Apparently still salty after his Los Angeles Lakers got swept by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals, LeBron is throwing shade at Nuggets coach Michael Malone.
It all started just before Denver’s championship parade Thursday, when Malone trolled LeBron on The Pat McAfee Show.
“Speaking of the Lakers, I just want you guys to know… this is breaking news: I’m thinking about retiring,” Malone joked — of course referring to LeBron James retirement rumors.
The arrest comes a month after Bob Huggins used an anti-gay slur during a radio appearance, putting him on thin ice with West Virginia’s decision-makers.
