With over four million views, the video has triggered outrage among social media users. “LeBron James is the epitome of trash in the NBA,” a user wrote. “Not a fan of LeBron James who is anti-America, pro-China, and was still somehow the flagbearer for America,” another user commented.

“I would hope that a man worth over $1 billion could show a little understanding for a kid who wants a photo,” a third user reacted.

The US defeated France for the second Olympic final in a row, with James back in the squad and four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry making his tournament debut.
