LeBron James is currently playing his 21st NBA season and has been facing scrutiny ever since he entered the league. However, taking his side an NBA legend decided to give a piece of his mind to the NBA world. Larry Bird, a basketball icon in his own right, is noted for his straightforward approach and respect for the game. He recently sent a message to basketball fans worldwide and told them to quit complaining about the 39-year-old superstar and respect him while he’s still playing.

In a world full of constant criticism and comparison, Bird’s remarks carry a lot of weight and his urging everyone to appreciate James’ magnificence while it lasts is a great gesture on his path. So, looking at this even the Akron Hammer was pleased and gave a shoutout to the legend on his social media.
