The NBA’s all-time leading scorer, LeBron James, has caught fans’ attention by simply chewing floss during the LA Lakers’ recent win over the Miami Heat. James was recently caught on video munching on a plastic pick by the sidelines of the game, all the while maintaining a cool and composed demeanor, which seems to have sparked a discussion among basketball fans on the internet.
LeBron James chewing on this random item during NBA game has got fans talking
During the Sunday NBA game between the Lakers and the Miami Heat, which ended in JJ Redick’s men coming out on top with a score of 130-120, LeBron James was one of the many high-profile names present in the stands. At one point in the game, the camera panned to the former Cleveland Cavaliers power forward as he chewed on floss while sporting a pair of round-lens sunglasses and a backwards cap.
The snippet has since gone viral online, garnering mixed responses from social media users. Popular sports media channel BrickCenter posted a version of the clip on its X (formerly Twitter) account with the caption, “Why LeBron chewing on floss.” In the comment section, some LeBron James fans highlighted how stylish their idol looked in the said video, with one user writing, “It’s LeBron; he can do anything he wants, and it’ll look cool.” Another shared a similar sentiment by simply commenting, “Goat s***.”
However, not everyone was a fan of James casually chewing plastic in the stands. One X user criticized the media’s decision to emphasize every activity of the four-time NBA champion, stating, “They keep showing this bum doing everything but playing basketball.” Meanwhile, a second user mentioned that James was trying too hard to present an indifferent look, writing, “40 years old trying to look cool by chewing on floss im dead bruh.”
Having defeated the Heat in their last game, the Lakers will now face the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night in their next NBA game.
