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.

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...

Klay Thompson to sit out Warriors preseason games in Japan as Kerr says he needs more time to ramp-up

Klay Thompson may have returned healthy to the Golden State Warriors last season, but the scars from his two missed seasons are still quite visible. The Warriors played their first of two preseason games against the Washington Wizards on Friday and will play another on Sunday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Thompson will not be playing at all during the trip to Japan. "Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said before Friday's victory over Washington. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp-up before he plays in games." Typically, so little time to ramp up wouldn't be a problem for a veteran in a preseason context. The games tend to be so low-impact and demand so few minutes out of a team's best players that they can safely jog through them. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green played 1...

LeBron James says he has 'no relationship' with Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

It's not a matter of if LeBron James passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the No. 1 spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list, it's when. James sits just 1,326 points away from passing the Hall of Famer and Los Angeles Lakers legend, a milestone that should happen at some point this season given James is still performing at peak levels and is coming off a year in which he averaged over 30 points a night. If he averages around the same amount of points as he did a season ago for the Lakers, James could break the record somewhere in the middle of the season, assuming he stays healthy. It's a highly anticipated moment heading into the season, but in regards to LeBron's thoughts about and his relationship with Abdul-Jabbar, he didn't have much to say on the matter. Following the Lakers first preseason game Monday night, a reporter asked James what his thoughts were on the Lakers legend and if the two had any relationship, to which LeBron gave a very short answer. "No...
