Back with Team USA after more than a decade, LeBron James is bound to attract attention ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games.

But the King’s latest video has earned him some rather inglorious comparisons to Kendrick Perkins…

As he turns 40 next December, we thought we would never see LeBron James wear the Team USA jersey again.

It must be said that his last appearance with the American team dates back to the London Olympics, twelve years ago…

But the fiasco of the last world championships has clearly decided the Lakers winger to come out of his international retirement, on the occasion of the tournament in Paris this summer.

Leader of a terrifying armada that also includes Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard, the four-time NBA champion is aiming for a third Olympic gold medal before his retirement.

And as always with him, the slightest video of his exploits makes the rounds on social networks… except that the latest one earned him an analysis that he certainly could have done without, so much does it not do him honor.

LeBron James’ Viral Video With Team USA

LeBron has the same skills as Kendrick Perkins😭

Let’s remember that even though he was an NBA champion, Perk’ was never known for his creativity with the ball in his hands and even less for his technical level.

It was quite the opposite… of course, this is just a joke but it had the gift of making the King’s fans jump. They really lack a sense of humor…

40,000 points with Kendrick Perkins skills? Wow

Good job, you proved you know nothing about basketball

When you know the technical limitations of Kendrick Perkins when he was still active, it is true that this comparison is anything but flattering for LeBron James. But what his fans clearly did not understand is that it was a simple joke…
