LeBron James is one of the most famous athletes in the world. Consequently, people are always trying to get clout off of him. As many of us already know, Clout Chasing has become a disease within our current age. Overall, the internet has made it so that anyone can become a famous person. This proximity to virality has a lot of people acting out of pocket. Moreover, it has led to some of the most obnoxious personalities in the history of humanity. Woah Vicky and Supreme Patty are just a couple of the names we think of in regard to this phenomenon.
As for LeBron, it can be hard for him to live his life without weirdos trying to make a name for themselves off of his presence. Whether it be people filming him in an airport or acting beside themselves courtside, James has seen his fair share of stupidity. Recently, however, it was a teenager who was being an absolute nuisance in LeBron's vicinity. Unsurprisingly, the incident in question took place during a Sierra Canyon game in which James just wanted to see Bryce and Bronny play.
LeBron Handed An L
In the video above, you can see a kid wearing some sort of religious gown following James up and down the sideline. The kid makes an L shape with his hand and cups it in his other hand. Subsequently, he just tails LeBron down the court as fans laugh and pull out their phones. This clip eventually went viral on Twitter, and for the most part, people are calling the teen pathetic. Typically, teens do not have the best judgment, so perhaps he deserves just a bit of a break. Regardless, he certainly got the clout he ordered.
This 15 minutes of fame is more like 15 seconds of fame, but alas, the antics worked. Whether or not it was all worth it, is for the teenager to decide. LeBron, however, didn't even seem to notice the kid. That said, it is clear that his antics didn't have their ultimate desired effect. Next time, maybe the crowd will just let James watch his sons play, in peace.
