Giannis Antetokounmpo claps back at fans pushing ‘no bag’ slander on his ‘GOAT’ LeBron James: “Man i’ve seen it all”

Giannis Antetokounmpo slammed the fans online for spreading the ‘no bag’ slander about LeBron James. On Monday, the Bucks superstar shared a post from a Lakers fan page on X (formerly Twitter) that featured a clip from the latest “Mind the Game” podcast.

In the clip, the Lakers superstar responded to his haters who slandered him with ‘no bag’ allegations. They criticized the 21-time All-Star for not having ball skills and the ability to score and James hit back with a metaphoric ’50 billion’ points claim.

Giannis Antetokounmpo connected with LeBron James’ sentiment and defended the Lakers superstar in the caption of his repost.

"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 💯🤦🏽‍♂️" he wrote.

When LeBron James claimed Giannis Antetokounmpo would have scored 250-points in the 1970s

In March, LeBron James appeared as a guest on "The Pat McAfee Show" and talked about basketball, his career and life. During a segment of the episode, McAfee's crew and James spoke on the different eras of basketball and its evolution to the present day.

While discussing it, King James name-dropped Giannis Antetokounmpo and claimed that the Bucks star would have scored 250 points in a single game in that era.

"You tryna tell me Giannis wouldn't be able to play an NBA game in the 70s?" Born said. "Giannis Antetokounmpo would have 250 points in a game in the 70s, 250 and that's no disrespect." (2:40)

He went on to name-drop his former teammate and now Dallas Mavericks player Kyrie Irving and said that Irving would have been banned from dribbling in that era because he was too good at it. LeBron James made these statements to make a point on how every era is different and the fans should respect each era rather than comparing the players.
