LeBron James, freshly adorned with a gold medal from the Paris Olympics, was at the center of a social media storm on Sunday following an encounter with a young fan in France.
In the video, James, who had just led Team USA to victory over France, is seen walking with his wife, Savannah, and an entourage.
As a young fan approached James for a possible interaction or photo, the Los Angeles Lakers star responded with a stern "Stop."
One of James' team members then nudged the fan aside as the group entered a restaurant.
LeBron James is the epitome of trash in the NBA.

Gold. Upgraded. Buy real gold from $1. Store it in America. Sell it with one click.
While James received congratulations from photographers and celebrated his gold medal win with a dance, the video of the fan interaction quickly drew criticism online.
It’s been shown over and over again Lebron isn’t a good person. I don’t think anyone is surprised by his actions.

I’m surprised he didn’t fall in the ground crying and acting like the kid knocked him down.
Big freaking crybaby. — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) August 11, 2024
Not standing for the national anthem was bad. So is this.

When things aren’t staged- you really see people for whom they are. James is not a good person.

Gold is the oldest answer. SoundMoney makes owning it as easy as the apps you already use.

Thank you, Janet Gartner for pointing out that fact about James. He was probably hurrying so he could go carry the Chinese flag in the closing ceremonies.
I would never ask this worthless low-life for an autograph or anything of that nature!
No need to search any further for the “USA R-Soul of the Year” ! Many have suspected it all along – now it is confirmed ! Pathetic Kneeling Creep !
The word NARCISSIST springs to mind whenever this twit pokes his ugly mug above the kerb.
The Paris “Olympics” have doubtless brought out the very extremes of that sickness.
