LeBron James has had fans’ attention throughout his career but during the All-Star Weekend, it wasn’t pleasant. James became a topic of discussion on social media and fans’ were ‘cringing’ over his on-court celebration. Team Giannis and Team LeBron went head to head during the recent all-star game on Monday. Team Giannis handed a crushing defeat to Team LeBron, winning the game 175-184.

An on-court celebration in a defeat may sound out of place but from the video circulating on the internet, it looks intentional. James, who suffered an injury on his right hand while going for a block, was taken off at the half time. In the total 14 minutes he played, James had 13 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists.

LeBron’s On-Court Celebration

In his celebration on the court, LeBron can be seen pointing at wrist watch as he walks across the court. Damian Lillard hit a 3-pointer to seal the deal in the final seconds of the game and that is when LeBron did his ‘celebration’ which had the fans cringe. Lillard had a good game in the mostly boring outing of the NBA all-stars. He finished the game with 26 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds.
