Tony Allen: “I did not know LeBron James was that heavy in media. Boy, I promise you, I don’t want no smoke… What y’all call them? The s*xls? The Bron-s*xls? Hey, man, tell them, ‘Truce,’ Lil Bruce… Damn, they was on my head.”
Cancel Tony Allen for Bronophobia
He disrespected the LBJ+ community
I AM THE VICTIM OF A HATE CRIME
Iman Shumpert aint scared. he said he told Lebron straight to his face that its his fault for superteams in modern era
oh no!
He’s talking to this sub 😂
LeSexualIdentity
This sub is pretty much r/LeBron
Over the last 3 months or so, every post has been
Don’t forget “KD thinks LeBron has super team”
You missed about 20 Melo sucks posts
Go to r/michaeljordan and its also all abt lebron.
yep just clicked it, instantly saw a lebron post LOL
It’s content is literally just a random nba facebook group filled with 40plus year olds. Same comments “lebron isn’t even top 20 all time” this is the main reason why I hate talking basketball with Jordan fans.
In the week or two leading up to the Sixers announcement most of the LeBron posts were negative but they’re back to being positive again.
I got downvotes for saying that it was ridiculous to compare Lebron to Hakeem and Kevin Garnett as defenders, like he’s obviously an elite defender but these stans always take it too far lol.
There is also a highly upvoted post here where people are saying Iguodala was a better defender than LeBron…
Dude, people were dragging Jordan for being in the recent Bleacher Report defensive player list entirely last week. He was 16th IIRC ahead of LeBron.
Calling him “a scorer only”
He couldn’t defend.
BR were boosting his legacy.
This is a guy with DPOY to his name before Scottie developed to his true potential, had 9 NBA All-Defensive team selections (all First Team), the only gaurd to be in the top 5 all time for blocks and steals.
What you said isn’t controversial to anyone who actually watched or took the time to learn about KG and Hakeem.
A lot of this sub knows nothing but speak like they know everything with absolute confidence.
Bron being “hated” on this sub has to be the biggest Reddit meme lol. Dude has Klutch bots on speed dial to protect him from any criticism (valid or not)
I got downvoted for questioning someone for saying Tony Allen was a worse defender than LeBron.
Lebron was a great defender among his peers, but he is nothing in terms of all time. I don’t know why this would be controversial.
well he’s not nothing in terms of all time but he’s not Hakeem level either. Those people are probably just too high on defensive versatility and give LeBron too much credit for that
LeBron my 🐐 but that’s an absurd statement. I wouldn’t compare any guard or wing to them.
LeBron my 🐐
Well, we all believe in some things that are simply not true….like Flat Earthers.
…I did not know LeBron had a subreddit with 200k subscribers, bro has a point
We just had a post full of Kobe fans shitting on LeBron and how his aura doesn’t match Kobe or MJ lol
Been saying that for years and this sub downvotes me like crazy for it proving my point
Omg thats a real sub holy shit
the reason for this is twofold….one, it is literally infested with Klutch bots making pro LeBron comments, upvoting pro LeBron commentary and downvoting anything negative into oblivion. The second reason is that young kids are obsessed with popularity and their malleable minds are easily moulded in any way a corporation like Klutch want. Kids will comment in favour of a thread’s sentiment because they know it will get them the precious karma they crave. They crave it because it makes them feel popular, and likely in their actual real lives they are probably the geeky kid that nobody talks to, so having a sense of popularity online makes them feel better about themselves. It’s just human nature….and it can be expanded to some adults too, not just the kids. The bots have really mouled a pro LeBron sentiment in this entire sub, so that feeds the ‘I want to be popular’ mindset and kids will only make pro LeBron comments themselves, even if they don’t believe a word of what they are writing, they’ll do it only because they know they will get their worthless internet points and feel better about it.
you a bot
Age thing probably
This sub still likes to pretend lebron is hated here when it’s nowhere near true.
2M+ people on this sub, why do people still act like there is a consensus opinion on anything?? Some people hate him and some people don’t
There is no 100% agreement on anything, but there are certainly directions in which the sub hivemind leans on different topics. It’s actually quite interesting psychologically.
Ex: On the Thunder. You could also say that there are “some people who hate the Thunder, and some people who don’t.” But there is a clear lean in one very obvious direction.
Lebron is no different. The sub hivemind incontrovertibly leans towards fans/stans of his. This should not come as a surprise though, given that the sub skews to 18-29 yo fans, which is a prime demographic of Bron stans.
everything you said is objectively true and the downvotes just prove your point lol
Yup. I thought I made a reasonable and true statement. And yet, I’m not at all surprised by the downvotes haha… for the very reasons I mentioned.
Look at the Lebron think pieces from this sub from a regular season game last December. I’d say it’s about even between Lebron haters and fans depending on the day
Edit: Credit to u/the-big-dingo for being level-headed lol
considering he is hated everywhere im pretty sure he is also hated here. Obviously not the majority because I would hope no sport has a fanbase that majority hates one of the best players ever. Negative Lebron posts and comments are highly upvoted on a regular basis here. bron haters might be the 2nd biggest base of NBA fans after lebron lovers lmao.
What was it that he said before that lead to this?
Essentially said he never had to guard anyone after LeBron was ranked one above him (22 vs 23) in Bleacher Report’s top 99 defenders of all time
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/XsiKPBX5eW
They went after him crazy on Twitter too.
It’s most likely twitter
Hi Tony Allen, I love your game
We can’t say sexuals?

Man I hate what the internet has become
H*te
Likewise. Everything is “graped” and “unalived” nonsense.
Crazy part is I can go on r/combatfootage and watch some sucker get blown in half by a drone while squatting to take a shit
But don’t think about commenting before you accept the terms and conditions
Yeah they are very clearly on one side of all of the wars they post
Doesn’t really matter who’s pooping in the scenario as both can be true.
The one that irks me to no end is PDF or PDFile. I cannot stand seeing that one
Hard agree. It’s fucking stupid. We have to talk like little babies so that … I don’t know what.
What is graped?
Drop the g and you have your answer
Oh wow, I never would have guessed that.
You get to be one of today’s lucky 10,000!
Now I lose it when the alcohol store near me is called the grape collective and when I get the grapezilla strain at my dispensary
Won’t some PLEASE think of the advertisers!!
Yet there is a large amount of people who do their bidding for those advertisers. We used to call them hall monitors. Not sure what today’s term is
Reddit mods
Turns out freedom of expression isn’t as free as we thought
I mean when users all defer to 1-2 platforms and allow said platforms to become absolute monsters in terms of userbase, it’s kind of on us
Alternative forums/social media outlets that have been ad-free for 20 years still exist, but users will never defer off of the mainstream for their discussions. We used to talk about the NBA on web bulletin boards and random forums all over the net, but users have gotten increasingly lazy and content with their slop
Everybody talks about how terrible the Internet is while participating in the very reason that makes it terrible. We dug our own graves for the sake of convenience and pretty apps, all while being inflexible to change
people are censoring themselves in real life interactions, not just on social media lol
which is still a personal issue rather than a big tech or societal issue
FOMO, afraid of what others think, etc in the age of being interconnected and building a public facing persona has crippled people
big tech never caused any issues, and of course could never be linked to societal issues at large! everything hangs in the balance by our individual wills and thoughts, no larger forces at play here!
Soft as fuck
A foreign owned social media company has conditioned an entire generation to behave a certain way online and absolutely no one seems concerned about how much leverage the fear of losing their TikTok account is applying to people.
[Pronoun] [Pronoun] h**e what the internet has bec**e
The zoomers have put bumper rails on everything
Didn’t realize, you are completely right mate. Thought you were taking a piss with the title.
Jesus fucking Christ. This shit has got to stop.
Hey u/pieman2005 take a look mate
But actual pornography is. Crazy
What a fucking joke
Probably due to all that violent AD scissor fanfic over the the years
I’m sorry, OP. I initially judged you for being a pussy. That’s on me brotha.
@mods please be embarrassed y’all are really something
So many * that I genuinely couldn’t figure out what he was trying to say
Bro not tapped in to his sexuality
The advertisers don’t like it
But they’re fine with literal porn?
But don’t they always say sex sells??
You have to get aheadofthesectuals
I’m ahead of the sexuals myself
Wtf??? But…….nvm
I got worried they edited it out because he used a real slur lol. Just for a second
As a proud bronsexual i accept Tony Allen truce
Aye. A man can only admit when he was wrong and ask for forgiveness
I don’t know. It seems possible that it’s not LeBron being heavy in media, and it’s just that he said something insanely stupid and then doubled down on it.
One thing to say he’s a better defender than Bron but on an entirely different spectrum to say Bron got hunted and never guarded any star.
I could’ve swore Pierce said a similar thing years ago how he wanted the matchup with Bron on him
TA was on those teams so probably was referring to that
Also I think he was referring to Bron was never asked to lock up the opposing star like he was. TA got the assignment the whole game whereas Bron would get it for a quarter or possessions. I think he expanded on this either in the original interview or shortly after
Yeah but they were hiding TA on offense. It’s legit hilarious to watch him talk about somebody only playing on one side of the ball
When you’re as good as TA at defense, you get to hide on offense. Sorry but it’s the coaches fault for not adapting a system that allows TA to focus on something other than creating a shot. Plus it was never highlighted until like 2016 when TA was old as and almost out of the league, before that he was fine in transition and setting screens and shit.
That’s just banter, otherwise that compilation of Pierce scoring repeatedly over LeBron would have made the front page 880 times already.
Well no super stars guard the opposing team’s best player for an entire game. Just yesterday I watched footage of AI Melo vs Lakers, and it was Derek Fisher and Luke Walton guarding those two every possession. You want your super star’s full energy optimized on the offensive end.
For real. This response is annoying because he’s acting like the blowback was crazed fans. In reality, the blowback was a mountain of evidence directly contradicting his claims.
Two things can be true at the same time.
Have I been a LeBron fan since he was in highschool? Yes.
Did Tony say something verifiably untrue and then double down when called out? Also yes.
People who hate on the dude always use that narrative when they’re wrong.
This dude challenged people to provide the counter agrument. They did.
Now it’s all “Lebron owns the media”
Jalen Rose said LeBron had a bunch of stans in the media like Skip Bayless didn’t make millions off of his Bron criticism. Shit is weird.
And then he tried to say that a part of a reason he said the dumb shit was because of Bron shitting on Memphis months ago lol.
What he say that was wrong. Being a grizz fan myself i listened to it the day it came out. He went down the list of every player saying if he thought it was right or wrong with the Vernon and the boys instigating it. It was a hilarious pod where it seemed some fans and players got into their feels
He said LeBron was hunted on defense and never guarded the opposing team’s best player, which is just lies.
If all he said was he’s a better defender there’d be no issue, he’s an All-Time defender for sure
Tony Allen saw a tinted black SUV roll up to his crib lmao
Josh Smith warned him about the vans lol
I remember a chicago rapper that got jumped by dudes for talking smack on lebron lol
Probably life threatening to do that in Cleveland lol
I know some Cleveland guys that are crazy about LeBron and treat him like people used to treat Michael Jackson
Not at all. I’m from Cleveland and myself and many others talk shit about him daily. It is just a game.
why you heff to be mad
Lmao facts. TA blew up after that podcast 🤣
Don’t run
He ran from a bunch of b********************. (Is that enough asterisks to avoid being banned?)
“Finks, all of you! Finks!”
Bro saw the klutch sports van parked outside his house and rich Paul standing on a nearby rooftop with a walkie talkie in hand.
Also this reminds me of “hememosexuals”
He’s ahead of the sexuals
“if I’m ahead of the sexuals, I’m gonna assume everybody around me is ahead of the sexuals too”
Why are we acting like you wouldn’t see the same reaction if someone said something idiotic about MJ or Kobe? This isn’t a “LeBron has crazy fans” situation, this is just Tony saying something so fucking stupid that the entire media world agreed on it and called him out lol.
We have finals or bust expectations almost every single year of his 20+ YEAR CAREER for this man and we’re still underrating him? 😭
Pretty sure it’s championship or bust with super teams… since when is losing a success.
Awe shit Bron-sexuals got man scared
Bet you it was people pointing out that he was such a useless offensive player that teams straight up didn’t bother guarding him in the playoffs that did it. When people started pulling up that game tape I already knew it was a wrap.
Bronsexual is one of my favorite insults of all time. I say this as a proud, outed bronsexual myself.
Why cant people just admit to being wrong? Instead this dude is just tripling down and suggesting anyone who disagrees with is a bronsexual, which is about the most brain rotted insult I can think of. And for what?
Stop Censoring shit that doesn’t even need to be censored. I couldn’t even deduce what was being written. Fucking grow Up.
Yep, LeBron has a lot of haters but a LOT more stans (Brons**uals)
That’s usually how it works. You’ll always be loved by more people than hated (barring extreme circumstances), & the more people that hates you the more people will eventually love you.
I mean… he’s still arguably the face of the nba so it makes sense.
Lebron popular on social media? Color me shocked
Where do you report mods? “Sexual” too tough? Self censoring deserves at worst a noogie. Most cases a swirlie. In these cases a firing. Have some fucking balls, you dorks, you moderate a subreddit for no pay.
Bron better at defending his legacy than defending on the court
Yay another bored ex player rambling to get clipped
TA is hilarious and anyone actually mad about this is a nerd.
100%. And not only hilarious, but way smarter about the game than he’s given credit for. He talks kinda crazy sometimes bc he’s so damn funny, but he’s no dummy when it comes to basketball in general and defense specifically.
You can’t talk bad about LeBron James’s defense when the single greatest defensive play in NBA history was made by LeBron himself.
When I’m in a “bend the knee to authority and censor yourself” competition and my opponent is any social media user in 2026: :‘(
when i’m in a ‘say some dumb shit and get mad when people call me out on it’ competition and my opponent is a former NBA player :(
How would he not know? 60% if NBA discourse is LeBron vs Jordan
Jealous of how baked he looks
Bron fans are truly something special, they’re like Swifties on steroids
Have you ever met a Kobe fan? It’s like a LeBron fan but they don’t hear “no”.
Get banned from the Lakers sub for mentioning Kobe’s scandal too
People in the Lakers sub unironically and spiritually use the “19 is legal clowb” argument.
Tony Allen said a stupid thing and got rightfully flamed lol what’s wrong with that
Lol don’t act like you wouldn’t have switched up if LeBron signed with Golden State.
Or you could have simply said if someone were dissing Curry
Curry has a lot of fans out there that are rabid in his defense as well
I can bench more than swifties 😤
He is so god damn high.
Is Embiid healthy in the playoffs? If yes, they are champs, if no… still maybe.
Lol
The Klutch SUVs have parked outside another residence.
Anyone know what he means about the Baja? Like Subaru Baja? Cause now I know why they call him OG. That was my first car.
Testicle shrinkage level comment from Tony Allen. Die on your hill bitch.
Too many mics
T
I’ll grant him the permission to repent for the rest of his life. We all make mistakes.
This is a totally useless nitpick but it’s so annoying how nobody can actually accurately use the phrase “on paper.” People say “on paper” to mean superficial analysis. In reality they say something like, “On paper this team looks really good but in practice it won’t be good.” The actual meaning of “on paper” is “on paper” as in you do all your analysis without seeing the game happen and then “in practice” would be experiencing the game during the season, seeing how good they are. It’s weird how people say this
Nobody in the right mind wants to hear Tony Allen Charlie Vill and Raymond Felton on a podcast. Cancels these washed NBA player podcast. I only wanna hear from the greats
LeBron has shooters. It is known. But people were also checking him because he was flat out wrong.
Goofy…
He’s right. It’s gone way too far
Maybe your take was just wrong
That Asian dude is such a clown. Pays those dudes to kick it with him and they were all clowning him when Austin Rivers put him in his place
What did he say?
SEX CAULDRON?? I thought they shut that place down years ago!
LePause
Shit like this make LeBron look even worse. Hes running his own little man girls mafia operation in the league. so fucking lame
The Klutch assassins have been called off
it’s funny because what he said about Bill Russell’s defense in that segment was so much worse
nothing more scary than being gay to these super manly men.
Lebron has a mafia for a PR team
Oh he’s dragging it.
Now this dude wanna cry
Can somebody translate this for me? I sincerely have no idea what he’s even talking about.
Tony don’t deserve the hate he’s getting
Ot the attention.
Imagine defending and going to war for rich people that view their elves as above you 99% of the time. Especially LeBron, he gives off very elitist vibes.
i swear all the mediocre mfs talk the most shit, especially after retirement. That’s how they get attention using LeBron’s name
I don’t understand what is there bad to say about King James, the greatest athlete in world history.
