BJJ GOAT Gordon Ryan is not one to shy away from the limelight. Despite his spectacular record in Jiu-Jitsu, Ryan has a long history of lashing out at individuals online, earning him a reputation as a verbal bulldozer. One of his most prominent targets is none other than UFC superstar Conor McGregor‘s friend Dillon Danis, whom the 27-year-old has ripped out on various occasions.

In February this year, when James became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, Ryan took the opportunity to make a rather bold joke at the basketball player’s expense.

On his Instagram, Ryan trolled James’ 38,390 tally by writing, “I must be late to the party. What is this? Is it the number of slaves he has manufacturing his sponsored gear while he complains about equality? Asking for a friend.”
