No player is afraid of James? The US media posted a bunch of players saying that they were afraid of James, which was really a slap in the face

LeBron James is one of the greatest players of all time, and in recent seasons he has been in some doubt because he failed to lead his team to a championship because he didn't focus on the game as he has done in the past.

Recently, players such as Arenas, Haslem and Mario Chalmers have often criticized LeBron James on podcasts, claiming that LeBron James is overrated.

Recently, O'Neal also publicly stated that NBA players are not afraid of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, but afraid of LeBron James, which has also caused a lot of controversy. O'Neill's remarks, like Mario Chalmers and others, have said similar things.

O'Neal said: "I heard the players say, including myself, that I was scared of Michael Jordan. I've heard players from Mario Champmos' generation say they were afraid of Kobe, and I've never really heard any players say they're afraid of LeBron. ”

O'Neal is a former teammate of LeBron James, and O'Neal has been a well-known NBA analyst over the years. And Mario Chalmers. is LeBron James's former Miami Heat teammate, and he won a championship with LeBron James when he was with the Heat.

"I'm basically saying that our opponents aren't afraid of Brown, like Danny Granger, Rohr Deng and Jimmy Butler," Mario Chalmers said. The guys that we've seen in the playoffs? They're not afraid of LeBron because the media is killing him the year LeBron came to Miami. ”

Garnett, as one of LeBron James's former strongest rivals in the East, has also expressed that he is not afraid of LeBron James. In a 2019 interview with Bill Simmons, Garnett said the Celtics had never been afraid of LeBron James.

Garnett: "Let me say something to you, we don't care about LeBron at all. We're not afraid of LeBron, and we don't think he's going to beat all five of us. That's how I feel. He's trying to consolidate because he doesn't want to put pressure on him. Do you understand?"

Many player media also criticized Garnett's remarks, saying that if the Celtics were not afraid of LeBron James, why did they have to use a pull-and-pull action on the defensive end in the face of LeBron James's offense. Because he was afraid that he would not be able to defend against LeBron James, he could only use this despicable defense in the end, saying that he was not afraid of the other party, which is ridiculous. For this reason, the American media "Fadeaway World" listed those players who claimed to be afraid of LeBron James.

When George Hill played for the Indiana Pacers, he played against the Miami Heat in the East, but he never broke through in the playoffs. Many people may have forgotten that he was the player who spearheaded the boycott in the closed park, when he played for the Bucks.

George Hill said of LeBron James that "there's only one person who is more terrible, and that's God." ”

Paul Millsap was once one of the best forwards in the league, and on "The Athletic", Paul Millsap admitted that LeBron James made himself scared, he was suppressed in the East for so many years, and finally went to the West, and as a result, LeBron James came to the Western Conference again.

Paul Millsap said, "I told him, man, I'm trying to get rid of you in the East. And then you came to the West. ”

When Paul Millsap played for the Hawks, he was unable to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James. When Paul Millsap joined the Western Nuggets, LeBron James also joined the Western Lakers in the 2018-19 season. Although the two didn't have much of a face-to-face in the playoffs, it still scared Paul Millsap.

DeRozan and Paul George both said that LeBron James's dominance in the East was too terrifying, and DeRozan and Paul George were both active stars. The two previously played for the Raptors and Pacers, respectively, but neither of them defeated LeBron James' team in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

"I think what stood out to me was the third game, which was my last year in Toronto, where he played the whole game, hit a key shot and it worked," DeRozan said. And just like that, my time in Toronto was over, that's all. We were 3-0 down and obviously we lost the fourth game. I wasn't there, I just remember him throwing a one-legged drift ball and it went in, and I thought, this is it, this is him. That thing must have bothered me. ”

Paul George played six playoff games with the Indiana Pacers, and he hasn't crossed the LeBron James mountain in the East. Whether LeBron James plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers or plays for the Miami Heat, Paul George has not been able to reach the Finals in the Eastern Conference playoffs with LeBron James.

Paul George said, "I feel like he's kicked me away, too manly." We played the first round with them and were defeated, and then they played the second round with you guys ... That was my last time in Indy, and he got me out of there too. ”

Today, LeBron James plays for the Lakers and Paul George plays for the Los Angeles Clippers, and the two have not played each other in the playoffs. And DeRozan was traded to the Spurs not long after LeBron James joined the Lakers, and he didn't play in the Western Conference playoffs.

Later, DeRozan was traded to the Chicago Bulls. Recently, LeBron James's former teammate Channingfrye supported LeBron James and debunked the false lies that claim that no one is afraid of LeBron James.

Channingfrye said, "You know who is afraid of LeBron James? Jordan, Kobe Bryant and even O'Neal are intimidating because of the rules, and you have to play one-on-one with them so they can embarrass you. ”

"LeBron's game wasn't like that. It's sane, like winning. So he's going to give you 50 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, but it's not going to be the same. In the 7th game, some players were afraid of him. This year's Lakers, LeBron is almost 40 years old, and no one wants to be the first to play against the Lakers in the first round. ”

Channingfrye believes that the current players are not as afraid of LeBron James as they are of Kobe and Michael Jordan. Because of LeBron James's style of play, but also his personality. However, that doesn't mean that the current players aren't afraid of LeBron James.

Of course, Channingfry's words are not necessarily correct, with the current fighting power of the Lakers and LeBron James, many playoff teams want to meet the Lakers in the first round. However, to say that he is not afraid of the 39-year-old LeBron James is to find an insult for himself.

Against the oldest player in the league, you are not afraid of him, but you still can't limit him on the defensive end, and you still let him play an average of 25+5+5 per game, which is a shame. In fact, if it were the Lakers in the 2019-20 season, it is estimated that no team would want to meet them now, and they would definitely be afraid of LeBron James.

Kendrick Perkins is also a former teammate of LeBron James, who was also a former Celtics player. Kendrick Perkins claimed on J.J. Reddick's podcast that he was genuinely scared to face LeBron James.

"We played the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2008 and that was Game 7," Perkins said. We just lost Game 6 and I don't want to lie, man. In the seventh game against LeBron James, I was very scared. It's the only time I've really prayed that something will happen to him while he's training. ”

In 2008, when the Boston Celtics formed their own Big Three, Kendrick Perkins said he was afraid of LeBron James and wasn't lying. At that time, the Celtics were afraid that LeBron James would play some great games, and often used some unconventional defensive moves.

At that time, players wanted to hurt LeBron James on the defensive end and then give the team some advantage. That's why Kendrick Perkins said he hoped that LeBron James would have some problems in training.

Even Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors has publicly stated that his teammates are afraid of LeBron James. Indeed, if the Golden State Warriors are not afraid of LeBron James, they will not recruit Kevin Durant in 2016, and they will rely on Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Iguodala and Klay Thompson to make a comeback in the new season.

The Golden State Warriors were afraid that they would not be able to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James next season, so they decided to recruit Kevin Durant. If you say that the Golden State Warriors are not afraid of LeBron James, why should they recruit Kevin Durant?

Draymond Green said: "I personally know that some people are afraid of LeBron James... I know a lot of people were and still are afraid of LeBron James. I've seen it. Sometimes my teammates are scared of LeBron James too. ”

Draymond Green is the four-time champion of the Golden State Warriors, in fact, everyone can guess which teammates Draymond Green is referring to. Draymond Green is the most outspoken player in the NBA, and when he says it, it's very credible.

It's a fact that NBA players are more afraid of Michael Jordan and Kobe than LeBron James. However, their style of play is different, and the times are different, so everyone's definition of fear is not necessarily the same. But that doesn't mean players aren't afraid of LeBron James.

LeBron James has 21 seasons in his career, reached the Finals 10 times, won four championships, four Finals MVPs, and four regular season MVPs. Today's players are still afraid of the physical LeBron James. Even though LeBron James is already the oldest player in the league, they still can't limit LeBron James well on the defensive end. All they can do against the league's oldest player is hope to drain his stamina and expect him to miss.
