During the Denver Nuggets’ championship parade on Thursday, the team’s head coach, Michael Malone, made jokes about LeBron James considering retirement after losing to the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals. There was also an awkward moment at the rally where Malone was referred to as “the Lakers’ daddy.”
LeBron James Responds
LeBron James has since responded to the Nuggets’ jabs on his Instagram account. He posted a picture of himself waving the starting flag at 24 Hours of Le Mans and captioned it, “I’m on your mind that much huh??? I mean I guess I see why. 
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 I’m the SUN. I stay on forever!”
Implications
This response from James suggests that he was not pleased with the Nuggets’ comments and is not afraid to clap back. He also seems to be calling out the current state of the NBA and urging players to make it cool again.
Overall, this exchange highlights the competitive nature of the NBA and how players are always watching and listening to what others are saying about them. It also shows that LeBron James is not one to take jabs at him lightly and will respond if he feels disrespected.
