Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James ridiculed Kyle Rittenhouse in a tweet Wednesday because the defendant cried on the witness stand while describing the events that forced him to kill two assailants, Fox News reported.
James even impleid that Rittenhouse was spouting crocodile tears.
What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court. ??? https://t.co/LKwYssIUmD

Yet, James himself has pouted about far less significant things, including when the Phoenix Suns eliminated the Lakers in the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs and he stormed off the court before the game had ended, RedState reported.
Fans recognize that James is prone to temper tantrums.
One woman nearly got caught making a crying face about James behind his back while she sat in the front row of a Cavaliers game.

There are several compilations on YouTube in which James flops like a soccer player and whines about bad calls.

Hey King, any support for your fellow NBA player @EnesKanter speaking out against the mass extermination of ethnic Muslims in China? You f***ing coward.

James previously suffered foot-in-mouth disease after a tweet that attacked a police officer who had shot a knife-wielding teen as she lunged at another girl.
He later deleted the tweet “YOU’RE NEXT,” which came in the immediate wake of the Derek Chauvin verdict in the George Floyd murder trial.
“YOU’RE NEXT”
This post by @KingJames could be read as an incitement to violence against a @ColumbusPolice officer who responded to the attempted stabbing attack by #MakhiaBryant.
