Although many people think LeBron James is one of the best players in history, he has recently come under fire from supporters who claim that he lacks offensive firepower, deft footwork, exceptional ball-handling skills, and recognizable moves.

The Los Angeles Lakers veteran has now devised the ideal answer. In a recent podcast, he addressed the criticism indirectly by saying, "I'll be on social media like, 'LeBron has no bag.' And I'm sitting here thinking... what? I've got like 50 billion points."

A former NBA player also recently encouraged LeBron to think about retiring. In a podcast interview, Olden Polynice said, "I believe that the longevity piece is now becoming a little bit excessive."

Because I'm thinking, "Dude, what else do you want me to do? You should begin considering retirement now. Unless he purchases one, he won't be receiving a fifth ring. He continued, "It's not going to happen."

When asked to choose his all-time NBA starting five, Shaquille O'Neal likewise recently snubbed LeBron. O'Neal stated, "[Stephen] Curry at the one, Kobe [Bryant] at the two, and [Michael] Jordan at the three." I'm at the five and Tim Duncan is at the four. That team is unbeatable by anyone.

"I don't know how your guy's going to edit it," he said when asked about ignoring LeBron.

"But let's pretend I did that to someone who didn't like us, and they'll start with 'Shaq excludes LeBron.'" Additionally, it fosters needless conflict. I detest making these lists since I don't want others to assume that I'm disrespecting them, he continued.
