Dads will be dads with their bad jokes and embarrassing antics. Especially LeBron James, who was criticized for the way he celebrated an amazing basketball shot at his son’s game. However, his fans remained faithful and defended him for being an enthusiastic spectator.
The viral video showed the basketball star’s son Bronny successfully shoot an alley oop at a basketball game. LeBron ran out on the court to celebrate with his son with a jump and hip check, and lost his shoe along the way.

“Let that man enjoy fatherhood!” one fan wrote. “People are really mad at a father for being a father???? I CANNOT,” another frustrated fan chimed in.
