NBA fans are massively trolling LeBron James after a viral video has been circulating showing the legendary hooper practicing his golf swing during the Suns game. James is an avid golfer, and the player seems to be getting really good at the sport, but fans definitely did not expect him to be shadow-practicing during a basketball game.
The Lakers did end up winning against the Suns, with James himself churning out 26 points on the scoreboard. Of course, he was not the team’s lead scorer and that honor goes to Luka Doncic who ended up with 29 points of his own. Fans have been sharing hilarious takes on James’ behavior, coming up with brilliant jokes at the legendary hooper’s actions.
“LeBron was practicing his golf swing during the game. This f***ery won’t go on for much longer,” Barstool Sports tweeted, sharing a video clip of LeBron practicing his golf swing.

“Jordan is going to take so much money of this dude on the course,” one fan said.
“Bro is checked out,” another fan added.
“Disrespecting the game invites consequences soon,” one more fan predicted.
NBA Fans Feel LeBron James Is Ready To Retire From League
On the other side, many NBA fans also trolled LeBron James in the comments, by stating that the player is perhaps ready to retire soon from the league. James has been playing an awful lot of golf in the last few months, and with the baller turning older as years go by, his retirement announcement is definitely round the corner.
“I bet his sciatica didn’t stop him from golfing the last few months he was out,” one fan said.

“They always end up playing golf. Best sport ever.” One more fan reacted.
“Ready for retirement,” another fan added.
LeBron James has not made the usual splash this NBA season, even joining the campaign a bit too late. However, his absence was not once missed since Luka Doncic has taken over the team as lead scorer. While James has definitely lit up the scoreboard, the Lakers and the player have been accused by fans and critics of simply doing the minimum to pad his stats. Nevertheless, the Lakers themselves seem to be in pretty good hands with Doncic manning the wheel.
