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

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