A call to an ESPN radio show in Los Angeles stunned the two hosts after they delivered a shocking anti-LeBron James tirade on live television.
The listener named Job called into the “Travis & Sliwa Show” and left the pair – Travis Rodgers and Allen Sliwa – in disbelief at his argument against the Lakers forward.
The caller began his tirade by saying he was “not a LeBron James fan” before the two hosts asked why, opening the proverbial rabbit hole from which the rest of the rant sprung.
“I'm generally not into people who are just full of themselves, and I don't think there's ever been another athlete more full of themselves than him,” Job began.
“Anyone who calls themselves the best player of all time… They don't call themselves the best player of all time.” You let other people say it. We don't need to hear you say it.'
ESPN radio hosts Travis Rodgers and Allen Sliwa were left in disbelief after a caller's tirade
The caller claimed that Lakers forward LeBron James is overrated, arrogant and doesn't shoot properly
“Jokic is a much better player than LeBron,” he continued. “LeBron has cared about something his whole life.”
Sliwa then tried to argue that the personalities of other athletes who were in the conversation for the best of all time were not liked by every single fan, but that did not detract from their achievements.
“My point is also, if you just want to say basketball, I played a lot of basketball and was involved in it a lot.” “It comes down to feel for the ball,” Job continued.
“I never liked the way he shoots, I don't like how much touch he has.” “Paul Gasol, Jokic, these guys have these beautiful shots.”
