From one sporting icon to another.
NBA all-time great and potential GOAT LeBron James tells Superbowl champion Deion Sanders to ignore the haters.
Sanders starred in the NFL for 14 years, winning two Superbowl titles, as well as playing in nine seasons in the MLB, reaching the World Series.
James is one of the greatest ballers of all time, with 4 NBA Championships to go with four-times NBA Most Valuable Player Awards.
Sanders recently posted this on his twitter feed, "I have smiled at people who have said the most terrible things about me and they think I don’t know."
LeBron retweeted the post and added the caption, "[I] Do It All The Time! And by now they should know I don’t forget a dang thing!!
James is going into his 21st NBA season and has recently received flak from Skip Bayless, a veteran broadcaster, who has made his name off criticizing legends like James.
Rich Paul, speaking on the Gils Arena Show, agreed with James. "LeBron is the first player to have to deal with a 24/7, 365 news cycle of sports and opinions from those that are not even capable or carry the expertise to give a valid opinion. That’s something Mike [Michael Jordan] never had to deal with," he said.
LeBron is the NBA’s leading all-time goal scorer and has broken almost every scoring milestone achievable.
Sanders is also making waves in the college football circuit leading the Colorado Boulder team to a 3-0 start to the season. He has taken the team to the number 18 ranked spot in the country. Prime Time has always been a polarizing figure given his celebrity status, and he is causing a stir as a head coach who is going places.
In this digital world of ratings, rankings, likes and views it is hard to escape scrutiny, but it is also easier to pick out your enemies.
