Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is facing intense backlash for his comments during the Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles NFL game.
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is preparing for his 22nd NBA season. Winning a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics with Team USA this summer, James won MVP of the tournament for his all-around play.
Averaging 14.2 points, 8.5 assists, and 6.8 rebounds in six Olympic games, James took home his third gold medal and fourth Olympic medal overall. This was another incredible basketball achievement for James as he continues to add to his historic career.
With 160M Instagram followers and 53M X followers, James has a large presence on social media. In a post on Friday, September 6, James reacted to the field conditions during the Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles game.
Sharing this strong message, James joined many others in the sports world who were unhappy with the field conditions at Arena Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil.
While many agreed with this take from James, the Lakers star upset a lot of Brazilian fans who made their opinion clear in the Instagram comments of his post on Saturday, September 7.
