At the age of 39, LeBron James is no longer the best star of the National Basketball Association (NBA), but he is still the name that attracts the most attention in this playground.

At this point, LeBron James is almost 40 years old and is no longer as energetic as before. Although the star born in 1984 is not in the top scorers of the NBA 2023 – 2024, he is still an indispensable factor at the Los Angeles Lakers . At an age when many other players have retired, King James is still persistent, often playing the most minutes on the team and scoring efficiency is only behind teammate Anthony Davis (born in 1993).

With his name and outstanding performance in the Lakers jersey, LeBron James is still a character that attracts a lot of attention from basketball fans. According to statistics, the “veteran” of the Lakers is the person who attracts the most views on the NBA’s social media platforms. As of this point in the 2023-2024 season, James has 756 million views.

Meanwhile, the second place is a big surprise when it belongs to Victor Wembanyama (508 million views). This French player is only 19 years old (born in 2004) and is an NBA rookie in the San Antonio Spurs club. Since the beginning of the 2023 – 2024 season, this 2.24 m tall shooter has become a new phenomenon in the NBA, playing 25 games and scoring an average of 18.5 points/game.

Number 3 on the list of the hottest names in the NBA is Stephen Curry , the Golden State Warriors’ excellent 3-point shooter.

From 4th to 10th place, respectively: Kevin Durant – 259 million views, Giannis Antetokounmpo – 259 million views, Luka Doncic – 199 million views, Tyrese Haliburton – 146 million views, James Harden – 146 million views, Chet Holmgren – 122 million views, Jayson Tatum – 118 million views.

This list is confusing, as it does not include the brightest star of the NBA at the moment. The current MVP of the tournament, Joel Embiid, although still maintaining his destructive form and currently leading the scoring list with an average of 35.1 points/game, does not have enough appeal to be in the top 10 most viewed athletes in the NBA.

“Where Is The Flag On Beyoncé“: Social Media Is Destroying The NFL After Cameras Caught Beyonce’s Disgusting Gesture During Her Halftime Performance On Christmas Day

The NFL and Beyonce are being criticized on the back of the latter’s halftime performance during the Christmas Day showdown between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens.

The fixture, streamed exclusively on Netflix, saw the Ravens pick up a convincing 31-2 victory.

Beyonce gave the crowd quite the performance at halftime but sparked some controversy after making a gun gesture with her fingers.

Fans Wanted Fines And Flags For Beyonce 

Fans thought it strange that Beyonce could bust out the guns while NFL players get fined for it. They thought she should have at least gotten flagged.

“Where is the flag on Beyoncé for the finger guns?!?!” someone asked.

“Queen Bey’s tone-deaf finger gun display at Netflix’s Christmas game highlights celebrity privilege, while NFL players get fined for basic touchdown celebrations,” a user chimed in.

“Would just like to note that Beyoncé is doing the double gun gesture which is banned in the NFL and a 15 yard penalty,” someone else added.

“Xavier worthy gets a 15 yard penalty for lifting his shirt (pretending he has a gun in his belt) but Beyoncé can fake shoot at halftime? “Bang” Does the NFL fine her?” a fan asked.

Of course, the league couldn’t have known the artist would perform such a gesture and probably didn’t brief her accordingly. But she could well afford to pay any fine thrown at her if there were any possibility.

Beyonce Has Been Taking On Criticism From Elsewhere Heading Into The End Of The Year

Beyonce has come under fire elsewhere in recent months, given the scrutiny now being afforded to celebrities with close ties to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in the wake of his arrest.

Her husband, Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter, was recently named in a lawsuit alleging the rape of a 13-year-old girl. The rapper has denied the allegations and gone on the offensive.

Beyonce herself has been accused of possibly taking part in questionable activity involving children, with former NFL star Larry Johnson claiming he heard her saying something very offputting to a child at a party.

The artist’s newest album, “Cowboy Carter,” has been a source of controversy as well. While it denotes her Texas heritage, it has split the opinion as some have praised her creativity while others feel like it’s overly s3xualized.
