LeBron Brushes Off Fan's 'Space Jam 2' Shout, Melo Laughs It Off

As the 2025-26 NBA season approaches, a recent incident at a Los Angeles Lakers practice has sparked discussion about how different players handle fan interactions.

On November 12th, 2025, just two days before this summary, a fan in the stands enthusiastically shouted praise for LeBron James' performance in the movie 'Space Jam 2'. However, LeBron, who was on the court at the time, chose to ignore the comment. In contrast, Carmelo Anthony, who was also present, found the whole situation amusing and was seen laughing at the fan's persistence.

The fan's own social media posts indicate that their 'Space Jam 2' shout-out was genuine, not sarcastic. But LeBron, perhaps assuming it was a jab at the film's mixed reviews, decided not to engage. Melo, on the other hand, seemed to appreciate the fan's energy and enthusiasm.

Despite the courtside distraction, LeBron's main focus remains on his return to the court. He has been practicing with the South Bay Lakers, the team's G-League affiliate, and is expected to make his season debut with the Los Angeles Lakers in the coming days. According to reports, he has shown no lingering effects from his recent workouts.

As the Lakers wrap up their current road trip, LeBron has stayed behind to continue his training, demonstrating his dedication to the upcoming season. Moments like the unexpected 'Space Jam 2' shout-out serve as a reminder that even when NBA stars are off the court, the chaos of the league always finds a way to find them.
