<\/p>\nIn year 22, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James is still playing at a high level in the NBA. The 39-year-old is averaging 23.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 8.9 assists per game.<\/p>\n
He even recently became the oldest player in league history to record back-to-back triple-doubles, breaking his own record from a few years ago.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But James isn’t perfect, or at least his spelling isn’t. On Oct. 29, the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the New York Yankees in Game 4 of the World Series.<\/p>\n
In the 2nd inning, Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman smacked a 343-foot home run to give Los Angeles an early 2-0 lead. James left his response to Freeman’s big play on social media.<\/p>\n
“FREDDY FREEMAN WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!!!!,” James wrote on X.<\/em><\/p>\n FREDDY FREEMAN WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2014 LeBron James (@KingJames) October 30, 2024 In a recent episode of the podcast “New Heights,” hosted by Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, Freeman was brought on as a special guest.<\/p>\n The five-time All-MLB star called out James for misspelling his name on his post. ”<\/p>\n He spelled my name wrong,” Freeman said. “He spelled it with a Y. I’m very particular about my name. Spell it right.” Well, James heard Freeman loud and clear and, on Monday, issued an apology to the Dodgers star on an Instagram Story. “FREDDIE!!!” James wrote on his story.<\/p>\n “My bad man! You was the boogie man out there so I just thought like Mr. Kruger!”<\/em><\/p>\n Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James<\/strong><\/p>\n issues apology to Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman Screenshot from LeBron James Instagram Story Screenshot from LeBron James Instagram Story “Mr. Kruger” is a reference to the popular character Freddy Krueger from the horror movie “A Nightmare on Elm Street.”<\/p>\n Unfortunately for James, his spelling mistakes continued as he forgot to add the first “e” in “Krueger.”<\/p>\n If there is one thing to take away from these two minor errors, it’s that the four-time NBA champion and the player that many people consider the GOAT is human, after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In year 22, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James is still playing at a high level in the NBA.
