Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is making all the headlines despite being sidelined due to injury. Recently, when Cameroon took on Switzerland in the FIFA World Cup, James could be seen taking to the field, or so it seemed.
It wasn’t LeBron himself of course. Rather, it was Bryan Mbeumo, a Cameroonian player who looked just like the Lakers superstar. Former Lakers star Kyle Kuzma was also dragged into the debate as fans compared him to Brazilian star Richarlison. However, the comparison turned ugly as fans roasted Kuzma on Twitter.
