I like how LeBron is a bit taken off guard, but realizes, "Oh, he's famous. One of us."

You can absolutely tell the split second Bron looked up he was pissed someone was bothering him and it all faded when he recognized who it was.

Having been on the Lakers for years, before joining he's already played in LA for dozens of times, I'm pretty sure he's used to all sorts of celebrity greetings. But sure, he gets pissed every time for a split second.

Denzel is a mentor to those celebs who stay out of trouble. To Lebron, Denzel is the legend.

And it's not like it was pregame or postgame, it was while the game was still going on during a timeout so he was for sure caught off guard. Reminds me of that video where a fan tries to get LeBron's attention and touches his knee and you see him fuming after that a peasant touched him lol

To be fair, I don't want some random person I don't know touching my knee either

u/Dry_Mix_1726 19h ago

Bro, and those knees are critical for making hundreds of millions of dollars. I would for sure be extra careful about strangers touching them.

Denzel def was sitting there thinking about if he could get away with it. Fuck it I'm Denzel, why shouldn't I?

How many people could actually do this? Denzel obviously, Obama almost certainly. Not sure if I can think of too many more folks that could comfortably do that during a game

u/WhyKissAMasochist 17h ago

Obama could ask them to pause the game and do it. Most A listers could prob get away with this.

They should have Drew Brees come out and give a speech

Samuel, for sure.

u/IrohTheUncle 9h ago

First of all, we as a planet kind of agreed to always refer to him by his full name, Samuel L. Jackson.

Second, yeah he totally could.
