“..I Was Just Told Lebron [James] Died,” Says Dave Portnoy After LA Lakers Star Walks Out Injured on Christmas Day

December 23 watched a swashbuckling LeBron James whipping through the basketball arena without loitering. However, King James hardly faced an obstruction on or off the court, defying his possibilities. After warming the bench against the topper Minnesota game, James took his best stride against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He huddled less in scoring a season-high 40 points. However, the Christmastide outing wasn’t the same for the LA Lakers’ point forward. 

Yesterday, LeBron James couldn’t outperform the assaulting Celtics. Moreover, his stint on the court welcomed a sharp jab from Dave Portnoy, who already dwindled himself on certain statements.

LeBron James started his battle against the Boston Celtics on the same page that he left against Oklahoma. But a bang on his knee against Jaylen Brown from the opposite camp dismantled the tone.

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. 

However, LeBron James’ absence in the game hurt the LA Lakers’ chances as they went down with a 126-115 final scoreline. Minimizing Dave Portnoy’s hashtag campaign, the 38-year-old NBA luminary informed his wellness after the game. “My knee is a little sore right now,” he could add in the revelation. However, for the CEO of Barstool Sports, the occasions of LeBron James brought in many hues of unlike merriments previously.

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’. 

Even Portnoy showed his discomfort with the activities of LeBron James on or off-court. However, in certain events, the social media personality bit the bullet to accept that the NBA legend possesses something that was missing in the legends before. The latest row might add itself to that series that has been going on for the last few years.
