Alabama star guard Mark Sears' mom, Lameka Sears, became the talk of the town during No. 4 seed Crimson Tide's clash against No. 13 seed Charleston (28-7) in the NCAA Tournament First Round on Friday. She went viral on social media for imitating her son's free throw routine while in the stands and even got into a defensive stance when the Cougars were on the offense.
Fans on social media were then quick to react to Lameka's video.
"She doin all that for the clout," one fan wrote.
"Damn yall mothers don't love yall," added another.
"It is always about them......... this is your son's time, let him have his time...stay out of it!" a third commented.
"Look at me, look at me, look at me! Let your son have the moment!" a fourth posted.
