Former NBA host Michelle Beadle and LeBron James had a bad past. Beadle says that when she was employed at ESPN, James made many attempts to get her dismissed. Furthermore, she has repeatedly attacked him in the media. At one point, she even said that James DM’d her to ask why she was so cruel to him on television.

Michelle Beadle did not like the way that LeBron and Bronny James’ first NBA moment together was presented on TV. She described the scene as artificial and inorganic, saying it seemed fake when speaking on ‘Run It Back.’ Overall, she did not like how the scene was shown.

Beadle said, “Russell Westbrook made it to the league on his own and did all that by himself. If this isn’t manufactured, then I don’t know what the word manufactured means. But, again, I am not impressed, and I thought this was so ridiculous.”

Therefore, Beadle’s disapproval of the James family’s appearance in the court is hardly shocking. Despite Beadle’s antics, there is no doubt how unique it was for the league to have LeBron and Bronny James buddies. It was an incredible experience to watch one of the greatest players of all time play with his kid.

Michelle Beadle Also Takes Aim At LeBron James And Bronny’s Hilarious Nike Commercial

Michelle Beadle’s criticism of LeBron James and Bronny’s on-court antics wasn’t the only thing she said. Nike launched a commercial with LeBron pulling a rookie joke on his kid before their first game. Taking offense at the commercial, Beadle even said she would sooner put her family in danger than watch it again.

Beadle said, “Of course, there was a commercial. This whole thing is well-planned. I almost wish my family could just be kidnapped and be taken hostage for life rather than ever seeing that again…”

Although one may argue that Beadle is arguing in bad faith, there is some truth to her critique of the moment the two spent together on the court. However, it is inappropriate to criticize an advertisement created for entertaining purposes. You shouldn’t be shocked if Beadle continues to have a negative opinion of LeBron and Bronny James far into the NBA season.
