James spilled all of these facts in an episode of ‘The Shop‘ that was released on October 7, 2022. But did you know that once upon a time, King James was a wedding crasher himself?

NBA fans might not know this but LeBron James once crashed a Jewish wedding. Although it was unintended, the Los Angeles Lakers star ended up becoming a wedding crasher. This incident was revealed by Lee Jenkins, executive director of research and identity for the Los Angeles Clippers. Back when Jenkins was an NBA writer for Sports Illustrated, he had interviewed James two days after he won his first championship.

After James arrived with his sons and a few friends, Jenkins suggested they do the interview on the veranda as the wedding guests were not out yet.

Things turned out well as LeBron James entered the wedding venue and even went on to take a picture with the bride and groom.
