Malone’s statements came amidst a conversation between the Denver Nuggets and the Lakers, both looking for an NBA championship. In a press conference, Malone’s comments were interpreted by some as an effort to provoke LeBron James, as he mentioned, “LeBron James is an exceptional player, but he’s had only one fruitful season.” These words didn’t sit comfortably with a lot of NBA enthusiasts and, quite unexpectedly, drew the attention of Richard Sherman.
