It’s an honor for me to be part of this historic moment in motorsports and help celebrate the Centenary of one of the biggest sporting events in the world. I look forward to kicking off this iconic race and watching its world-class drivers compete on Le Mans’ global stage.”
LeBron James kicked off 24 Hours of Le Mans on Saturday Afternoon by waving the French flag. He also gave the starting command to all the drivers participating in the race. And, he gave the starting command not in English as being a man of culture he used the French language to do so.
LeBron James commanding the drivers said: “Pilotes démarrez vos moteurs.” Basically, it was Born telling the driver to start their engine. He really would have practised the line multiple times and did a great job while executing it. But unfortunately, the internet wins again as James is getting clowned on Twitter for speaking in French.
