Fresh from clinching his latest Olympic gold with Team USA at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Lebron James has found himself in the wrong spotlight.

The basketball superstar, who played a pivotal role in leading the U.S. team to a 98-87 victory over France, was caught on video rudely reacting to a young fan’s request for a picture, only to be seen dancing joyously mere moments later.

The moment unfolded shortly after the Americans secured their fifth consecutive Olympic gold, showing LeBron visibly annoyed as a little boy approaches him for a photograph.

However, the mood shifted dramatically when LeBron, still donning his gold medal, was seen breaking into a dance before he enters a nightclub, clearly in high spirits after his team’s triumph.

WATCH:

The NBA superstar has showed no signs of slowing down on the court, however, his rebuke of the young fan off the court struck a more paternal and less praised note, causing some disapproval across social media platforms.

Many on social media called his behavior towards the boy rude and unbecoming of an athlete celebrated not only for his skills but also for his “role model” status.
