Lakers' LeBron Calls Out Trolls Saying He Has 'No Bag' Despite Being All-Time Scorer

Andrew PetersJun 8, 2025

LeBron James' status as the NBA's all-time leading scorer doesn't protect him from critics and trolls, and one thing he constantly hears is that he has "no bag."

James called out the trolls on his podcast, Mind the Game.

"I see it all the time, I'll be on social media and it's like 'LeBron has no bag,' James said (25:00 mark). "'LeBron has no bag' and I'm sitting here with like 50 billion points. Just play the game the right way, and I hope that our younger generation doesn't get swamped by saying, 'I need a bag.' Work on your game, know what you're going to be good at in order to help the team and prove the next year to be a better player."

James has established himself as one of the greatest players of all time and has scored more than any other player in history, but he hasn't necessarily done it through what has become known as having a "bag." Aside from his high-flying dunks, James mostly sticks to the fundamentals, using ball movement to create shots or putting his head down and getting to the rim.

With other all-time greats like Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant excelling in isolation with a plethora of crossovers, hesitations and other skill moves, James' game might not come across as entertaining as some of his peers, but there's no denying his abilities.

While the trolls calling out James for having "no bag" will likely never cease, his approach to the sport has led to countless accolades and success, and that's far more important than having a "bag."
