LeBron vs. Memphis and Milwaukee — Then the Bucks Trolled Him

LeBron James set the NBA internet on fire this weekend when he said on a Bob Does Sports YouTube video that he can't stand traveling to Memphis and Milwaukee. He suggested the Grizzlies should relocate to Nashville and complained about staying at "the Hyatt Centric" at 41 years old.

When asked about the backlash on Saturday, LeBron didn't back down — he doubled down. He made sure reporters noted he'd mentioned Milwaukee too, and later added Cleveland to his list of cities he doesn't enjoy visiting. The comments drew accusations of being disrespectful to smaller-market cities.

The Milwaukee Bucks had the best response. After beating the Memphis Grizzlies 131-115 on Sunday, their social media team posted: "Won the matchup between everyone's two favorite cities." Doc Rivers joked the Bucks should trade for LeBron. Meanwhile, LeBron clarified it's really about the travel grind — not the cities themselves. But the damage to his Memphis and Milwaukee fan relations? Already done.
