Watch: Disgruntled LeBron James fan takes revenge on Lakers star after facing refusal for picture together

With his status as a larger-than-life basketball icon, LeBron James gets plenty of attention even when he isn't on the hardwood. Fans understandably want to shake his hand, get an autograph and maybe even get a photo with the LA Lakers superstar when they run into him in public.

A photo was exactly what one fan wanted with LeBron when he ran into the four-time NBA MVP in New York. However, it appears that this particular fan's request was denied, and he wasn't too happy with it.

As a form of vengeance, this fan doxxed LeBron's location and posted it on social media, where it has since gone viral. Check out this clip of a fan doxxing LeBron:

The fan revealed that LeBron James was eating lunch at "Au Cheval" in New York and encouraged fans who wanted a photo with him to come to the location. This disgruntled fan also claimed that LeBron was there with his ex-Miami Heat teammate, with whom he won two championships, Dwyane Wade.

The 2024 NBA draft is being held at Barclays Center in New York City, and LeBron James is most likely around to support his son, Bronny James.

Bronny is projected to go late in the second round, and if he gets selected, he and LeBron will be the first father-and-son duo to play in the NBA at the same time.

Are Bronny and LeBron James going to play on the same team?

Not only can LeBron James and his son Bronny play in the NBA at the same time, but they also have the chance to become teammates.

Bronny is expected to be selected with the 55th pick of the 2024 NBA draft by several scouts and analysts. This particular pick belongs to the LA Lakers, which they acquired via their hometown rivals, the LA Clippers.

If these projections come true, then seeing LeBron and Bronny play on the same team together has an extremely high chance of coming to fruition.

The other half of the equation that needs to be answered is whether LeBron James will pick up the player option on his contract to remain with the Lakers. His deadline to decide is on Saturday (June 29) immediately after the draft.

If the Lakers do end up drafting Bronny, then it's hard to see his father signing elsewhere. LeBron could still end up declining his player option to become an unrestricted free agent, but it'll be because he and the Lakers front office will negotiate a brand new contract.

Of course, the projections for Bronny might not come true at all. A team could snag him earlier in the second round, or he might even end up going undrafted.
