His popularity has soared, but a recent incident during a game against Brazil had fans laughing at his expense.<\/p>\n<p>During Team USA\u2019s dominant 122-87 victory over Brazil in the Olympic quarterfinals, James had to leave the game after taking an elbow to the head. Upon his return, with less than three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, James walked over to the Team USA bench. At that exact moment, the crowd erupted in cheers as French swimmer Leon Marchand was shown on the big screen.<\/p>\n<p>Mistakenly believing the applause was for him, James acknowledged the crowd\u2019s enthusiasm. This mix-up led to a hilarious reaction from fans both in the stadium and on social media. Many couldn\u2019t help but laugh at James\u2019 overconfidence, mocking him for the gaffe.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the reactions:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Crowd started cheering and LeBron thought it was for him, but it was for gold medal french swimmer L\u00e9on Marchand in the crowd <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z0e5lHMrQ0\">pic.twitter.com\/Z0e5lHMrQ0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u15e9\u144eT \u15ef\u1587IG\u157cT (@itsAntWright) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/itsAntWright\/status\/1820932237593858351?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Bro really thinks he is the main character all the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 just1n (@just1nvest) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/just1nvest\/status\/1820965237660463402?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">He\u2019s so used to it haha<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jack Blaze \ud83c\udff4\u200d\u2620\ufe0f (@CabinBoyCrypto) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CabinBoyCrypto\/status\/1820993249470980412?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 7, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">LeComedy<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Polymarket Sports (@PolymarketSport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PolymarketSport\/status\/1820933407213298135?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"fr\">Le-Narcissist \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\udc80<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 I\u1d04\u1d07\u1d05 V\u1d00\u029f\u026a\u1d00\u0274\u1d1b (@IcedValiant) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IcedValiant\/status\/1820974635468394576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 7, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>LeBron, who had already\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/nba\/social-media-gave-lebron-james-a-perfect-new-nickname-after-leading-team-usa-to-victory-against-serbia-at-the-olympics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">earned a new nickname<\/a>\u00a0after his dominating performance against Serbia, now has a fresh batch of nicknames from amused fans.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<h2 id=\"h-steve-kerr-provides-injury-update-on-lebron-james\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steve Kerr Provides Injury Update on LeBron James<\/h2>\n<p>LeBron James has been a consistent starter for Team USA throughout the Paris Olympics, but in the quarterfinals against Brazil, he left the court with an injury for the first time.
