SPOILER ALERT: A key plot point in the ending of Netflix phenom “Squid Game” will be revealed by reading further.
Two weeks ago, following the Los Angeles Lakers’ loss to the Golden State Warriors, LeBron James wrapped up his press conference and shared a few words with teammate Anthony Davis.
The topic of conversation: “Squid Game”, the dystopian South Korean thriller that recently topped Netflix as the streamer’s most-watched series launch ever.
“Yeah, I did finish it. You finish it? You watched it? You done?” James asks.
“Yeah, I didn’t like the ending though,” James continues Davis.
“I know they start it off with a season two but like, get on the f**king flight and go see your daughter, bro,” James tells Davis “Like what are you doing?”

In a new interview with The Guardian, “Squid Game” creator Hwang Dong-hyuk responded to James’ remarks.
“Have you seen ‘Space Jam 2’?” he quipped.
“LeBron James is cool and can say what he wants. I respect that. I’m very thankful he watched the whole series,” he added.
“But I wouldn’t change my ending,” he explained. “That’s my ending. If he has his own ending that would satisfy him, maybe he could make his own sequel. I’ll check it out and maybe send him a message saying, ‘I liked your whole show, except the ending.'”
After video of James’ comments went viral on Twitter, others who watched the show chimed in with their opinions as well.
OK BUT THEY HAD TO MAKE AN EPIC SETUP FOR SEASON TWO
