In a match where LeBron James took the well-deserved credit for making the Lakers win, he met with an incident with Draymond Green. While James was heading towards to rim, Green’s finger made contact with the NBA Star’s eye. And as a result, James was found lying on the floor for several minutes. The medical staff had to intervene and help the player with eyedrops in the middle of the game.

In the post-match conference, James discussed the incident quite dramatically which left some of his fans laughing at his statements. He said“After the Draymond finger to the eye, I was literally seeing three rims out there. So, I just shot to the middle one.” People didn’t believe that the player was hurt so bad and instead made fun of him.

Spiranac answered her trolls and fat-shamers

Spiranac’s pictures received numerous reactions from her critics and trolls who chose to fat-shame her after she recently appeared on TV. The ex-golfer was called to throw the ceremonial pitch between New York Yankees and Milwaukee Brewers. Fans saw the golfer and pointed out that she had gained some weight. However, her answer to those fat-shamers was, “I am the happiest I feel like I’ve ever been and that is probably why I have gained a little weight.” Spiranac has been in her best shape for the longest time. And if she has decided to gain some weight for any reason, people should understand that it is wrong to call people out for their body weight.
