&lt;p&gt;It's not a secret that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;LeBron James&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;has always been&lt;strong&gt; a polarizing figure. &lt;/strong&gt;First, it was in the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;because of his comparisons to &lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Michael Jordan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. But now, it's also off the court given his political stance and role as a philantropist.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;James has made plenty of enemies lately. He's taken a stand&lt;strong&gt; against former President Donald Trump&lt;/strong&gt; and some around the Republican Party, which has obviously led to a lot of backlash around social media.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;That's why it wasn't surprising to see confessed Trump supporter&lt;strong&gt; Colby Covington&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lebron-james-vs-colby-covington-ufc-star-takes-another-massive-shot-at-the-king-20200922-0001.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;take multiple shots at him last year&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. And, even though James was unfazed by his comments, &lt;strong&gt;he continues to call him out to this day.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Colby Covington Says LeBron James Is A Chinese Puppet Master&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;Just a big hypocrite,&rdquo; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Covington said in an interview.&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &ldquo;&lt;/strong&gt;He talks about his two biggest things he loves to talk about equality and justice.&lt;strong&gt; Where&rsquo;s the equality of employing women in Chinese sweatshops to make your merchandise for millions of dollars while they&rsquo;re making pennies? &lt;/strong&gt;Where&rsquo;s the equality in that?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;Where&rsquo;s the justice in critiquing the greatest country on God&rsquo;s green Earth America but not talking about Hong Kong, not talking about the Uyghurs in China?&lt;strong&gt; He stays silent on everything in China because he&rsquo;s a Chinese puppet master.&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div class=&quot;ck-related-news&quot;&gt;

 &lt;div id=&quot;relatedNews-99&quot;&gt;
   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Covington isn't the first - and certainly won't be the last - to call out LeBron for his silence on the Hong Kong controversy. It's not a secret that he's made most of his money thanks to his endorsement deal with Nike and speaking his mind about that issue&lt;strong&gt; would be counterproductive.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Then again, James has done plenty for his community to earn his stripes and the right to not just shut up and dribble. You may or may not be a fan of his or his political views, but&lt;strong&gt; at least he's done... something.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

LeBron James is a 'Chinese puppet master', says UFC star Colby Covington

&lt;p&gt;Throughout history, we've witnessed some iconic rivalries develop in the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Los Angeles Lakers&lt;/a&gt; vs. &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/boston-celtics-t101837&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Boston Celtics&lt;/a&gt;, Bill Russell vs. Magic Johnson,&lt;/strong&gt; and more recently..&lt;strong&gt;. LeBron James vs. Donald Trump.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The former&lt;strong&gt; President of the United States &lt;/strong&gt;has constantly taken shots at James, who has never hesitated to let everybody know just how much he despises Trump either. And this back-and-forth has gone even after he left office.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;But, after several weeks of ostracism and secrecy, the businessman and former politician spoke in front of a crowd again, so it wasn't surprising to see him &lt;strong&gt;take a swipe of LeBron James once again.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Donald Trump Makes Fun Of LeBron James With Weird Sex Change Joke&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;If I were a coach, I&rsquo;ll tell you, I wouldn&rsquo;t be talking to too many women as we know women. I&rsquo;d be getting some of these people that, &lsquo;they&rsquo;re women,&rsquo;&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Trump told the crowd.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;Somebody said that if LeBron James ever decided to get the operation, how would he be on the court?&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Did you see the basketball ratings, which were terrible? But they went up after his team was defeated,&lt;/em&gt;&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt; Trump added.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Trump has constantly made remarks against the NBA, its ratings, and mainly LeBron James. James has always been a polarizing figure on the court, but Trump has now&lt;strong&gt; turned plenty of people against him off the court as well.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Even a bar in Ohio decided to stop airing Lakers games because of LeBron James. And while some people ridiculized that decision, others claim that the bar &lt;strong&gt;had never been busier and most successful.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;At the end of the day, everybody's entitled to his own opinion on these matters. But maybe stating that trans women are better at sports than women isn't exactly the message you'd want to hear &lt;strong&gt;from the former leader of the Free World.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Donald Trump cracks a weird joke about LeBron James getting a sex change

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/lebron-james-t92259&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LeBron James&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is one of the&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/The-15-greatest-NBA-players-of-all-time-20200329-0002.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;greatest players&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt; history&lt;/strong&gt; and one of the most popular athletes in the world. Moreover, he's been a regular face in the Olympics before, yet he's nowhere to be found in Tokyo 2020.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Most casual fans would tune in to watch Team USA and witness The King leading their nation to the podium once again, and some will be quite disappointed to know that this time, he won't take part in the festivities.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;But, what's happening? Why isn't LeBron James with Team USA for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/olympic-games-t156666&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tokyo 2020 Olympics?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Wasn't he called up? Will he retire? Or was he just tired? Who'll take his place? Worry no more, as &lt;strong&gt;we're going to answer all those questions shortly.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Why Isn't LeBron James Playing For Team USA In The Tokyo 2020 Olympics?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;As you may know by now, LeBron James isn't getting any younger. He's 36 years old and has been playing at the highest level &lt;strong&gt;for the past 18 years,&lt;/strong&gt; so, he needs to get some time off just like anybody else.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The King&lt;/em&gt; nursed a high-ankle injury towards the end of the season with the Los Angeles Lakers and will need some months to heal and get back to full strength. Also, he's been quite busy with &lt;strong&gt;Space Jam: A New Legacy's&lt;/strong&gt; release.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Who Will Replace LeBron James In The Tokyo 2020 Olympics?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;While Team USA didn't exactly name one player to be LeBron James' replacement, the roster for the Olympic Games&lt;strong&gt; is pretty stacked a&lt;/strong&gt;nd goes as follows:&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat)&lt;br&gt; Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns)&lt;br&gt; Kevin Durant (Brooklyn Nets)&lt;br&gt; Jerami Grant (Detroit Pistons)&lt;br&gt; Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors)&lt;br&gt; Jrue Holiday (Milwaukee Bucks)&lt;br&gt; Keldon Johnson (San Antonio Spurs)&lt;br&gt; Zach LaVine (Chicago Bulls)&lt;br&gt; Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers)&lt;br&gt; JaVale McGee (Denver Nuggets)&lt;br&gt; Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks)&lt;br&gt; Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics)&lt;/p&gt;

Tokyo 2020: Why isn't LeBron James playing for Team USA in the Olympics?

&lt;p&gt;Against all odds and just several months after signing that massive contract extension, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/giannis-antetokounmpo-t147631&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Giannis Antetokounmpo&lt;/a&gt; led the&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/milwaukee-bucks-t100207&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Milwaukee Bucks&lt;/a&gt; to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA &lt;/a&gt;title&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/every-nba-title-milwuakee-bucks-history-20210720-0004.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the third&lt;/a&gt; in franchise history and first in 50 years.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Not many players decide to stay with the small-market team, let alone win 'on their own', especially nowadays when it's usual to see superstars teaming up, stack their rosters, &lt;strong&gt;and pursue a ring 'the easy way'.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;That's why &lt;em&gt;The Greek Freak&lt;/em&gt; didn't hesitate to throw a little shade at those superstars who ran from the grind and just team up&lt;strong&gt; to win an &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-all-nba-champions-by-year-20210701-0003.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA Championship&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-all-nba-champions-by-year-20210701-0003.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; claiming that's not the easy way to do it.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Giannis Antetokounmpo Says He Won The Right And Hard Way: Without A Superteam&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s easy to go and win a Championship with someone else. I could go, it&rsquo;s easy. I could go to a super-team, play my part and win it but this is the hard way to do it and we did it. We f*cking did it,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&quot; Giannis said after the game.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;We might never win another one. It's fine. We did it. We did what we're supposed to do. And I&rsquo;d rather do it this way &mdash; win one this way than go somewhere else in a super team and win two or three,&quot; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;he later added on an interview.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;/div&gt; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;You don't have to be a genius or an expert to see where he's coming from. &lt;strong&gt;LeBron James&lt;/strong&gt; has always gotten criticism for teaming up in Miami, Cleveland, and Los Angeles to win a ring, while&lt;strong&gt; Kevin Durant &lt;/strong&gt;became infamous for joining the 73-9 Golden State Warriors.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;To be fair, it's worth noting that 1) &lt;strong&gt;there's no easy way of winning an NBA Championship&lt;/strong&gt;, 2) the Milwaukee Bucks had an outstanding team and a pretty balanced roster full of top-notch role players.&lt;/p&gt;

Giannis Antetokounmpo throws shade at LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and the superteams

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/phoenix-suns-t94622&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Phoenix Suns&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;' fairytale in the 2020/21 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NBA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; season ended in disappointment as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/milwaukee-bucks-t100207&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Milwaukee Bucks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; secured the title on Game 6 to win &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-all-nba-champions-by-year-20210701-0003.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;their first ring in 50 years&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/chris-paul-t151121&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chris Paul&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;came up short in his quest for &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/ringless-best-nba-players-that-have-never-won-a-ring-20210625-0009.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;a first championship&lt;/a&gt; again, and now his future is up in the air.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The veteran point guard got closer than ever to finally adding the greatest accolade to his brilliant career, yet not even his 26-point performance &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/milwaukee-bucks-become-2020-21-nba-champions-funniest-memes-and-reactions-20210721-0001.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;on Wednesday night&lt;/a&gt; was enough to force Game 7. Paul, 36, is not getting any younger and &lt;strong&gt;it seems like he just missed a massive opportunity&lt;/strong&gt; to finally get his hands on the NBA trophy.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;It was also a heartbreaking result for the Suns after an impressive regular season and a solid run in the playoffs, as &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/Ringless-NBA-teams-that-havent-won-a-championship-yet-20200730-0001.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;their long wait for a ring&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; continues. However, things could get even worse for them, as Chris Paul now has to decide whether to stay for another year &lt;strong&gt;or look for his first success somewhere else&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

Others, such as the NBA legend&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-2021-all-finals-mvp-by-year-20210701-0004.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Magic Johnson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, have already begun to speculate about what's next for him.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As soon as Milwaukee sealed their win on Game 6, the former &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Los Angeles Lakers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; superstar said: &lt;em&gt;&quot;If Chris Paul opts out of his contract with the Suns, his first call should be from his best friend LeBron James and the Lakers.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/lebron-james-t92259&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LeBron James&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and Paul are close friends, as they've supported each other throughout their careers - LeBron even attended Game 5 to cheer on the Suns' star - so it would be no surprise to see them discuss joining forces next season.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Magic Johnson: &quot;A big three with LeBron, Chris, and AD will equal a NBA championship!&quot;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Magic Johnson, however, went further and stated that&amp;nbsp;Chris Paul, LeBron James, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/anthony-davis-t126041&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anthony Davis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; would secure the NBA ring for the Los Angeles Lakers. Well, should they manage&amp;nbsp;to stay healthy, they would definitely set up &lt;strong&gt;the mightiest trio in&amp;nbsp;the West&lt;/strong&gt; - and arguably in the league.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;img data-height=&quot;175&quot; data-width=&quot;740&quot; data-size=&quot;w:740,h:175&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;/__export/1626891039183/sites/bolavip/img/2021/07/21/magic_tw_2.jpg_1829071615.jpg&quot; width=&quot;740&quot; height=&quot;175&quot;&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time is running out for Chris Paul&lt;/strong&gt;, who at 36 got really close to finally winning an NBA championship for the first time in his career but came up short again. Therefore, &lt;strong&gt;maybe it is time for him to join a superteam&lt;/strong&gt; and go all in for the greatest prize a basketball player can win.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Paul will probably be facing his last chances to adding the NBA ring to his legacy, and joining an ambitious Lakers could be the right&amp;nbsp;move to finally doing so. The point guard, however, &lt;strong&gt;would have to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-best-free-agents-and-their-possible-destinations-20210708-0002.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;opt out of his contract with the Suns&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, declining an extremely lucrative offer. Will he end up wearing the purple and gold next season?&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Magic Johnson predicts Chris Paul will join LeBron James and the Lakers

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NBA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Finals are legacy-defining moments. That's where good players become great players and great players &lt;strong&gt;become basketball legends&lt;/strong&gt;. That's why so many Hall of Famers have &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/ringless-best-nba-players-that-have-never-won-a-ring-20210625-0009.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;never been able to win&lt;/a&gt; an &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rings-teams-with-most-championships-20200929-0008.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA Championship.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;If winning a ring is hard, imagine being named&lt;strong&gt; Finals MVP.&lt;/strong&gt; You have to stand out from the rest of the pack, rise&amp;nbsp;to the occasion after enduring a full season, play through injuries, visit hostile environments, and still deliver.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Unsurprisingly, the &lt;strong&gt;Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award&lt;/strong&gt; (formerly known as NBA Finals MVP Award) has gone to some of the&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/The-15-Greatest-NBA-Players-of-All-Time-20200329-0002.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;most dominant and iconic players&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to ever lace them up.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just 11 players have been able to win this award more than once since they started choosing it in 1969, with &lt;strong&gt;Michael Jordan leading the race with 6.&lt;/strong&gt; The award is given out by an 11-judge panel of media members.&lt;/p&gt;

NBA Finals 2021: All Finals MVP by year

&lt;p&gt;Not so long ago, no one had a clue as to who the hell was&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/giannis-antetokounmpo-t147631&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Giannis Antetokounmpo.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Analysts mocked the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/milwaukee-bucks-t100207&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Milwaukee Bucks&lt;/a&gt; in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt; Draft&lt;/strong&gt; for reaching and claimed that he was multiple years away from being a borderline role player.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Fast-forward to today and not only Giannis has become &lt;strong&gt;one of the league's marksmen &lt;/strong&gt;but he&amp;nbsp;also has the chance to win his very first NBA Championship faster than most of the greatest players in NBA history.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Giannis has won nearly everything you could win on an individual level in the NBA and is now on the verge of&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rings-teams-with-most-championships-20200929-0008.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;getting a ring&lt;/a&gt; as well&lt;/strong&gt;. That's a&lt;strong&gt; Hall of Fame kind of r&eacute;sum&eacute;&lt;/strong&gt; before turning 30 years old.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Nick Wright: Giannis Will Take Down LeBron As The NBA's Best Player&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;That's why even&lt;strong&gt; bonafide LeBron James stan Nick Wright &lt;/strong&gt;went as far as to say&amp;nbsp;that, should he beat the &lt;strong&gt;Phoenix Suns&lt;/strong&gt; in the &lt;strong&gt;NBA Finals&lt;/strong&gt;, he can finally take the crown from The King's head and claim his spot as the best player in the Association:&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;I think officially, potentially, if they finish it off, (he can) take the crown from LeBron. If the&amp;nbsp;Bucks can win the NBA Finals, Giannis can take the crown from LeBron,&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Wright said on his show.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt; &quot;LeBron has been the best player in the league since May 31, 2007 (the 48-special vs. Detroit) until right now. That&rsquo;s a 14-year reign at the top of the league.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Giannis is making a case that he&rsquo;s about to end LeBron&rsquo;s run,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; he added on Twitter.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;This is unheard of, given the fact that Wright hasn't exactly been the most objective analyst in the league, let alone when it comes to talking about LeBron James. But boy, &lt;strong&gt;was he on point this time.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;While James hasn't won an MVP winner in a while and other players have been better than him on a yearly basis, he's still the guy to take down in the NBA. So maybe, just maybe, we already know &lt;strong&gt;who's sitting on the throne for the next decade or so.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

NBA analyst says Giannis Antetokounmpo can pass LeBron James with a title vs. Suns

&lt;p&gt;For decades, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/The-25-NBA-teams-with-most-fans-20200423-0002.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hoops fans&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and children alike have patiently waited to witness &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt; stars and&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;LooneyTunes &lt;/strong&gt;team up to save the galaxy, the same way it happened when&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Michael Jordan&lt;/a&gt; starred on Space Jam.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;After years of waiting, we're finally on the verge of witnessing another side of the story. &lt;strong&gt;Space Jam: A New Legacy&lt;/strong&gt;, once again brings together the life of a basketball superstar with a cartoon universe.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nonetheless, even though &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/lebron-james-t92259&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LeBron James&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has gotten some positive comments on his acting, it seems like critics just can't stand the movie, as they've given it a &lt;strong&gt;43% score on Rotten Tomatoes &lt;/strong&gt;along with some pretty harsh reviews.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Critics Completely Hated LeBron James' Space Jam: A New Legacy&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Transcript via ClutchPoints)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago-Sun Times:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve never seen anything like it. I also hope to never see anything like it again, and I wish I could unsee what I HAVE seen.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arizona Republic:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&ldquo;James is an engaging presence, but as this season with the Lakers proved, he alone just isn&rsquo;t enough.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New York Magazine/Vulture:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&ldquo;It fills a two-hour hole in the schedule, which will keep parents happy, and it brandishes the brand, which will keep shareholders happy. Whether it could have also been a good movie might not have crossed anyone&rsquo;s mind.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The New York Times:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&ldquo;Several jokes actually stick. But the purposeful sensory overload mostly yields head-spinning stupefaction, leaving a viewer feeling like Wile E. Coyote after hitting a mesa wall.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Hollywood Reporter: &lt;/strong&gt;&ldquo;&lt;em&gt;To whom this is meant to appeal is anyone&rsquo;s guess, except presumably the studio&rsquo;s marketing department.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Atlantic:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&ldquo;Space Jam: A New Legacy feels like a preview of a more terrifying, siloed future, one in which having an encyclopedic media library is more important than enjoying the work right in front of you.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Variety:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;&ldquo;Did the Goon Squad just dunk on LeBron James? Who cares when our eyeballs are busy identifying a group of rowdy fans as the Droogs from &lsquo;A Clockwork Orange.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Channel Awesome:&lt;/strong&gt; &ldquo;&lt;em&gt;Awkward garbage fluff&hellip;but it&rsquo;s very entertaining awkward garbage fluff.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Then again, let's be honest for a second here. It's not like we're watching a WWII documentary. It's a movie about &lt;strong&gt;an NBA player teaming up with Buggs Bunny&lt;/strong&gt; to beat some goons from outer space, so maybe we should go easy on them.&lt;/p&gt;

LeBron James' Space Jam is getting completely destroyed by critics

Olympic Games: Top 25 Olympic athletes turned actors

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-all-nba-champions-by-year-20210701-0003.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NBA Finals&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are underway which means the &lt;strong&gt;2021 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt; season&lt;/strong&gt; has almost come to an end.

&lt;p&gt;For the first time in years, we won't witness any big-market teams go at it to earn basketball's ultimate honor. And, while that could be boring&lt;strong&gt; for casual fans,&lt;/strong&gt; most people believe that it's actually good for the game.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;But, who'll win? The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/phoenix-suns-t94622&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Phoenix Suns&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; have an up-and-coming team and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/milwaukee-bucks-t100207&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Milwaukee Bucks&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;are just so deep. Then again, the Suns have something the Bucks don't, which is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/lebron-james-t92259&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;LeBron James'&lt;/a&gt; support.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;LeBron James Says The Phoenix Suns Will Win The NBA Finals&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;It's not a secret that&lt;strong&gt; LeBron James and Chris Paul h&lt;/strong&gt;old a close friendship since they made it to the league. It's not unusual to see them together on vacation alongside&lt;strong&gt; Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; data-height=&quot;256&quot; data-size=&quot;w:586,h:256&quot; data-width=&quot;586&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;/export/sites/bolavip/img/2021/07/08/lebron_james_reacciono_a_la_victoria_de_paul_y_suns_en_nba_finales_2021_png_1571603843.png_1571603843.png&quot; title=&quot;&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot;&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;This is why it doesn't come as a surprise to see that &lt;em&gt;The King&lt;/em&gt; is&lt;strong&gt; rooting for his lifelong friend,&lt;/strong&gt; as he showed on Twitter right after the Suns took the first game of the series on Tuesday night.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Suns look like a slightly better team and&lt;strong&gt; Giannis Antetokounmpo's&lt;/strong&gt; knee could be a huge concern for the Bucks. Nonetheless, &lt;strong&gt;Mike Budenholzer's&lt;/strong&gt; team managed to fight through adversity over and over in the playoffs.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div class=&quot;ck-related-news&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;span data-src=&quot;/usa/contenidos/2021/06/21/noticia_0007.html&quot; data-type=&quot;news&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
 &lt;div id=&quot;relatedNews-8&quot;&gt;
   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Chances are that this series will&lt;strong&gt; go to 7 games&lt;/strong&gt; even if the Suns go ahead and take Game 2 tonight. The Bucks are just too good at home and coach Bud has made some nice - although not always timely - adjustments during the series.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;So, maybe, we'll get to watch LeBron James on the sidelines rooting for his friend and giving him a few pointers, as not many people on Earth know what it's like to play at that stage&lt;strong&gt; as well as James does.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

LeBron James makes his prediction for the NBA Finals

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt; playoffs&lt;/strong&gt; have been great and exciting but far from perfect. Some of the best players in the world &lt;strong&gt;(&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/kyrie-irving-t159843&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kyrie Irving&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/james-harden-t120183&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;James Harden&lt;/a&gt;, Trae Young, Anthony Davis)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;have missed time due to injury when it matters the most.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;And, while some people want to blame the NBA &lt;strong&gt;for the short offseason&lt;/strong&gt; they had in an attempt to reshape their schedule back to normal, others believe that it's just a part of the game and no one is to blame.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/lebron-james-t92259&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;LeBron James&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;seems to be a part of the first group of people, as he recently slammed the NBA for not listening to him about&lt;strong&gt; starting the season too soon&lt;/strong&gt; and the burden that could take on a player's body.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;LeBron James Slams The NBA Over Tough Schedule&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;They all didn't wanna listen to me about the start of the season. I knew exactly what would happen. I only wanted to protect the well being of the players which ultimately is the PRODUCT &amp;amp; BENEFIT of OUR GAME! &lt;strong&gt;These injuries isn't just 'PART OF THE GAME.' It's the lack of PURE RIM REST before starting back up,&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; &lt;/em&gt;James tweeted.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;This is the best time of the year for our league and fans but missing a ton of our fav players. It's insane.If there's one person that know about the body and how it works all year round it's ME! I speak for the health of all our players and I hate to see this many injuries this time of the year. &lt;strong&gt;Sorry fans wish you guys were seeing all your fav guys right now,&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;&lt;/em&gt; LeBron added.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Shaquille O'Neal Shuts Down LeBron James' Comments&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shaquille O'Neal,&lt;/strong&gt; however, didn't seem to think the same way as LeBron James, as he recently said that a player who's only asked to work for a couple of hours a day and makes $200 million shouldn't complain about having to play:&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;When you&rsquo;re living in a world where 40 million people have been laid off and I&rsquo;m making $200 million, you won&rsquo;t get no complaining from me,&rdquo; &lt;/em&gt;O&rsquo;Neal said. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;I&rsquo;d play back to back to back to back to back.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not knocking what anybody said, but me personally, I don&rsquo;t complain and make excuses, because real people are working their tail off and &lt;strong&gt;all we gotta do is train two hours a day and then play a game for two hours at night and make a lot of money (...) So my thought process is a little different&lt;/strong&gt;,&quot; &lt;/em&gt;Shaq added.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div class=&quot;ck-related-news&quot;&gt;

   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;In all fairness, most of the players that were hurt didn't make it far into last year's playoffs, so they had&lt;strong&gt; the same time to rest as they usually do.&lt;/strong&gt; On the other hand, you can't deny that these have been the most injury-riddled playoffs we've seen in a while.&lt;/p&gt;
