, even his teammates joined in to make sure Beadle knows she is not on good terms.

LeBron James won’t even shake hands with Beadle

Recently, Beadle spoke about her relationship with LeBron and how he and his teammates have given her cold shoulders. She claims that she has been around them multiple times. However, James has been reluctant about talking to her or even acknowledging her. While the reason for ‘The Decision’ remains in the air, Beadle doesn’t know why James treats her the way he does.

She said: “They won’t acknowledge me. I have been around them a couple of times. Either my hand was ignored when I held it out for a handshake or my presence was not even acknowledged even though there were three people standing there. I’m telling you, it’s like did I have a relationship with you that I don’t remember? Like that’s what it feels like.”
