    LeBron James has dominated the world of basketball for more than two decades. The 39-year-old superstar has racked up a plethora of records throughout his career. Apart from being a talented athlete, James is a beloved person off the court.

    There has been hardly an occasion where the Los Angeles Lakers superstar has misbehaved in front of a fan. However, the King couldn’t keep his emotions in check after winning the third gold medal of his Team USA career.

    James’ behavior has become a huge talking point for basketball fans from around the globe, who have viewed him as an ideal role model.

    LeBron yelled at a young fan

    Meeting a player of LeBron’s stature is a dream come true for most basketball fans. After all, he is the face of the league and is coming off another great Olympics run where he was also named the MVP of the competition.

    A young fan in Paris got a chance to meet his idol. However, it turned out to be a rather sad moment for the fan as James was captured yelling at him.

    “Stop. Stop. Stop. Don’t do that,” the Chosen One said while stopping the fan.

    On a closer look, it seemed like the fan overstepped his boundaries and tried to click a picture with James. It’s understandable that the Lakers star was annoyed since he had just stepped out of the car.

    Fans are unhappy with James’ behavior

    Another angle of James’ interaction with the fan shows the unexpected behavior of the four-time NBA champion. Just seconds after yelling at the fan, the King can be seen breaking out a few dance moves.

    Evidently, it didn’t sit well with the NBA fans on X (formerly known as Twitter) and they were vocal about it.

    While some fans berated the 39-year-old for his actions, others were quick to defend him. As of now, James hasn’t commented on the incident via his social media handles.

    Regardless of whether the superstar forward addresses the incident or not, it’s certain that he will continue to face a lot of backlash from fans on social media platforms. After all, there is hardly a time when James is not nice to his fans.
