LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers instructed his teammates that whenever they fall to the ground, they should wait for their brothers to help him out. But when JaVale McGee fell to the ground after a collision, James didn't exactly heed his own instructions. And NBA trolls immediately noticed.

Check out the video below featuring McGee on the ground and James just walking around:

A thread on Reddit shows trolls pouncing on James and his antics. Redditor bewarethegap said:

“LABron has been surprisingly memeable at the beginning of the season. Stock is on the rise!”

James has always been the favorite target of trolls. After all, he's the most popular basketball player in the NBA right now. Whatever he does, no matter how trivial, critics will find a reason to hate or comment about it.

Especially in this young NBA season, where his team is still struggling to find the perfect formula to win. And up until they rack up those victories as the season progresses, trolls will keep stretching out jabs at James. And frankly, James is used to it.
