The video, shared by @BronsMindset, showed a clearly edited sequence of LeBron sucker punching fellow NBA players.
The caption read, “What the fuck is this video man.”
In the clip, LeBron appeared to knock down everyone from his teammate Luka Dončić to rival Stephen Curry, and even basketball legend Michael Jordan. The video was not real, but that did not stop NBA fans from reacting.
One of the most viral responses came from @marl0stanfield_, who wrote, “There’s a similar one for Draymond but it’s not ai.”

The comment referenced Draymond Green’s recent on-court physical incident and immediately struck a chord with NBA fans familiar with his reputation.
Another user, @mistersweaterz, enjoyed that comparison even more than the video itself, replying, “This comment better than the video.”
That response quickly gained traction as NBA fans shifted focus from the AI clip to the punchline.
The video itself was clearly artificial, with unrealistic motion and exaggerated reactions. Still, NBA fans shared it widely, proving once again how fast AI content spreads when it involves major names.
The moment isn’t just about a fake fight sequence. It highlights how NBA fans process viral content today. Even when something looks obviously edited, the entertainment value can outweigh the concern over authenticity.
In this case, most viewers understood it was a parody. But the reactions showed how easily AI clips featuring well-known athletes can capture attention within seconds.
NBA Fans Laugh At AI Chaos As LeBron Video Sparks Jordan And Curry Reactions
NBA fans kept the jokes rolling as different parts of the AI clip were clipped and reposted for extra reactions.
One of the most discussed moments came when the video showed LeBron punching Michael Jordan.
@TCCSBN responded by asking, “Why he do unc like that man.” The slang reference to Jordan immediately sparked debate among NBA fans about generational respect.
@Fall60712469 pushed back on that language, replying, “Did you just call the GOAT ‘unc’. Your mom needs to take away your phone.”
The exchange showed how NBA fans mix humor with strong opinions about basketball hierarchy.
Another response leaned fully into the absurdity. @TraphicStop joked, “He hit Jordan so hard he turned into Kevin Garnett.”
That line highlighted the clearly artificial transformation effect in the video and added to the exaggerated tone of the thread.
Despite the chaos, most NBA fans understood the clip was fabricated. The discussion centered more on the comedy than outrage. AI edits featuring high-profile athletes have become common online, especially when rivalry narratives are involved.
The internet delivered another surreal highlight, and NBA fans responded exactly how you would expect.
