Just a few hours after having the time of his life in the NBA All-Star Game, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James had to deal with a sudden problem.

Apparently, his Instagram account was sending direct messages to random people, asking for personal information. But according to LeBron, he got hacked. On Monday, he posted a public service announcement on his Instagram Story to warn against the “weirdos.”

A few hours later, the Lakers forward posted another PSA on his Instagram Story, this time namedropping a specific dude who allegedly hacked Bronny James' page.

So far, it remains unclear if anyone got duped by the supposed hacker. Hopefully, zero. After all, if LeBron sends you a personal message asking for personal details, that's already a red flag. Why would a Lakers megastar spend time doing that?

While The King got worried (he also reportedly got hacked in 2018), he obviously didn't let the situation affect his joy from a memorable NBA All-Star Game. Aside from sinking the game-winner in Cleveland and improving his record to 5-0 as team captain, he was also honored in the NBA Top 75 Ceremony. LeBron had a grand time catching up with his fellow NBA greats, including Michael Jordan.

LBJ will have a few days off before the Lakers start their second half of the season on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
