One of the most vocal critics of LeBron James spoke up. LeBron James is disliked by few in NBA history more than two-time All-Star Joakim Noah. So much so that Noah and James haven’t reconciled even over ten years after their quarrel.
Noah talked about his distaste for LeBron James and his beef with him on the most recent episode of The OGs, which included Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem.
About settling his disagreement with LeBron James, Noah stated,
“Nope, we haven’t,”
“People have to understand that it had nothing to do with Cleveland. It had everything to do with that mother*****r, LeBron James! Every year you’re losing, you know you have to get through him. That’s where it came from, like, LeBron was so good, he was stunting on us. He was stunting on us. He over here dancing before the game. I see this sh*t, this sh*t drove me fu**ng nuts! So I had to let em know.”
To be completely honest, the main reason for Noah’s distaste is that LeBron James would enjoy himself more while winning the game than him. Joakim Noah probably wouldn’t be as hostile toward James if the Chicago Bulls ever defeated the Miami Heat or Cleveland Cavaliers.
LeBron James is 39 years old, and Joakin Noah is 39 as well. Everyone enjoys an ol’ fashioned sports rivalry, but maybe it’s time for both parties to move on from this one.
