Social media users slammed him, saying hes repulsive, entitled, and a classless little man.
But things took a turn when the NBA star snapped and told the child to stop.
But the internet couldnt ignore his brief interaction with the excited-turned-disappointed child.
Look at him gesturing and belittling that little kid.
This boy is a child who idolizes him, and he couldnt give him a second of his time.
Some felt his reaction put a damper on Team USAs celebration of the gold win.
I definitely dont think its fair to judge him as a person with this one interaction, one wrote.
Regardless, the picture would have taken 1 second.
He could have just said no in a respectful manner.

LeBron James is nothing short of repulsive.
Hes NOT a role model in the least.
One called him an entitled millionaire who has no morals, while another said, Hes an insufferable narcissist.
Would have taken 5 seconds.
The same amount of time of his dance moves at the entrance.
Ive been saying it for years; LeBron James is a disgrace to America, wrote another.
Four years from now, no, I cant see myself [playing at the Olympics].
