LeBron James, who is about to turn 39, is still leaving everyone indifferent on and off the NBA court.
The star forward led the Los Angeles Lakers to a new victory Sunday night against the Houston Rockets. It wasn’t without controversy, due to some of the gestures the four-time MVP made at various points during the regular season and league finals.

In the second quarter, “King James” missed a layup before the game was stopped, triggering a strange signal. He pretended to light an “invisible cigarette” and then passed it to Lakers teammate Christian Wood. In fact, some fans thought the Akron native was pretending to smoke marijuana.
It’s worth mentioning that not long ago, the NBA stopped criminalizing marijuana use, prompting other stars like Kevin Durant to not hesitate to show off using the substance.
At the end of the game against Houston, LeBron scored two goals against the controversial Dillon Brooks and later celebrated with Anthony Davis because the former Memphis Grizzlies were undersized (physical) and about James).
