Eddie Johnson blasts Rashad McCants over LeBron criticism
Reacting via his X handle, Johnson went straight at McCantsâ credibility.
âLol. Avg 8 shots a game and out of the league at 24. But the 41-year-old has to shoot more. I would say you should have shot more. What you think?â Johnson tweeted.
The response quickly went viral, with Johnson pointing to McCantsâ short NBA career and relatively low usage as a way to dismiss his criticism.
McCants averaged around 8â9 field goal attempts per game during his five-year NBA stint and was out of the league by age 24, a stark contrast to LeBronâs longevity and current production at 41.
