LeBron Takes a Dig at the Utah Jazz During All-Star Selection

The All-Star game is all set, and the teams are picked. Last night LeBron James and Kevin Durant made their picks to fill out their teams. While making selections as an All-Star captain, James brought up the Utah Jazz as a team nobody picks in video games. The comment had Kevin Durant and the NBA on TNT panel yucking it up.

Jazz fans,  not so much.

To make things even more hilarious, Charles Barkley specifically stated that he would not stand for any Utah Jazz slander just before LeBron took his shot.

"I'm not going for this Utah Jazz slander."

The Jazz players were actually picked last. Charles sets em up, LeBron knocks em down.
