LeBron James is one of the greatest players in NBA history. However, heâs also quite petty, and heâs not the one to take criticism kindly. If anything, he loves to pat himself on the back.
Thatâs why he didnât care about Doug Gottliebâs criticism. Before the analyst took the reins of Green Bay, he wasnât that impressed with LeBronâs son Bronnyâs play. He wasnât the only one, though.
Gottlieb shared his fair criticism of Bronnyâs struggles at USC. So, now that Green Bay is also struggling under his guidance, James didnât take the high road, and he clapped back at him on social media.
What did Doug Gottlieb say about Bronny James?
âEarned 2 Not Given! Gotta give him credit, though,â James said on X, along with laughing and poop emojis, reacting to a post that showed that Gottliebâs team was 3-24 for the season.
Bronny James
Gottlieb shared similar concerns about Bronnyâs games as many scouts and experts. And judging by how Bronny has played this season, itâs not like he was wrong:
âMy answer was, âHe would compete to start. But while I like how he moves the ball and defends, he wouldnât be my point, and I donât view him as a point guard. He doesnât play point guard. He doesnât want the ball. He doesnât run a team. He doesnât want to defend the point guard. He doesnât play like point,â Gottlieb said on his radio show back in 2024. âSo, he wouldnât be my point, my wings are bigger, and without seeing him with us, it would be hard for him to start; to be honest.â

Only time will tell how Bronny will fare in the pros. For now, however, itâs more than evident that James is keeping receipts, and he holds bragging rights over Gottlieb until further notice.
