"How is this man better than Jordan?": Irate NBA fans rip LeBron James for bricking easy layups

NBA fans were miffed at LeBron James for missing easy layups that eventually factored in the LA Lakers' 116-102 loss to crosstown rivals, the LA Clippers. The 4x NBA champion was guilty of missing key shots that would have been a cakewalk for him, as the Lakers continued to play catchup for the whole second half of the game. The loss now sees their two-game win streak come to a halt.

The James over Michael Jordan supporters were called out, with one fan responding to a clip of James' missed layups.

Not mincing any words, the fan wrote:

"How is this man better than Jordan?"

Another fan called out the entire Lakers unit.

"The whole Lakers team stinks tonight …💀😬"

A fan accused James of stat-padding.

"He wants that record of being the first Laker with a triple-double at Intuit"

An Angel Reese comparison came in as well.

"Damn Lebron done turned into Angel Reese 😭 Kobe was always my goat anyway. Then Steph then Draymond then Lebron"

The LeFraud takes didn't cease either.

"Hahaha get him outta here!!! That fraud deserves to retire and get out of the United States!!!"

LeBron James scored 25 points, but his efforts were fueled by a torrid 9-20 shooting from the field and 2-6 from the deep. He also went 5-6 from the charity stripe and ended his evening with five rebounds and 11 assists. However, the 40-year-old's double-double was not enough to propel LA to a win.
