LeBron James has apparently caught wind that the Denver Nuggets have been trolling him this past week.
During an appearance on the Pat McAfee after winning the title, Nuggets head coach Michael Malone mocked LeBron by pretending to retire.
"I'm thinking about retiring" πππ

During the team’s championship parade, Nuggets announcer Vic Lombardi declared Malone, the Lakers’ daddy.
“He came into this world as the son of a coach, but in these playoffs, he became the Lakers daddy!”

LeBron, who is currently in France for the Le Mans race, posted an utterly non-sensical post apparently responding to the Nuggets trolling in which he compares himself to the sun.
“In Europe for the last few weeks minding my business, and I hear Iβm on your mind that much huh??? I mean I guess I see why. :man-shrugging::skin-tone-5: But Wave the flag on these lames!! Please make being player cool again cause the lame machine is at an all-time high. Enjoy your light but just know Iβm the SUN. I stay on forever’
Nuggets fans mocked LeBron over his post.
Last time I checked the SUN has never been swept in a WCF https://t.co/UGNExXzs7c
