LeBron James did not like what the New York Knicks players said about him after the last night's game, so he decided to fire back. It all started with James' comments about the Knicks' draft pick this year, but it turned into much more as he got into a scuffle with Enes Kanter during the game last night. James tried to intimidate Frank Ntilikina, the rookie he talked about earlier, but Kanter did not like it.
At the end, it was the Cleveland Cavaliers forward who was victorious, leading his team to a big comeback win in New York. Surprisingly, some of the Knicks players did not let it go after the game. Kanter decided to keep talking about James, making fun of his nickname. "I don't care who you are. What do you call yourself, 'King,' 'Queen,' 'Princess,' whatever you are. We're going to fight. Nobody out there is going to punk us," said Kanter after the game.
LeBron said Kanter's postgame comments were corny, but he still decided to fire back. This time, the four-time MVP did not only take a shot at the Knicks, but at the entire New York.
LeBron is a master troll
Before the last night's game, LeBron James and his team took a subway to reach Madison Square Garden. It seemed that the Cavaliers enjoyed their subway trip as the players posted numerous videos of themselves having a good time. Metropolitan Transportation Authority noticed this and decided to thank LeBron, but they made it clear that the King of New York is Kristaps Porzingis.
New York Knicks and Porzingis had a big lead over the Cavaliers and it appeared they would win another game. However, LeBron led his team to a huge comeback victory, showing everyone who the true king is. James, however, took it one step further when he posted a photo on his Instagram profile, calling himself a King of New York!
Ouch. LeBron's Instagram post has become so popular that many fans reacted to it. Furthermore, some Knicks players also talked about it.
Kanter shares his comment
Enes Kanter once again talked about LeBron James as he reacted to the Instagram post. “We already have a king. It's Kristaps Porzingis," said the 25-year-old center.
Unfortunately, Porzingis had a poor performance last night, making only 33 percent of his shots. He struggled all night long and was one of the biggest reasons why the Knicks failed to keep their lead and win the game. On the other side, Kanter was the best player on the Knicks with 20 points and 16 rebounds.
