MLB fans hilariously question LeBron James' baseball knowledge after star commends Miguel Rojas for impressive play: "It’s NOT basketball season"

Miguel Rojas' mic'd-up defensive play during Sunday's matchup against the San Francisco Giants might have caught the attention of one of the greatest athletes of all time, LeBron James, but MLB fans weren't having any of it.

"This really was a fire moment 👀 #LeBronJames #Dodgers" - MLB Life, X.

The basketball legend was relentlessly trolled on social media, with fans going as far as to question his knowledge about baseball.

LeBron took to his personal Instagram account to commend Rojas on his incredible second innings play, even conceding that he might have to add that move to his arsenal.

"This is super. May have to add that to one of my games this year for like a quarter," LeBron James wrote on his Instagram story.

But no one expected what was coming up next! The LA Lakers star faced flack from numerous MLB fans, with the general message seeming to be to tell him to stick to his own sport. Fans also suggested it was a publicity stunt from the basketball great.
