LeBron James is paying on a prime level, gets disrespected, Ric Flair comes to defend him

LeBron James has been playing through an injury in the last few games, still, he has been unstoppable and has been pulling out one of his most effective seasons so far.

The sports world has been surrendering to LeBron James' game, especially after accomplishing the ultimate milestone of being the first player in the NBA ever to make it to the 39K scored points mark in the regular season.

Pro wrestling icon Ric Flair is ready to take on anyone who is doubting the Los Angeles Lakers superstar. After Alan Hahn recently called James an old man, Flair, himself 74 years old, told Shannon Sharpe he was ready to inflict some harm on the ESPN analyst.

"Alan Hahn called LeBron James an old man. What an insult. I wanted to jump through the TV and strangle this guy... What record does LeBron need to break?" said Ric Flair to Shannon Sharpe.

LeBron James wants to win the NBA's first In-Season Tournament

One former NBA player said James is looking to win the first NBA Cup so he can add it to his credentials for consideration as the greatest player of all time when compared to Michael Jordan. It is rare to accomplish something no other team has ever done before, but this new competition does provide James and the Lakers such an opportunity.
