"LeBron Blames, you should be the last person talking sh*t about the Coronavirus": Michael Rapaport takes a shot at the Lakers superstar's viral Spider-Man Instagram post

American actor and comedian Michael Rapaport blasts LeBron James on the former’s recent Instagram post.

The LA Lakers season hasn’t panned out according to expectations. Currently, struggling to be a +500 team despite LeBron James having some of his best performances. With superstar Anthony Davis out for four weeks with an MCL sprain, things have only worsened for the purple and gold team.

The Lakers had another disappointing outing on Christmas day, with a loss against the Brooklyn Nets. James surpassed Kobe Bryant as the all-time leading scorer on Xmas day. However, the four-time Finals MVP fell short of a victory.

The Lakers tried to make a comeback in the fourth quarter with a 17-0 run courtesy of James and Malik Monk. However, James Harden and Patty Mills took care of business, putting up incredible numbers. While Harden had a 36-point triple-double, Mills was 8-of-13 from the 3-point line.

In response to the above post, Rapaport tweeted the following.

“He’s a grown man putting up tweets with Spiderman, COVID, cold, flu, you don’t know the difference? None of us do, that’s the problem. Why don’t you call up one of your friends in China and ask them if they could explain it to you? Or call up Karl-Anthony Towns, who lost multiple family members, see if he could explain it to you. You should be the last person talking sh*t about the Coronavirus. That’s the only reason why you won your last ring, that fake a** bubble ring. Just like you are the fakest guy in the NBA. Put that bulls**t out on Christmas eve when 800,000 Americans have died? Pathetic.”

Rapaport has been an avid critic of James. The 51-year old has left no stone unturned to dismiss the seventeen-time All-Star in the GOAT conversation. Rapaport had accused James of ruining the league when he decided to join forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami.
