[Michelle Beadle] believes that LeBron James played a role in her dismissal from NBA Countdown, where she was replaced by Rachel Nichols: “Yeah, you know, he’s a powerful dude. I mean, there’s no getting around that he is an empire and an entity upon himself.”

Oh shit, Michelle Beadle is still around?
Also, seeing as how subsequent Rachel Nichols news played out, it seems just as likely that Rachel had something to do with getting Beadle out.

what’s so funny is lebron acts/tweets like a facebook mom. [it’s like 3 middle age white women going at each other 🍷🍷🍷](https://youtu.be/Vv2VvmHDEOg?si=iHBdA7Xm6V6gVbL4)
Michelle and Bron had beef?

You’d swear LeBron is Stalin lmfao
This lady is a career victim….she’ll say some reckless shit then cry when she gets called out on it later on. Don’t feel sorry for her at all.
I miss Michelle beadle
I mean i’m sure if Lebron wanted to get someone of Beadles stature demoted he probably could doesn’t mean he did tho.
When you need traction just throw Lebron’s name out there. Why would he be arsed about this? Lol.
Beadle is a perpetual victim. There have been so many instances of her accusing someone conspiring to keep her down in life that it’s kind of sad.
There have been far less and far more important people he could have “gotten fired” if he had the power or will to do that. To suggest he would target only Michelle for some strange reason is ridiculous
the entire cast of announcers and commentators is unwatchable garbage
Next they’ll say LeBron has space lasers and uses them to start wild fires whenever he’s criticized.
Thank you king
Awful announcing indeed.
If Lebron were to deal with someone, I had no doubt that it would’ve been either Skip Bayless or Stephen A. first before a Michelle Beadle.
LeCutthroat
Or maybe it’s because she was unwatchable
Mention LeBron for clout, get articles posted about you
Remember when ESPN built an entire morning show around her and Mike Greenberg…only for her to announce on Twitter that she wouldn’t cover college football any more like two weeks later? Guessing maybe she’s got only herself to blame for her falling out with espn
Idk. Its not like the other people in roles similar to her role loved lebron and she also wasnt so great that she couldn’t be replaced. Her show sportsnation is one of the shows that drove me away from sports coverage. That entire era of espn was cringe tbh having a bunch of 40+ year olds trying to appeal to college kids.
Michelle has been very, very consistent about this throughout the last few years she’s returned to the media sphere. She has said Bron personally DM’d her to criticize her for attacking him on twitter and that he did it to others, and that she caught wind connecting dots that he and his representatives would personally slide into DM’s/contact networks/etc. when it came to members of the media that criticized/attacked LeBron.
I don’t know how much outright proof she has, but it’s all very plausible…we know how overbearing Rich Paul was back then. We know how sensitive LeBron often could be back then to criticism. I’m glad Michelle has landed back on her feet…she’s pretty take-no-prisoners. She’s loving her time with the Spurs. You don’t need ESPN to be successful.
“I have been vocal because my job entailed opinions on television, and I’ve never really cared for the way he conducts himself in most things,” she said. “I find it to be very fraudulent and passive aggressive, which is not my cup of tea.”
Michelle on Lebron James, she hates him and she thinks he hates her. I doubt he has ever given her a second thought.
No Michelle, you are a known bitch to other athletes and a toxic person in a work environment
The ego on some of theses people are outstanding. What beef was there to begin with?
Nah she’s tripping. She got fired bc of how she acted during Zion’s draft. She appeared drunk the whole show
LeEmpireStrikesBack
Michelle Beadle never knew what she talking about.
She was awful. Surely that played into it.
Rachel Nichols meatrider confirmed
Bron got me fired from my job too!!!! 😡
Michelle, is this Lebron James in the room with us now?
Delusions of grandeur lol
She peaked when she was co-host of that game show.
She was once jealous that my dog could walk around off his leash and came when I called him and hers couldn’t
LePuppetmaster
She was the female skip bayless and would constantly trash him. Not shocked if he wasn’t a fan, but let’s be honest they’ve kept way worse in the payroll.
Don’t worry Michelle, LeBron didn’t give me any money for rooting for him during the Heatles years 😡😡😡
Female Skip Bayless
Wait.. She actually thinks she’s important enough for LeBron to take notice?? And the dumb clowns believe that?? LeBron never even acknowledged Skip Bayless in the past 2 decades. Not even once lmao
Oh, the lady who hates Lebron with every fiber of her being thinks it’s lebrons fault her show got shit ratings, her co-host bounced for Fox Sports, and she got canned? Color me surprised.
LeBron, if it really was you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting rid of that insufferable cunt.
Pretty shitty move on Lebrons part. Not terribly surprising though
