The Los Angeles Lakers star appeared to respond to the Denver Nuggets coach's retirement barb in an Instagram post on Friday.
Malone was, of course, mocking James for floating the potential of retirement immediately following the Nuggets' sweep of the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. Some criticized James for taking attention away from Denver clinching its first Finals appearance by surprisingly putting his playing career in doubt. And it seems Malone, who wasof the Lakers during the conference finals, may have shared similar feelings.
The first Nuggets-Lakers game of the 2023-24 NBA season was already going to be must-see TV. But this James-Malone beef adds yet another level of intrigue to the matchup...as long as neither actually retires. The Denver Nuggets won the NBA championship for the first time in franchise history, topping the Miami Heat in five games.
