LeBron James, the star player of the Los Angeles Lakers, has achieved numerous milestones throughout his professional career. The four-time NBA champion has amassed a large fan base due to his exceptional skills and accomplishments, but he has also faced criticism.
Enes Kanter Freedom, who most recently played for the Boston Celtics in the NBA, is one of the individuals who has frequently criticized James, including during an on-court altercation between the two players.
In a recent appearance on OutKick’s “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich,” Kanter Freedom criticized LeBron James, calling him the “dictator of the NBA” who controls everything and suggesting that going against him could lead to being traded.
“When I see a dictator, I know it – LeBron is literally like the dictator of the NBA. He controls the media, he controls his narrative, if you go against his agenda, you get traded, everybody knows it.” Kanter Freedom said.
Kanter Freedom Doubts Bronny James’ NBA Potential
Kanter Freedom expressed his thoughts about Bronny James joining the Lakers. The former player for the Boston Celtics stated that although Bronny may be a nice guy, he is not talented enough to play in the NBA. He went on to say that JJ Redick was chosen for the head coaching post, and Bronny was only chosen for the NBA because of LeBron James.
“He [Bronny James] might be a good dude, but he’s not good enough to play in the NBA. The reason he got drafted is because of LeBron, the reason JJ Redick is the coach is because of LeBron. No other player wants to go play with LeBron. You had so many other free agents. . . . No one wanted to go play with him because they know that it’s all about LeBron. They’re gonna get zero clout. . . . When the Lakers’ season fails, LeBron tries to find a player to blame, and he blames the whole season on Russell Westbrook, so he is not a good teammate. Obviously, he runs the media, and he tries to control this narrative, but when you actually know and have a conversation inside of the NBA and its players, nobody wants to play with him.” Kanter Freedom added.
