He also tweeted a poll asking his fans, “Should they let me tweet during games?” To no one’s surprise, over 80% of respondents voted “Yes.” Whether or not this will lead to any policy changes remains to be seen, but LeBron’s casual response to his ejection has only added fuel to the fire.

“Man, I’ve been playing this game for 21 seasons. If I want to take a quick pic, I don’t see why that’s a big deal,” LeBron said during a post-game interview, which he attended despite not finishing the game. “I mean, can you imagine MJ getting kicked out for using his pager during a timeout? Nah, this is just weird.”

The incident has sparked intense debate among fans, with opinions split right down the middle. Some supporters believe that LeBron was simply being himself and connecting with his fanbase, which is part of what makes him so popular. “Why can’t he tweet? He’s literally the face of the league. It’s not like he was missing layups to update his status,” one fan commented on Twitter.
