LeBron James Disses Celtics Star Jaylen Brown at the All-Star Game
LeBron James was seen walking into the locker room at the all-star game and gave everyone a handshake and a hug, except for Jaylen Brown.
At the San Francisco 2025 NBA All-Star Game, old nemeses LeBron James of the Lakers and Jaylen Brown of the Celtics were on the same team together.
The duo were on Shaquille O'Neal's team, "Shaq's OGs," under the newly employed format of the contest. But on a whim, LeBron announced that he would no longer participate.
Prior to tipoff, LeBron greeted All-Star teammates within the locker room, handshaking and hugging, except Brown, to whom LeBron extended only his hand.
Though mundane on its face, NBA fans immediately swamped social media speculating that this was out of retaliation by LeBron on behalf of Brown's earlier statements on Bronny James, LeBron's son, in the Summer League.
Social media immediately swamped speculating that LeBron's brief encounter amounted to a covert act of retaliation on LeBron's part to Brown's statements.
