LeBron James, fresh from winning a gold medal at the Olympics, was caught on camera yelling at a young fan who tried to take a picture with him outside a club in Paris. The fan, who was visibly shaken, had done nothing wrong and was simply trying to get a selfie with his idol. James’ reaction was surprising, given his reputation as a kind and generous person.

The incident was a stark contrast to James’ behavior just moments earlier when he was celebrating with his teammates and popping bottles outside the arena. It’s possible that James was feeling overwhelmed or frustrated, but his reaction was still uncalled for.

James has indicated that this may have been his last Olympics, saying that he can’t see himself playing in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. At 43, it would be a remarkable achievement if he were still playing at an Olympic level.
