Giannis Antetokounmpo has said repeatedly that he considers LeBron James one of the greatest players of all time. The Milwaukee Bucks forward reiterated this to James’ haters on Monday, after James called them out on the latest episode of “Mind the Game.”
Haters of the Los Angeles Lakers star complained that “LeBron has no bag,” to which James hilariously replied, “LeBron has no bag, and I’m sitting here with 50 billion points.”
Antetokounmpo took to X on Monday to further call out James’ haters. He said, “If they’re people out there that believe that one of the greatest players to ever be on earth has no bag… Man I’ve seen it all 🤦️”
James averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists last season as a 40-year-old. He was 13th on the 2024-25 NBA points leaderboard, which is no small feat.

Antetokounmpo included James in his best five, which also included Steph Curry, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant. He is enjoying his time this offseason, paying little heed to trade rumors linking him to different clubs.
But the rumors have since started to die down, with insiders confirming that Antetokounmpo has no wish to leave Milwaukee.
“The common belief amongst league insiders that he will remain with the only franchise he’s ever played for,” Jake Fischer revealed on Bleacher Report’s NBA Insider Notebook. “That confidence has been replaced with skepticism. To a man, from talking to agents, team executives, whoever, there is not a lot of belief right now at this juncture.”
“It’s only June 5th — anything could happen — and I’ve been told all along that if there is a decision, a formal decision made to shut or open the door on trade conversations for Giannis this summer, that it would likely happen closer to the end of June and when the offseason really, really begins,” he added.
