On June 20, Lakers star James' recent remarks have attracted heated discussion. He said he was puzzled why the NBA's ring culture is so prevalent, because the championship is a team achievement. In response, famous commentators Skip and A-Smith both attacked James. The cause of the incident came from a comment from James' "Brain of the Field" podcast. James said: "I don't know why 'ring culture' is so popular in the NBA. If you have never won a championship, or you only won one championship, you are not a great player, and you can't compare to so-and-so. I hope we can appreciate the achievements that players have achieved and what they do. Rings are a team achievement. If you happen to have the opportunity to share the championship with your team at some point, then what should be discussed is that this team is the greatest team, and how is that team? Jerry West only has one championship ring, but he is the logo character in the NBA."

James quickly caused an uproar after his remarks, and many media criticized him. And earlier today, two famous commentators were also involved. A-Smith, who has had many quarrels with James, said: "If you win a championship, it doesn't mean anything or it shouldn't mean anything... Then why are you so glad that you finally won the championship? Why did you leave the Cavaliers and go to the Heat?" Another famous commentator, Skip, pointed out: "James mocked the 'ring culture', saying that the championship ring is just a team achievement and should not occupy such a large proportion in personal career assessment. He also tried to weaken Jordan's position as the best player in history (GOAT) and belittle Jordan's perfect record of 6 wins and 0 losses in the finals, compared with his 4 wins and 6 losses in the finals. It's a good attempt, 'king'."
