The YouTube golf community received a massive surprise Thursday when NBA superstar LeBron James teamed up with some of the biggest creators in the space.

However, the Los Angeles Lakers star made a wild comment about another NBA team during his appearance with the Bob Does Sports crew.

James has been getting really into golf in recent months and joined the YouTube cast of characters, including Robby Berger, Fat Perez and Joey Coldcuts. The Bob Does Sports YouTube account is one of the most-followed golf pages on the platform with over one million subscribers.

LeBron James on playing the Grizzlies:

“I’m f***ing 41 years of age. 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.”

While most of the filming experience showed off James hitting it off with Berger and the rest of the crew, he did take a cheap shot at a Western Conference franchise that gets a lot of flak.

“I’m f***ing 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.”

The Memphis Grizzlies have been torched publicly by many current and former NBA stars due to the city’s reputation. However, James is certainly the most high-profile name to make such a comment on a very popular social media account.

The suggestion by James to move the team to Nashville is also intriguing as the league explores expansion options.

LeBron’s new favorite sport?

Many sports fans have been wondering if 2026 is James’ final NBA season, especially considering his new love for golf. However, the four-time champion hasn’t given any indication that he’s ready to hang up his sneakers yet.

Last year, Barstool Sports helped put together the Internet Invitational with many top creators involved. That event featured Bob Does Sports, Grant Horvat, George and Wesley Bryan and other notable names.

Now, the event is expected to return for a season year in 2026, and James could be among the biggest athletes to be added to the list. In 2025, one of his former NBA teammates, J.R. Smith, was scheduled to compete before pulling out due to flight issues.
