LeBron James took more shots at the Grizzlies on social media after the Lakers destroyed Memphis

If there’s one thing we’ve come to learn about LeBron James in his *checks notes* 20 years in the NBA, it’s that the dude is incredibly petty.

Everyone remembers when he wore the Ultimate Warrior shirt with a Kermit hat after coming back from a 3-1 series deficit against the Warriors in the 2016 Finals. This dude lives for these moments.

So it’s not shocking at all that James is still taking shots at the Grizzlies after the Lakers beat Memphis by 40 points to close out their series in Game 6. It’s not enough that James beat them. Nah. He’s going to make sure it’s felt.

He didn’t shake hands with the Grizzlies players at all after the game. But we already knew that, though.

Today, he continued the shenanigans. First, he posted on Instagram with a quite from rapper Mystikal — “If you ever see me in the forest with a Grizzly bear, help the bear.”

If that wasn’t enough, he also hopped on Twitter to quote a JAY Z lyric from his song “Trouble.”

Yeah, this is a pretty direct response to Dillon Brooks calling Bron old. He very much did not like that.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — this is amazing theater. Sports is better with rivalries. This is definitely going to go down as a pretty good one. We need more.
