Former NBA player and ESPN analyst Jay Williams took aim at Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James this week over comments he made about not ever returning to "100%" after his injury, saying it’s not something NBA great Michal Jordan would have ever said.

"MJ just wouldn’t say anything at all."

James returned Friday after injuring his right leg, an injury that sidelined him for 20 games over six weeks, which is by far the most time he has missed in his career due to an injury.
James said he felt "OK" after the game, but added that he felt a little tightness and that’s when he said he may never be 100% healthy again.
"I knew I wasn’t going to get back to 100%. It’s impossible," James said via ESPN. "I don’t think I will ever get back to 100% in my career."
