WWE legend Ric Flair slams ESPN reporter Alan Hahn over LeBron James 'old man' jibe after Lakers star records another triple double in win against Pelicans: 'You stupid SOB'

WWE legend Ric Flair took aim at ESPN reporter Alan Hahn over 'embarrassing' comments he made about LeBron James.

James shone as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Pelicans on Sunday, amassing 11 rebounds, 17 assists and 28 points.

It comes around a year after Hahn branded the NBA icon, 39, an 'old man'. Flair reminded the journalist of those comments after LeBron rolled back the years against New Orleans.

'I’m sorry to report to you @alanhahn that LeBron recorded another triple double a year after you called him an old man,' the 'Nature Boy' wrote on social media. 

'You stupid SOB (son of a b****). It’s so embarrassing to have you report about sports. When I see you on @GetUpESPN or @FirstTake, I turn the TV off. @KingJames triple double. The @Lakers march on.'

Hahn hit back on ESPN's 'Get Up' on Monday, inviting the WWE legend on for a debate

Flair ended his tweet with the legendary catchphrase which became synonymous with his decades in the ring. 'WOOOOO!' he wrote.

Hahn hit back at the 75-year-old Flair on ESPN's 'Get Up' on Monday, inviting the WWE legend on for a debate.

'It's funny, first of all, I was embarrassed when I saw this - for him... I don't know wrestling that well (so) I called my friend (WWE personality) Peter Rosenberg and said: "Tell me what's going on with Ric Flair",' Hahn said.

'He said: "This guy was so famous, so popular that they said you could have him and a broom in a match and people want to watch it." If this is where he is in his career, I'm putting my money on the broom.

'Speaking of brooms, when we had this take, the Lakers were getting swept by the Denver Nuggets and, by the way, LeBron James talks about being old. No one talks about being old more than LeBron James so give me a break.'
