LeBron James’ presence on the court is very crucial for the Los Angeles Lakers in the final few games of the season. But James is all set to miss a couple of weeks of action after suffering a foot injury.
The foot injury is serious as LeBron James was clicked wearing a walking boot on the sidelines during the Los Angeles Lakers defeat against the Memphis Grizzlies. An NBA fan made an inappropriate comment about James wearing a walking boot that involved Anthony Davis as well.
cirealli95: “Got it straight from AD’s shoe collection.”
Over the years, fans have roasted Anthony Davis many times for not staying fit and missing several games a season. The fan made a joke about how LeBron James must have found that walking boot from Davis’ shoe collection.
While making jokes in a light-hearted manner is never an issue, there is a thin line that should never be crossed by the fans.
How NBA Fans Reacted To LeBron James Wearing A Walking Boot?
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently in a tough situation, with their hopes of advancing to the playoffs hanging by a thin thread. Many thought with the new-look Lakers roster being led by LeBron James, the organization would clinch a playoff berth.
Unfortunately, seeing James in a walking boot led to fans losing that hope. And obviously, a few fans joked about LeBron’s injury as well.
Comments have been edited for the purpose of clarification:
“He got his scoring record, he’s good .”
“LeDone James.”
“LeBye playoffs.”
“LeBoot James.”
“Now AD looking at Bron in a boot smh.”
“It would be worse if it was AD.”
“His s**t is just swollen no bone damage or stress he’ll be fine in a week or 2.”
“My glorious injured king :(“
“Dudes saying it like they didn’t tell us already he missing 2 weeks and took a photo in a strapped-up foot.”
“Dude was unstoppable until that scoring record and now he just hurting left and right .”
Fans had various reactions to James wearing a walking boot. Some posted clever wordplay with James’ name, others called out LeBron for being soft.
Either way, the Lakers will miss James regardless of whether he will return in two or three weeks. After all, he is the cornerstone player of the team.
