Reggie Miller subtly claimed James doesn’t take responsibility, provoking tons of reactions from players, fans and analysts

Reggie Miller has faced significant backlash for his recent comments about Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. Miller appeared to suggest that James avoids taking accountability during the Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Denver Nuggets game.

Miller’s comments came after he praised Anthony Edwards for his performance and professionalism following the Timberwolves’ game three loss to Nikola Jokic’s team, which left them 2-1 down before they ultimately lost the series on May 13.

“I’m an even bigger fan of Anthony Edwards after seeing that clip,” Miller said on TNT. “There are certain players with veteran status that are on people’s Mt. Rushmore that are quick to deflect and blame.”

Nick Wright, a Fox Sports analyst, quickly responded to Miller’s remarks. “‘Active players on a lot of people’s Mount Rushmore [that like to deflect],’” Wright said on Fox Sports 1, paraphrasing Miller. “We know it’s Bron he’s talking about. I think this is wildly unfair to LeBron. I also think it is incredibly cowardly by Reggie.”
