Michael Rapaport has finally elicited a response from LeBron James after years of yelling into a camera with slang he picked up from A Bronx Tale. The actor’s long-standing feud with LeBron began when he dissed his young children years back–“He gave ’em the f**kin’ Heisman and turned his back to them.”

“Out of all the athletes, out of all the celebrities, out of all the rappers I’ve ever met — especially with my kids — that was the only motherf**ker that ever did that. And I was like, ‘Hell f**kin’ no.'”

No one within LeBron’s circle is free from Rapaport’s vitriol, as he recently scoffed at businessman and LeBron’s manager and high school teammate, Maverick Carter, for being allowed to give the commencement speech at USC over the weekend.

Carter isn’t just LeBron’s best friend, he’s also what LBJ calls a “visionary leader. Despite engineering the marketing disaster that was The Decision, Carter has been the mind behind several of LeBron’s marketing and partnership successes, including his partial stake in Liverpool F.C., which strengthened his image overseas.

Jimmy Spencer, the Vice President of Athlete Relations & Content at UNINTERRUPTED, outed Rapaport for hating on Mav Carter while simultaneously trying to advance his career through the company Carter founded.

LeBron went full emoji-mode to clown Rapaport.

That’s when the low blows started flying.

To think that this could have all been avoided if LeBron just recognized the existence of Rapaport’s kids. What a shame.
