LeBron James saw Esteban Ocon being interviewed and couldn’t help but interrupt it

Basketball star LeBron James couldn’t help but interrupt Esteban Ocon’s interview when he spotted the F1 driver.

The Alpine ace and Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc met James ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 116-110 victory over the Trail Blazers on Sunday.

James got a helmet from Ocon and managed to get a shirt from Leclerc.

But that didn’t stop the American from brazenly interrupting O’Connell’s interview.

While the 27-year-old is deep in conversation, James can be seen walking behind the camera while hilariously making racing noises.

He also moved his hand in the direction of the Frenchman, who smiled and then laughed at James’ gesture.

Fans certainly loved his car noise impression and were quick to share it on Instagram.

Someone said: “Ocon took a 5-second penalty, and LeBron fouled the free throw, haha.”

Another added: “Bruch, he’s doing bike acceleration for F1.”

A third wrote: “Ocon +5 penalties.”

James is currently sidelined due to a tibia injury he sustained in a collision with Kevin Durant in the first quarter against the Phoenix Suns on Friday night.

The Lakers star is the leading scorer in NBA history, and Lakers head coach Davin Hamm said his injury is “day to day.”

This resulted in the veteran missing the first game of the season as he approached his 39th birthday in December.
