While LeBron James was apparently accompanied by an unidentified female friend, security intervened to prevent a fan from taping the Los Angeles Lakers star.

A video that went viral on social media seems to capture the 38-year-old sitting on a stool at a semicircular table with two other individuals, giving the impression that they might have been at a casino.

You can make out a man and a lady seated next to the Lakers’ power forward in the distance. The cameraman seemed to be making a claim that James had been sitting next to her.

Since it is unclear if the woman in the video was with James or the other man, people have speculated as to why James would have preferred not to be publicly recorded with her.

Fan security feature prevents recording

A video of LeBron James allegedly gambling was posted to TikTоk with the caption: “LeBron James caught lacking in Las Vegas yesterday.” This information is based on Game 7.

When security officers intervened to take the fan’s recording device, it became unclear what had transpired.

Another issue is the lack of a time stamp in the film, which makes it hard to tell when exactly the events shown happened.

Security personnel made sure the man did not meet the American basketball hero because it was obvious James was not happy about being recorded.

Unforgettable Week for LeBron

On and off the court, the four-time NBA champion and MVP has had a rough go of it.

While attending his son Bronny’s first collegiate basketball game, he entered the arena during the playing of the national anthem, for which he has already drawn criticism.

Video of James, his younger son Bryce, and two of his Sierra Canyon High School teammates entering the arena was shared on X by Orange County Register reporter Luca Evans.

Many saw James’s decision to sit down and keep his hat on during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner anthem as an affront to the sacred tradition.
