Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James recently appeared on the Bob Does Sports talk show. And during his appearance, he made some disparaging remarks about the city of Memphis.

LeBron Wants NBA to Move the Grizzlies From Memphis

LeBron appears on the show while playing a round of golf. And one of the questions that he is asked is if it is harder for him to travel for 82 games a season now that he is in his forties. He affirmed that travel is more difficult and used having to travel to Memphis to play the Grizzlies each year to strengthen his point.

 “Yeah, random f—ing Tuesday in Milwaukee, staying at the f—ing Hyatt at 41 years old. You think I wanna do that shit? Being in Memphis on a random ass Thursday,” he said, as caught by CBS Sports.

“I’m not like the first guy even to talk about in the NBA,” James added. “Like, we’re all like, ‘You guys have to move.’ Go over to Nashville, you’ve got Vanderbilt over there, you’ve got the f—ing NASCAR, you’ve got a stadium. Don’t they have a hockey team too? They’ve got everything.”

Of course, Grizzlies fans and Memphis natives on social media were not too happy about James’ remarks.

“Hating on BBQ, Blues, Eightball & MJG, Three Six Mafia and Young Dolp is crazy,” one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Hating on BBQ, Blues, Eightball & MJG, Three Six Mafia, and Young Dolp is crazy,” a second user added.

“Major Black city in America, strategically underfunded. Instead of saying, fix Memphis, he tells the team to move to Nashville!!!! Just to cause more economic pain in the city,” a third user said.

At the time of writing, LeBron has not released a statement in response to the backlash for his comments. Stay tuned for more updates.
