Jalen Rose's daughter makes her feelings clear on LeBron James's 'toxically masculine' fanbase: "I don't think Michael Jordan had that"

Jalen Rose's daughter, Mariah Rose, spoke about LeBron James's fanbase on Twitter on Monday. Rose is known for creating reaction videos about trendy topics in the sports world and dedicated a video to discuss James's fanbase on his 40th birthday.

In Rose's video, she acknowledged that James might be the Greatest of All Time and then explained her thoughts about the way his fans behaved online.

"LeBron James might be the GOAT because he's got the most toxically masculine homophobic man you know, calling him Pookie Bear," Mariah pointed out. "I don't think Michael Jordan had that."

LeBron James celebrates his 40th birthday during Lakers' practice

The LA Lakers celebrated the King's 40th birthday on Monday during practice. The Lakers gave James a surprise, complete with a birthday cake and a birthday song. The singing by the rookies was led by James's son, Bronny James. The junior James serenaded his father alongside fellow Lakers Dalton Knecht, Quincy Olivari and Armel Traore.

LeBron James then reflected on being the only 40-year-old in the NBA. Speaking to the press after practice, James pointed out that he knew he could still perform in the same fashion for the next five to seven seasons if he wanted to.

“To be honest, if I really wanted to, I could probably play this game at a high level probably for about another — it’s weird that I might say this — but probably about another five to seven years,” James said. “But I’m not going to do that.”

In what could be a fitting matchup to mark his first appearance on court after turning 40, the Lakers will face James's first NBA team, the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. All eyes will undoubtedly be on the Lakers superstar as the basketball world looks to see how much longer he can play at a high level.
