LeBron James mistakenly thought the Paris crowd cheered him during the quarterfinal game against Brazil.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar reacted to the cheers at Bercy Arena by performing his signature crowning move.
As James sat on the bench, fans chanted “Leon” for French swimmer Léon Marchand, who won gold and was in attendance.
James likely misinterpreted the chants of “Leon” as “LeBron.”
Despite this amusing mix-up, Team USA crushed Brazil 122-87.
The victory advanced the Americans to the semifinals of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
They are set for a rematch against Serbia, whom they defeated by 26 points in the group stage.
James’s misunderstanding provided a light-hearted moment during an otherwise dominant performance by Team USA.
