LeBron James has long been accustomed to the praise and criticism of being a superstar. The Los Angeles Lakers star has faced scrutiny not only for his performance on the court but also for his family, particularly his son, Bronny James. Through it all, the 39-year-old has maintained his composure.
However, it seems LeBron’s patience has reached its limit. On Wednesday, the Lakers legend announced on his X account that he would be stepping away from social media.
“And with that said I’ll holla at y’all! Getting off social media for the time being. Y’all take care,” LeBron tweeted.
The announcement surprised NBA fans, especially given the Lakers’ stellar start to the season. With a 10-4 record, the team holds the third spot in the Western Conference. The team recently defeated the Utah Jazz in a thrilling 124-118 victory.
LeBron’s decision to log off has sparked mixed reactions from fans. Some view it as a strategic choice to focus entirely on his game and help the Lakers contend for another championship.
