Most Embarrassing Moments for LeBron James

LeBron James is and has been one of the most dominant and feared athletes in the league but there is a goofy side to Bron too. Some of his on-court and off-court antics end up making the highlight reel of every sports insider show. Be it something deliberate or by accident, people love seeing this side of ‘The King’ every now and then.

And today we will be listing down some of the most embarrassing and goofy LeBron James moments he has had over the years in the league.

LeBron Shaves his Head

After his last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James showed off his bald head on Instagram while rocking to T Grizzly’s song, First Day Up. And let me just say, LeBron’s bald head wasn’t the only cringe-worthy thing in the video. IT was LeBron singing along and then goofily dancing in the gym and locker room later on. And a lot of fans chose to mock LeBron’s video by imitating what he was doing in his Instagram video.

Lebron’s Cramps

In 2014, LeBron James and the Miami Heat were playing the Spurs in the NBA finals when LeBron’s right leg cramped up and he had to be carried off the court like a baby by two of his teammates. This is the same game where the AT&T Center air conditioning had malfunctioned and everyone was sweating like crazy. LeBron went onto blame the AC for his cramps and the critics slammed down on LeBron for it.

LeBron’s Flops

Though almost every player flops in a game every now and then to draw fouls, LeBron has made it an absolute art form of crying out and participate in over the top actions that may sway the referees in calling the foul in his favour. This is something I have seen with my own eyes, LeBron flopping and lying down on the floor to get the foul call in his favour. Critics and haters always slam LeBron on flopping as he just takes it to another level and succeeds as well.

LeBron’s Hairline

LeBron’s hairline has been the topic of speculation for years by fans and media alike. Critics say that LeBron hides his receding hairline with his NBA headband. Rumours speculate that the headband goes further back as LeBron’s hairline slowly recedes. According to ex-player Kenyon Martin, this was a joke that circulated for years in the league.

Trolling LeBron

LeBron James achieved one of the biggest feats in Cleveland history and not just for the Cavaliers, but for the whole city. While making his way back onto the Cavs from Miami, LeBron promised a championship to Cleveland and he did deliver, ending a 52-year championship drought across all sports. And it is obvious that LeBron got pretty emotional after beating the Golden State Warriors. Pictures of him kneeling and crying on the court surfaced and the internet went back to work. It did what it does best, troll LeBron and his crying face through memes.

Now, these may be some of LeBron’s embarrassing details but nothing can take away the respect the 4 time NBA champion deserves for his greatness both on and off the court.
