Considering his popularity and fame, LeBron James has to deal with thousands of fans wherever he goes. This includes the media and paparazzi, along with fans that crowd a venue for one glimpse. What some people overlook is the comfort of the celebrity, crowding them on some occasions.
In a recent video, veteran actor Tom Hanks was seen snapping at people for almost tripping his wife.

Naturally, James had something to say about the situation. The four-time NBA Champion could probably relate a little, reaching out to share his views. The highlight, of course, was Hanks losing his cool.
LeBron James reacts to viral Tom Hanks video on Twitter
In the Hanks video, the usually calm actor is visibly angry at those who almost hurt his wife Rita Wilson. The 65-year-old is seen hurling expletives while asking them to ‘back off’.
I just saw the Tom Hanks clip of his wife almost being trampled over by the paparazzi. What the fuck ever happened to personal space?? Now if Tom would have stole on one of them, he would be the one in the wrong and probably sued! How are they protected more than he and his wife?

James, who saw the video, seemed confused and angry about the same. The Los Angeles Lakers star wondered why there was no personal space, siding with Hanks. He even added that any retaliation from Hanks would have only worked against the actor.
Most users seemed to agree with James. They agreed that people should be careful, and avoid mobbing celebrities in public places. Of course, some fans argued that nothing about their intent was malicious.
That being said, James is a big influence on social media. The Akron native often speaks to his followers candidly, commenting on matters that draw his attention.
