The tweet that went viral in the U.S. and even brought a smile to ‘King’ James’ wife’s face
Amessage about LeBron James on X (Twiter) went viral on social networks in the United States. And that had almost nothing to do with the strictly sporting facet of ‘King’ James, a reef both for the millions of followers he has and for the also numerous ‘haters’ who do not miss an opportunity to criticize him when something, no matter how small, goes wrong.
In this case it was a joke that went viral when a tweeter posted a message that read: “It has been discovered that LeBron James is sleeping with the mother of his new teammate”.
The statement of the sentence sounded strong, and more so in a country like the United States where sports stars are considered celebrities and what they do off the court, including their relationships or love slips, is closely scrutinized. And even more so in Los Angeles, home of Hollywood and the paparazzi.
However, the impact of the ‘news’ came to naught as soon as one realized that the pun made perfect sense because of the recent addition of LeBron’s son Bronny to the Lakers, who selected him with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. It’s true that LeBron is sleeping with his new teammate’s mother. Specifically with Savannah James, his wife and mother of Bronny.
