LeBron James, the talented NBA star, might not be participating in the Los Angeles Lakers’ matches due to his injuries but it seems like he is all ready to make a public appearance.

Pat McAfee announces LeBron James’ appearance on his show but fans are not impressed



In the video posted on X, talk show host Pat McAfee says, "Obviously, we follow the NBA a lot closer...I don't want to give anything anyway...LeBron James is going to be on the show this week.”
This news has come as a huge shock for fans but not a lot of fans are happy about it. Many fans are pretty divided about the entire situation.

A fan commented on the post, “Don't breathe on him. He might flop and fall over”, while another fan wrote, “This is an all time low for the program if Leflop doesn’t get called out for his flopping. It needs to be said.”
A third fan wrote, “Why? That dude is a washed narcissist. Keep him away”, while another user wrote, “ask him why he flops so much”.

A fifth fan noted, “Congrats Pat if this was a goal of yours. I can speak for most the audience. Literally couldn’t care less. His woke as needs to stfu and dribble”.
In the last few weeks, the NBA star, LeBron James has been accused by fans of “faking” his injury and also flopping.
A few weeks back, at the match against the Boston Celtics, LeBron James was accused of flopping when Jayson Tatum slightly brushed against him. As per the videos that went viral, LeBron James was seen touching his chin and hitting the floor, in a way to show the pain that it caused him.
However, seconds later, LeBron James stood up and appeared fine. At the same match, LeBron James reported a groin injury and was unavailable for matches until he came back on this Saturday.
Many fans believed that LeBron James was “faking” his injury since he even cheered on his younger son at the state championship game and was spotted being there for Bronny James at the recent Lakers vs Bucks match.
While Pat McAfee has not announced the date when LeBron James will make an appearance, it seems evident that this episode will spark a lot of conversations.
