Analyst who accused LeBron James got her fired gives brutal 1/10 rating to Nike commercial with Bronny

Former ESPN analyst Michelle Beadle has expressed her opinion on the new Nike commercial featuring LeBron James and his son Bronny James. The "Run it Back" podcast's X account shared a clip of Wednesday's episode.

The podcast's hosts played the commercial from LeBron's X account and asked Beadle for her thoughts about it.

"I almost wish that my parents like my family could be kidnapped and taken hostage for life rather than ever seeing that again," Beadle said. "So, I don't know was that a 1?"

On the other hand, Candler Parsons appreciated its concept but did not like the commercial from a creative aspect, while Lou Williams focused on the significance of Bronny playing alongside his father.

Michelle Beadle accused LeBron James of getting her fired at ESPN's NBA countdown on the "Awful Announcing" podcast on Oct. 5, 2023.

"In all the chaos that ensued after I left, all this other information started coming out," Beadle said. "I kind of got wind of it as I was leaving. And then more stuff came out, and I was just like, 'What a cr*p show!' You know, he’s a powerful dude. I mean, all the respect for building such a powerful entity on a name and doing it well. So, yeah, people are going to listen."

Moreover, Beadle also claimed that LeBron James sent her many flower bouquets which she interpreted as the Lakers star's way of apologizing.
