LeBron James acting cool goes wrong, gets trolled for lamest IG edit

LeBron James is known for his maneuvering ability on the hardwood, but trying to show off like a Gen Z on social media is not his area of expertise. In doing so, he eventually made himself a mockery, and the whole purpose went horribly wrong.

What actually happened?

The Los Angeles Lakers played the Sacramento Kings as a visiting team in Golden 1 Center, where LeBron managed a pregame photo of an empty house depicting the word “King,” his moniker. He even posted it on his Instagram account. The problem is that the actual word was ‘Kings’; the surname of Sacramento. James did a noob play by editing the letter ‘S’ out.

The doctored picture came to light eventually, as netizens noticed the spot on ‘S’. King James became a laughingstock as a result of his desperate attempt to appear cool. Though, the Lakers legend didn’t take it personally or even removed the image from social media.
