Roy Wood Jr. believes the Brooklyn Nets are intimidated by LeBron James

A lot of people state that LeBron James began the trend of assembling superteams and the formation of ‘Big Three’ within the roster. While that is a debate for another day, the Nets have currently employed three of the most dangerous offensive players on their team.

“Yo man this is like the avengers. I need time to learn all these characters. It’s too many people all on one team,” Roy Wood Jr. mentioned during a recent appearance on ESPN’s Jalen & Jacoby show. 

“If it takes all of that and they still can’t beat LeBron, I don’t want to hear anything else about LeBron’s legacy. That’s what this is all about. This is all about trying to beat a 36-year-old man with right now kind of a weak ankle but you know every time you see LeBron, he’s in better shape than the last time you saw him,” he further added. 

With this statement, it is clear that Roy Wood Jr. backs LeBron James to win the 2021 NBA championship. Furthermore, the 42-year-old comedian also stated that the Nets aren’t guaranteed a berth in the NBA finals as they would have to get past the likes of the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers first.

What do you think? Will the current NBA Finals prediction turn out to be true? Or will any other team upset the potential favorites and mark their place on the grand stage?
