LeBron James accused of faking a phone call to avoid fans at a hotel

A resurfaced video of LeBron James has sparked discussion online after a family encountered the NBA star at a hotel near the elevators. The children were stunned to see the then-Lakers star and appeared eager to have a moment with him. However, LeBron never stopped talking on the phone and even continued the call as he stepped into the elevator, saying goodbye to the family before the doors closed.

Some viewers claimed James may have pretended to be on a call to avoid stopping for photos. Others questioned why he would take the call into the elevator, where his signal would eventually be lost.
