LeBron James has built a solid brand both on the court and off the court. His image as a dedicated father and a faithful husband is iconic. Fans consider him as an example to follow. He’s someone who has balanced both his personal and public life in the face of the bright lights of the NBA. However, a former reality TV star played a spoilsport on his mostly untarnished image.

She made a wild claim that even left one of the former NBA players in stitches.

Christina Salgado, who was born and brought up in New Jersey, achieved fame when she joined Oxygen’s popular TV show Bad Girls Club back in 2012. Her looks and her demeanor made her earn the nickname The Sultry Spitfire. However, it is her recent comments that have turned heads more than anything. In a clip that is originally from July 2022, Salgado boldly stated that James waited three hours for her at the airport.

She claimed, ”It is a true story. LeBron James waited at an airport for three hours, and I never showed up. I know most girls would have hopped on that flight, and they would have been sweating it. I was like, ‘Yeah, no bro, I found out that you’re married.'”

She goes on, “I don’t watch sports, first of all. Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t watch sports. So, I didn’t even know who he really was. I remembered I just had [LeBron’s] sneakers one time. So I was like, ‘Oh, you’re that guy.’ Then I found out he was married and this was gonna ruin my image.”

Nate Robinson, who was a teammate with Shaquille O’Neal in his Boston Celtics days, had a lot of fun with this story. The former Knicks phenom posted multiple comments. He didn’t believe in her narrative and wrote, “She’s all cap 🧢 lol”.

But he also seemed curious about her looks, commenting, “Tag 🏷️ her IG lol we need to see the rest of her body 1st b4 we say cap”. Robinson’s reaction was among other reactions that favored James.

While we may never know about the behind-the-scenes life of a celebrity, LeBron’s screen presence with Savannah is widely celebrated. During the recent ESPYs, she called the Los Angeles Lakers Point Forward the baddest and greatest in a jovial manner and almost used a swear word in excitement.
