Marreese Speights has gotten himself in a lot of trouble after he seemingly took a shot at LeBron James and his fourth title on social media. Speights shared a picture shading LeBron for winning four championships in 10 tries, which prompted LeBron’s fans to attack Mo. The former NBA player would clarify he didn’t mean to disrespect LeBron, as he was one of the greatest players in history.
“I’m not hating on LeBron. He’s a great player. For me to play against Kobe and Bron it’s like night and day. You gotta be respectful of Kobe and MJ’s name.”
However, fans weren’t pleased with this and Speights had to go private on Twitter.
One person that appears to agree with Speights is the Los Angeles Clippers big man Montrezl Harrell, who sent a cryptic message to Speights after his tweet went viral. If you’ve been following the NBA, you should know that the Clippers and Lakers were seen as the biggest favorites to win the NBA title this season, but only one of them could live up to the hype.

The Clippers dramatically collapsed in the West semis against the Denver Nuggets, blowing a 3-1 lead. If Harrell was trying to join Speights’ attack on LeBron, that is a wack move. He didn’t win anything and didn’t help his team against the Nuggets so this was a very bad decision for Trez. You can always say this is part of the rivalry but as things stand now, the Clippers are away to be a rival for the Lakers.
