Joe Biden and LeBron James have a couple of things in common. While Joe Biden is the President of the United States, LeBron James is the supreme king of the Lakers. Apart from this, they have a hater in common too, and that’s none other than Fox reporter Joe Concha. Though he shares the same first name with Biden, their interests don’t align.

Notably, a couple of days ago, the Fox News contributor launched a new book titled ‘Come On, Man! The Truth About Joe Biden’s Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Presidency’. The book is an account of what is really going on inside the White House. But Joe Concha did not stop here.

After locking horns with his first opponent, he moved on to the next. Recently, he reposted a tweet by the New York Post, “LeBron James shades Pacers for controversial Game 1 decision.” Not only this, but he also fired up against LeBron by penning, “Michael Jordan never did this because he was almost always still playing at this point of the playoffs. Can LeBron ever show some class?”

Interestingly, Concha not only criticized LeBron James for his recent controversy with the Indiana Pacers but also compared his favorite Michael Jordan with James. But why is he angry with LeBron James?

LeBron James’ feud with Joe Concha

In a recent matchup between the Indiana Pacers and the Celtics, LeBron James was not thrilled about the moment shifter. In the final few seconds of the fourth quarter in the Eastern Conference Finals, Jaylen Brown tied the game with a 3-pointer. This proved to be a pivotal decision as the Celtics forced overtime and won Game 1 on their home court.

This led James to take up on the Pacers. Shortly after the match, he took to his X account and penned, “And yall still wanna know why I would foul up 3 EVERY SINGLE TIME??” He also reshared a snippet of his recent podcast with co-host JJ Redick, wherein he discussed the importance of fouling the opponent team in the last few seconds.

As expected, this led to fiery debates about LeBron James and the Pacers. Joe Concha came across this news and was immediately compelled to compare the two GOAT contenders: James and Jordan. Though he seems to be favoring Michael Jordan, this is not the first time LeBron James has been a target.

Five months ago, Joe Concha, for the first time, had a reason to criticize LeBron James. “No respect for our military,” said Joe Concha while blasting James for being seated during the national anthem.
