James and the Los Angeles Lakers are in crisis and have lost three straight games, including a 37-point loss to the denver Nuggets. Following Magic Johnson's public attack on the Lakers, Kwame Brown, a former "parallelist" who once played for the Lakers, also stood up to attack James and the Lakers, accusing James of imitating Curry's way of shooting too many three-pointers and calling on the Lakers to give Howard more interior tactics.
So far, this is the Lakers' biggest crisis of the season, and even the Lakers' famous magician Johnson publicly attacked the Lakers on social media. When you become the Lakers, the NBA's most famous team led by James, the league's most famous team, criticism will naturally come from all directions, including former Lakers player Kwame Brown.
The former champion publicly slammed James, accusing him of trying to become as reliant on long-range shooting as Stephen Curry, "You can't float all day on the outside three-point line, it doesn't work." ”
According to Kwame Brown, the Lakers should hit the ball inside and use their big man for a paint-centric offense. Kwame Brown specifically pointed out Howard because the Lakers need to focus more on their offense, in part to give him momentum defensively as well.
"I know if I were the big guy on that team, I would run around, deliberately go foul and roll off the field. Because they know they're not welcome, they know none of you are using them in the right way. Howard, poor Howard. He sinks on the bench, I don't know why, you expect a man in his 30s to be ready to defend immediately after sitting for so long, that can only be good luck. ”
Despite respect for Kwame Brown, the Lakers' problems seem far more complicated than simply digging in from the three-point line and "feeding Howard." The Lakers' lineup construction tends to be chaotic, and the team naturally misses the thick eyebrow brother very much.
There is no doubt that victory is the way to silence all critics. If the Lakers can't do that, then the criticism of Magic Johnson and Kwame Brown from around the world will continue to exist.
