With Chen's stature these days, was he really going to be afraid of a little backlash?
For starters, his army of brain-dead fans alone was more than enough to go toe-to-toe with the Los Angeles media~~

Just as expected, Chen Xi's remarks caused an uproar shortly after the game.

"Hahahaha, holy shit!"
"Chen Xi's a dumbass. What's he putting on airs for? What gives him the right to criticize LeBron? Is he even that good? He got crushed by the Nuggets last season, and now he's running his mouth and sticking his nose into someone else's
