LeBron James was in top form on Sunday night, hitting a game-sealing three-pointer from near half-court to help the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Utah Jazz 128-117 and clinch the No. 7 seed. But his celebration after the shot drew some criticism and ridicule from fans and analysts.
James, who is widely known as “King”, celebrated his eighth three-pointer of the night by placing an imaginary crown on his head after sinking it. The gesture was seen by some as arrogant and disrespectful, especially since James has been a below-par three-point shooter this season.
Skip Bayless, a notorious LeBron critic, took to Twitter to mock James for his celebration, calling him “LeBricks”. He tweeted, “LeBron puts an imaginary crown on his head after hitting his 8th three in 14 tries to hold off Utah without its best three players. ALL SEASON LEBRON HAS BEEN AN EMBARRASSMENT FROM 3 – ONE OF THE NBA’S WORST 3-POINT SHOOTERS. Just pathetic. King of what? LeBricks???“
James himself did not seem bothered by the criticism, as he posted a video of his celebration on his Instagram story with the caption “Year 20!! Still at it!”
The Lakers will now face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the play-in tournament on Tuesday, with the winner securing the No. 7 seed and facing the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. James will be hoping to collect his fifth NBA title and fifth NBA Finals MVP award in about six weeks.

Some fans also joined in on the trolling with Skip Bayless, posting memes and jokes about James’ celebration. However, not everyone was amused by the backlash. Some defended James, saying he was just having fun and showing confidence. They also pointed out that James had a stellar performance, scoring 36 points and leading his team to a crucial win.
LeBron James’ crown celebration may seem harmless, but it reveals a lot about his mindset and legacy. James has always been confident and competitive, but he also knows that he is nearing the end of his career and has to prove himself until he calls it a day on his storied career.
Whether you love him or hate him, you have to respect LeBron James for his longevity, consistency, and excellence. He is one of the greatest players of all time, and he deserves to celebrate his achievements.
