Team USA won the gold medal again by beating France with a 98-87 score in the final of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in men’s basketball. This victory is added to the impressive collection of seventeen gold medals of the history of the American team.
After the victory, LeBron James was involved in an unpleasant encounter with a young fan, and it was not liked at all on social networks. The athlete got out of a car, with the gold medal hanging around his neck, preceded by his bodyguard, heading to a restaurant where the celebration took place.
A young man waited for him to get out of the car to ask him for a photo. But LeBron was elusive and curtly rejected the request, making a gesture with his hand as he continued on his way. Upon arriving at the venue, he stopped at the entrance to give a brief dance demonstration and hug the friends and colleagues who were waiting for him to celebrate.
People now understand what happened
Although people have blasted LeBron James after the situation, it looks like he was correct to say no to the kid. On the video there is a interesting situation that happened that justifies his actions.
The boy is heard saying “n*g**” several times in the background and after LeBron’s reaction, it is understandable that he acted the way he did by not being please with that happened with the youngster.
Throughout his career, he has participated in numerous Olympic Games, obtaining gold medals in Beijing 2008, London 2012 and now in Paris, where he has reaffirmed his status as a global sports icon. Thus, he left the French capital with the MVP trophy.
