Speights, who previously played for the Warriors and Magic, followed the meme up by saying that he wasn't trying to take a dig at LeBron. "No shots to bron he is one of the best players to ever touch the court," he wrote. "I respect the game in the great players!!!!"

In another tweet, Speights said that he has "his own opinion tho so I don’t really care what the next person have to say lol." He continued, "so take it how you want it... god blessed."
