Despite LeBron James’s strong play, he had a terrible season that disappointed many Lakers fans. James tried adding Russell Westbrook, and many older role players to his team; however, it didn’t go as expected. At the start of the season, the team received a lot of support, but by the end, it didn’t even make the playoffs.

As the fans express their disappointment with the team, especially with James, it appears that they are still upset about the team’s performance. As recently as Saturday, there was a lot of anger expressed on social media when James went to the UEFA Champions League final in Paris, France.

During that match, Liverpool FC faced off against Real Madrid. James owns two percent of the Premier League club. At the Stade de France, James supported his team by wearing a suit and holding a wine glass.

Initially, he arrived late and the fans began to blame him for delaying the game for over 30 minutes. However, the venue was to blame, not James. The reason fans are blaming him for this is that before entering the match, he tweeted: “LFC FANS, don’t let the match start until I land. OMW!!”
