NBA Twitter reacts to LeBron James’ embarrassing fall

In the recent game against the San Antonio Spurs, LeBron James lost his footing in a desperate attempt to keep the ball in play. Bleacher Report shared a short clip showing James’ fall that had fans in splits. The Lakers scored 51 points against the Spurs’ 54 in the second quarter when ‘King James’ chased after a ball that was going out of the court. While trying to hurl the ball back in to keep the game going, the 18x All-Star lost his footing and crashed into a courtside fan in an awkward hugging position. The ‘Akron Hammer’ then rapidly got back into the game after asking the fan if he was fine.

Interestingly, this incident took place just a day after James fell over the front line of the courtside seats and landed on his back during the game against the Clippers. Fortunately, the game resumed with James getting back on the court seemingly unhurt.
