In a surprising twist, LeBron teamed up with some of YouTube’s biggest golf creators this week, joining Robby Berger, Fat Perez, Joey Coldcuts, and the rest of the Bob Does Sports crew.
During the round, LeBron brought up the infamous 2025 Barstool “Internet Invitational,” a tournament filled with cheating accusations.
LeBron didn’t shy away from the drama. While chatting with the creators, he laughed and said there were “some discrepancies” in that event. When someone asked if he believed the slope was turned on.
That one moment instantly blew up online even catching the attention of Barstool founder Dave Portnoy, who jokingly admitted he might actually be starting to like LeBron.
Fans echoed the same sentiment. Many called him surprisingly likable, praising his clean personal record and good-natured humor. Others joked that he might be more relatable than Tom Brady now.
Off the court, LeBron is having a standout season as the Lakers push toward the playoffs with a 50–26 record. He’s averaging 20.7 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists and now adding “internet favorite” to the list.
Who knew a cheating scandal from a YouTube golf event would make LeBron go viral for all the right reasons?
