LeBron James has not been playing matches for his team, the Los Angeles Lakers, ever since he sustained a groin injury at a match against the Boston Celtics a few days ago. However, LeBron James is taking this time to focus on his family as he was recently spotted attending his son’s state championship game with his wife and daughter. Recently, a video has gone viral which shows that the NBA star was getting heckled at the match.

LeBron James Gets Heckled As He Cheered On His Son At The Recent State Championship Game

In a video that has now gone viral, LeBron James is seen sitting with his wife and daughter as a few teenagers around him were trying to heckle the NBA star. LeBron James’ wife, Savannah James was seen smiling and looking around as their daughter seemed confused at the commotion.

But all the attention was on the NBA star as LeBron James pretended he could not even hear the teenagers trying to heckle him. This incident has caused a debate among fans.

A fan took to X and wrote, “What’s crazy is how can you ignore all of those kids shouting at you lmao”, while another fan wrote, “I’d get my security to throw them out if I was him lol I’m not dealing with that”.
A third fan wrote, “He’s with his wife and daughter just leave him alone”, while another user wrote, “I'm not even a bron lover, but that is just dumb.”

Another fan trolled LeBron James and wrote, “Nobody respects him. No aura 😂”.
However, this is not it; many fans have trolled LeBron James for “faking” the groin injury that he claims to have sustained at the game against the Boston Celtics. Many fans have called him out for it as he was seen perfectly fine while cheering on for his son, Bryce James, at the recent state championship game.
LeBron James has not addressed the speculations around his injury as he continues to focus on his family. Currently, it is not exactly known when he will be back. In the last match he played against the Boston Celtics, his team ended up losing the match.
