Pero Antic criticizes LeBron James and his impact on the NBA

Former NBA player Pero Antic has criticized LeBron James, stating that James has “ruined the NBA” and expressing disdain for his comparisons to legends like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

In a recent interview on the Jao Mile podcast, Antic criticized James’s pursuit of the all-time scoring record and his desire to play on the same team as his son, Bronny James. Antic, who played for the Atlanta Hawks, recalled their physical rivalry during the 2015 Eastern Conference Finals, specifically referencing a moment in Game 2 where he was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for pushing James mid-air.

Antic expressed that his negative view of James has persisted since their time playing against one another, noting that he did not hesitate to play physically against him on the court.
