Fans turn on LeBron James over The Weeknd tweet

At age 40, LeBron James is showing the world an unprecedented level of play that hasn’t been repeated before. After dropping a historic triple-double at Madison Square Garden, James put a pin in numerous critics’ mouths who keep bringing up his age as an excuse to dismiss his elite athleticism and legacy.

Since then, the world of basketball has been shaken by a blockbuster trade move involving a swap of two major All-Stars. With Anthony Davis leaving Bron to team up with Kyrie Irving in Dallas and Luka Doncic joining the Lakers as their future franchise player, this trade saga has been the talk of the town since the news was delivered by NBA insider Shams Charania.

Of course, King James was also taken aback by the news, despite allegations of being highly influential in front-office decisions. Reacting to one of the most shocking exchange, James posted a couple of stories on his Instagram to show his remorse over the departure of Brow, his right hand during their 2020 championship run. With a crying emoji, James wrote, “Love you, my dog!! Go crazy over there! Woe 4L! See you soon.”

However, soon after this show of sorrow, James struck a totally different tone on Twitter, seemingly hyped up about the release of The Weeknd‘s new album Hurry Up Tomorrow. Giving a shoutout to the artist over another commercial success, he tweeted, “This The Weeknd album Hurry Up Tomorrow so [fire emoji], Abel never disappoints!”

This quick variation in his mood has caught many fans off-guard, who are wondering if the King really was disappointed about the trade, with one fan commenting, “I thought u was sad about AD?” with a hilarious Shannon Sharpe gif.
