A well-known YouTube streamer is calling out LeBron James and other NBA players after visiting a hotel near the Memphis Grizzlies’ arena.
Recently, the NBA and its stars are talking more about the Grizzlies, and more specifically, where teams stay when visiting the team. Even James is publicly speaking out against Memphis and stating that it’s his least favorite place to play.

However, YouTuber GFed is trying to expose James and other NBA players after finding the Memphis hotel that away teams use. The well-known influencer created a video account of his experience at the hotel, and it’s quite a different story from how NBA stars portray it.
The bulk of the conversation sparked over recent days when the Los Angeles Lakers star appeared on “Bob Does Sports.” James and the cast of their popular YouTube golf videos collaborated for a major crossover.

“I’m f**king 41 years of age,” James joked during his appearance on “Bob Does Sports.” “You think I want to do sh** in Memphis on a random Thursday? I’m not the first guy in the NBA to talk about this. You guys got to move the team… go over to Nashville already.”
However, the YouTuber’s experience in Tennessee is clearly a different one after exposing NBA players for their Memphis hot takes.

“I don’t believe this is as bad as the players make it out to be,” GFed stated in his viral video. “… I don’t know if I got hooked up because they knew I was coming.”
It’s certainly expected that NBA players and other major athletes are likely accustomed to certain lifestyles when traveling for games. However, GFed’s video makes a strong argument that James and others are blowing the Memphis hotel problem out of proportion.
