All the two-time Olympic gold medalist could do was take the ground and tremble in deep pain. The gore sight shot a disheartening scene to all the Lakers’ fans out there. However, for Dave Portnoy, the sight brought another chance for him to express his unfeigned perspective.
He took to his X-handle to bustle out, “I was at the movies. I was just told Lebron died during the Celtics game. I know I’ve made fun of him in the past but I’d like to pay my respects.“ with adding a hashtag, #riplebron. However, Being LeBron James seemed not easy.

The series of banter
Just a day before, Dave Portnoy criticized LeBron James’ IG post, where the latter used a certain breather to highlight his career achievement against Oklahoma City. The post showcased a flight passenger ridiculing something in an over-the-top manner, evaporating her disbelief into something. James just edited the post and inserted his celebration avatar in the place where the passenger was abominating looking. That post invited Dave Portnoy to term it ‘cringiest’.
