In a recent interview with Swish Cultures, former NBA player Kwame Brown suggested that "old-school players" in the NBA wouldn't have any issue taking on LeBron James, who turned 39 last year.

"The old-school players wouldn’t have any trouble with LeBron because, at 39, he should have developed a mid-range and a post-game, and he still hasn’t yet," he said, per Fadeaway World. "His game really hasn’t evolved outside of a three and putting his head down and going to the basket. He doesn’t go like Paul Pierce, getting to a spot, pulling up. Those are the things you normally see out of a superstar player."

This is far from the first time the 42-year-old former NBA player, who left the league in 2013, has ripped into LeBron. He's been a noted critic of him for years and famously ripped into him with a rant last year after the Lakers were swept by the Denver Nuggets.

"If I had a LeBron James jersey, I'd be burning it right now," he said in a seven-minute-long rant. "You are a great player, you got good stats, you played longer than anybody, you a bad motherf*cker, but you not that."

It even sparked a back-and-forth between him and Shannon Sharpe, who lambasted him for being so critical of LeBron James. In response, he called Sharpe a "punk motherf*cker" and a "thick-tongued idiot."
