“Chasing the bag in every sport” Fans react to spotting LeBron James’ doppelganger at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar
Bryan Mbeumo, LeBron James
One of the most well-known athletes on the entire planet is LeBron James. Despite the fact that basketball may not be a very well-known sport worldwide, he is famous everywhere. James is now injured and has missed five NBA games as a result. Fans on social media, however, noted that he resembled Bryan Mbeumo, a forward for Cameroon at the FIFA World Cup.
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are undoubtedly having a difficult time right now. The Los Angeles Lakers started the 2022–23 season with a 2–9 record after some bad performances from its best players. The Lakers’ season got off to a bad start as they lost their first five games just as it seemed they were improving. The Lakers, who are presently 5-11 overall, are without LeBron due to an injury, yet he still found time to represent Cameron at the FIFA world cup.
Cameroon recently had the opportunity to play against Switzerland at the world cup which is currently being held in Qatar. Many people noticed a Cameroonian player who looked remarkably similar to LeBron James and some fans mistook the man for the Lakers player because of his beard and hairdo. Naturally, it was Cameroonian superstar Bryan Mbeumo.
Mbeumo, who presently competes for Brentford in the Premier League, is a great player himself. Cameroon ultimately lost their opening match in Qatar against Switzerland by a goal where Mbeumo put on a great display, and they are placed in an extremely difficult group with Brazil and Serbia.

Fans react to LeBron James’ doppelganger

These are the reactions of fans on Twitter:
After wasting valuable time due to a groin injury, he will finally play against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. With the Lakers currently 5-11 on the year, they could really use his return. In his final four seasons, which unfortunately included all of them with the Lakers, James has sustained more injuries.
Bron is averaging 24.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 6.9 assists in 10 games in 2022–23 while shooting a dismal 23% from long distance. The Lakers can win the championship if he quickly improves and Anthony Davis maintains his incredible form.
