LeBron James Calls Out The Fans Who Think They Are Basketball Experts: "It's So Funny To Me How Many Basketball Experts There Are On This App. Everybody Dr. James Naismith! It's Fascinating."

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers' season ended early as they failed to make it to the playoffs after an abysmal 2021-22 NBA season. Despite that, James has been constantly in the news for various reasons.

Recently, he was showered with hearty congratulations after being officially announced as a billionaire by Forbes. It's truly a great achievement on James' part as he is still playing in the NBA and can further add value to his net worth very quickly.

Anyway, today we aren't here to talk about that. Instead, we are here to focus on something that James tweeted. Considering LeBron got an elongated summer break due to missing the playoffs, the King seems to have a lot of empty time.

This time around, the 37-year-old used that to call out fans who pretend to act like NBA analysts on Twitter.

"It's so funny to me how many basketball experts there are on this app. Everybody Dr. James Naismith! It's fascinating."

LeBron tweeted this after the end of Game 2 of the 2022 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics. The game ended in favor of the Warriors as they tied the series at 1-1.

Considering this was a blowout victory, many so-called NBA experts decided to tweet out their nerdy analysis of the game even before the final buzzer was blown. This probably played a role in James calling out such fans who pretend to be experts of the game.

Now, let's be honest, Twitter is a great place to discuss NBA and basketball in general. Unfortunately, more often than not, people tend to blow things out of proportion on the app.

There are many NBA superstars who openly call out such people and give befitting replies. But what if such arguments never took place? Well, that's certainly a distant dream for basketball lovers.

Bill Russell Once Explained Why He Didn't Bother With Celtics Fans: "When I Was A Star, The Fans Called Us The 'Boston Globetrotters' Because The Celtics Had Black Players."

While the NBA is a beacon for freedom and tolerance in America, things didn't start off that way. In a place like Boston, during the 50s and 60s, racial tension was a pretty serious problem, and superstar big man Bill Russell had to deal with it on a game-to-game basis. Today, it can be hard for us to imagine just how difficult being a black basketball player really was back then. Fortunately, we have some clips: "The number one paper was the Boston Herald and they didn't like the idea of an NBA team having black players. Out there, the star was Bob Cousy. No matter what I did, Cousy was the star. I remember I had a game where I had 25 points, 25 rebounds, 10 blocks, and the Boston Herald said I was lucky to play with Cousy." Unfortunately, the media didn't give Russell his respect back then. Despite being the best player on the court, and on his team, Cousy and others always got the spotlight. Even the fans weren't very accepting of Bill: "I didn't...

From Deep: At long last, Nikola Jokic's Nuggets can envision getting to the top of the mountain

Jamal Murray tore his ACL on April 12, 2021. Leading up to that night, he'd been playing at an All-NBA level for two months: In a 25-game stretch, Murray averaged 24.1 points on .509/.459/.935 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was even more efficient than he was in the bubble playoffs, and his defense had improved, too. Murray only got to play with Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets' big trade-deadline addition, for five games. They won them all except the one in which Murray got injured. In 110 minutes, their new starting five scored slightly more efficiently than any iteration of the Kevin Durant-era death lineup in Golden State and defended like a top-five team. Two Nikola Jokic MVP awards later, Murray is back. So is Michael Porter Jr., who signed a five-year extension about a year ago and needed back surgery nine games into the 2020-21 season. The Nuggets remember how easily everything slid into place with Gordon in the mix. Newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pop...

Sixers' James Harden backs teammate Joel Embiid for MVP: 'He deserves it, man'

James Harden has been a member of the Philadelphia 76ers for less than two months, but that's been more than enough time for him to appreciate the brilliance of Joel Embiid. The duo is expected to help the Sixers compete for a championship, but Harden believes another trophy should be on its way to Philly this year. In an interview with Ramona Shelburne of ESPN, Harden backed Embiid for MVP, saying "he deserves it, man." "I've only been here for a few weeks, but I already see his mindset," Harden said. "He wants to win. Some guys just want numbers, but he has both. He has the mentality of winning, and he scores the ball at a high level. I think he's prepared himself, especially coming off last year, for this year to be one of his best years." This has indeed been one of Embiid's best years. He's averaging a career-high 29.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.4 blocks while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 35.8 percent f...
