Kevin Garnett dropped a controversial take on this Friday, urging fans to snub LeBron James when casting All-Star votes. The Big Ticket claimed that Bron doesn’t want to participate after sitting out last year’s game due to foot and ankle issues.
Garnett tried to validate his bold claim, saying that they need to waste votes on someone who won’t play. But the internet wasn’t buying KG’s odd logic.
They didn’t shy away from clapping back at them hard, calling out the Hall of Famer and his co-host Paul Pierce for their well-documented LeBron bias.

Just to recap, the beef between Garnett, Pierce, and LeBron runs very deep. According to Kendrick Perkins, the feud dates back to 2004, when Pierce spat toward the Cavs bench during a preseason game.
Young LeBron had just been crowned “The Chosen One,” and Pierce wanted to put him in his place. Since then, people think they carry genuine blood that never fades, actually.
On his KG Certified podcast, Garnett stated, “Listen, all you people out there that are going to vote for Bron, save your vote. He didn’t play last year. Why would you expect him to play this year?”

However, fans on social media made it clear that they will not put their vote for anyone else without The King, torching both podcasters in a savage way.
One fan wrote, “Bro hate LeBron with all his energy. Bro really balled his fist up because Ray dap up Lebron and not him.”
Another fan noted, “Don’t nobody wanna see you Otis! But everybody wants to see LEBRON GOAT KING JAMES! Stop hating.”
A third claimed, “Two big LeBron haters talking to each other.”
The fourth claimed, “KG and Paul Pierce does not have subject other than LBJ. OMG.”
A fifth one remarked, “Shut up you don’t tell me what to do. Can your little Podcast survive without mentioning LeBron?”
The King lives rent-free in their heads, and it shows every single episode. But fans this time offered some blunt replies that should have been done a long time before. Garnett did, however, acknowledge Austin Reaves as someone deserving of All-Star consideration based on his play from the Lakers roster.
But the anti-LeBron agenda overshadowed any reasonable basketball analysis KG attempted to provide.
