"I don’t think there has ever been a “star” in LA who is this out of touch with the city," commented another fan.
"I say this with peace and love and as a lifelong Laker fan and in awe of what he can STILL do on the court at his age and with the “mileage” he has on his body. My GAWD he is insufferable," wrote another user.
"Or he’s asking for a replay," another user commented.
"According to Lebron, 70k+ were there to see him, and the Rams just happened to also be there," a fan said.
