Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is getting clowned by basketball fans who have accused him of trying to copy former Louisiana State University star Angel Reese.

The four-time NBA champion was getting some shots up before a crucial late-season fixture against his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, on Saturday. And the Lakers took to Twitter/X to post a video of him getting a workout in with trainer Phil Handy.

Everyone noticed the same thing about LBJ’s attire given that his shorts were rolled up pretty high up his thigh while he wore a sleeve on his left leg. Check it out below:

“Why is he dressed like @Reese10Angel,” one user asked.

“Angel Reese influence on the game will be remembered,” another wrote.

LeBron James Is A Huge Fan Of Women’s Basketball

It’s no secret that LeBron James is a huge fan of the women’s game, so perhaps he was just trying to show Angel Reese some love.

“I don’t think there’s much difference between the men’s and women’s game when it comes to college basketball,” he told ESPN earlier this week. “I think the popularity comes in with the icons that they have in the women’s game. You look at Angel Reese, you look at JuJu [Watkins], you look at Caitlin Clark, you look at Paige [Bueckers].”

Meanwhile, Reese has announced that she will be entering the WNBA Draft. The 21-year-old, who led LSU to a national title last year, exited the NCAA Tournament at the Elite Eight stage this year and has since opted to go pro.

Reese reckons she’s achieved everything she set out to achieve in college basketball and is ready to start all over again in the WNBA.
