MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- One of the most famous professional athletes took a shot at Milwaukee recently. On a podcast last week, LeBron James said he doesn't like to play in Memphis or Milwaukee. 

He suggested the Memphis Grizzlies should move to Nashville, which got most of the attention, and James was asked about those comments over the weekend. 

"I'm 41 years old," James said. "There's two cities I do not like playing in right now. That's Milwaukee and that's Memphis."

James hasn't elaborated since making those comments, but we wanted to hear from Bucks fans in Milwaukee. 

"I mean, that's kind of bougie," fan Tim O'Keefe said. said. "I love Milwaukee, it's a great city. We got all kinds of great food here, cool nightlife stuff, what's not to like about Milwaukee?"

The Bucks played Memphis Sunday night. Their social media team shared a post after the Bucks win, saying, "Won the matchup between everyone's two favorite cities."
