LeBron James Upsets the NBA GMs and Shares Critical Opinion on NFL

The 33 years old NBA superstar, LeBron James, has a global fan following. With his game and skills in the basketball arena, he has won hearts of millions of NBA fans. At this moment, he is going through a decisive phase of his professional basketball career. Strong rumors are there regarding his new friendships. In the last few weeks, he has made some friends, and that is known to everyone. Among those friends, critics of NFL can be named. His recent closeness with critics of the NFL owners has started a lot of rumors. In a recent interview, LeBron James hurled strong criticism against NFL owner.

In the interview, he stated that NFL owners are nothing but a bunch of “old white men.” Nevertheless, he also alleged that the NFL owners possess slave mentality. James did not hold back to his word. He was brutally honest with his opinion and never tried acting as diplomat in the same interview. He said that NFL owners handle things in the dictatorship way. Everything will be done as per their wishes. If someone does not like it, he would be asked to stay away from the NFL. With such serious allegations, LeBron James has stirred a lot of controversies.

Surprisingly, he did not restrict his opinion for the NFL only, as he also took a stand against the NBA. Comparing NBA with NFL, he mentioned that things are not different in the case of NBA as well. This would upset the NBA owners, as his statement has stirred up huge controversies in such a season when playing quality has improved, and games have become more exciting due to certain changes in rules. Gurley, a star from Los Angeles Rams, was the guest of that show. Both of them had expressed their opinions on various things in that particular interview.

It is notable that LeBron James has come up with heavy criticisms by comparing NFL to NBA. However, at the same time, he had mentioned some differences between the two in that same interview. According to him, in NBA players are allowed to flourish as per their potentials. It does not happen in the case of NFL. Players are not allowed to flourish. He said that players do not get enough freedom and opportunities to showcase their skills. Well, Gurley had echoed James in that same interview to some extent.

Gurley, who was also a guest in the same interview, stated that a player is always judged by availability, not ability. Due to this reason, good players are not appreciated. Skills are not given importance since the ability of the players is not checked properly. At the end part of the interview, James had added some kind words for the NBA owners. He appreciated the efforts of Adam Silver and mentioned that Adam Silver believes in giving freedom to the players. But, controversy has already stirred, and experts believe that the last words in that interview were nothing but damage control efforts.
