In Sunday's NBA Playoffs Western Conference Semis Game 4, the Denver Nuggets leveled the series 2-2 by beating the Minnesota Timberwolves with a final score of 115-107.
Anthony Edwards showcased another impressive performance, scoring 44 points on 16 of 25 shooting, along with grabbing five rebounds and dishing out five assists in a strong effort to secure the Timberwolves' third victory in the series.
During the first quarter, Reggie Miller, commentator for NBA on TNT, expressed admiration for Edwards, subtly drawing comparisons that hinted at a contrast with LeBron James, the star player for the Los Angeles Lakers.
This fueled criticisms from NBA fans about LeBron.

Miller's comments were captured and posted to social media.
One fan said "Agree with Reggie. Y'all claim to be the goat of basketball but can't take criticism and accountability in losses when you take all the credit in wins. Im just happy the nba has a better future with the right mindset of the young stars today."
Another fan said, "Lebron has never taken responsibility for a loss in his life."
