LeBron James is a polarizing figure, and he is the recipient of plenty of criticism, especially from a certain group of people that is always looking for excuses to speak ill of him. He has been accused of, among other things, passive-aggressively throwing his teammates under the bus and looking to get them traded when things aren’t going well and blaming others when his team doesn’t win the NBA championship. However, plenty of his current and former teammates have said complementary things about James. One of them is Quinn Cook, a guard who played for the Los Angeles Lakers during…
Boban is someone who has never been shy about sharing his feelings when it comes to Milan, a club with whom he won four Serie A titles and one UEFA Champions League title during his decade-long stint with the Rossoneri.

He made six appearances in total under Stefano Pioli but his deal was set to expire in…
