Fans React to Regina Hall

Following Regina Hall’s trolling of LeBron’s hairline, the Twitterverse went berserk. They hilariously claimed that everyone at the Oscars were making hairline related jokes, and that Savannah James, LeBron’s wife, would also look to shut down Regina Hall similarly to what Chris Rock endured against Will Smith.

Regina Hall’s words left the Twitterverse astounded with plenty of comments from the fans. Regardless, it’s a movie after all. Moreover, LeBron James will have to use his basketball capabilities on the NBA floor to help the Lakers win. With their latest loss against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Lakers are now in the 10th seed of the Western Conference. This has only depreciated the chances of the ‘King’ even making the play-in tournament, let alone the playoffs. With whatever games the Lakers have left, LeBron will aim to win them all despite the odds being stacked against him.
