The Milwaukee Bucks took a lighthearted jab at LeBron James after the Los Angeles Lakers star said Saturday that the two cities he doesn’t like playing in right now are Milwaukee and Memphis.
Following James’ comments, the Bucks posted a message that poked fun at the remark, using a caption referencing “everyone’s two favorite cities.”
James’ statement singled out two current NBA markets, one in the Eastern Conference (Milwaukee) and one in the Western Conference (Memphis), as the places he’s least enjoying playing at the moment. Milwaukee, home to the Bucks, has long been one of the league’s toughest venues for visiting teams, while Memphis has also developed a reputation as a difficult road environment in recent seasons.
The exchange added a brief social media wrinkle to the ongoing spotlight that follows James and the Lakers, with Milwaukee choosing humor rather than escalation in its response.
