The NBA’s “No-Phones During Games” rule, introduced just before the start of this season, has been met with mixed reactions. Many players and coaches have embraced it, understanding the need for focus and respect during games. Others, however, feel it’s a bit excessive. Still, rules are rules, and as the league’s spokesperson pointed out, “The policy applies to everyone, including LeBron James. Being a superstar doesn’t exempt you from following basic guidelines.”

This is to ensure the integrity of the sport and maintain an atmosphere of professionalism. We hope this sends a clear message to all players: the court is for playing, not posting.”
For someone who’s been in the public eye for two decades, LeBron seemed unusually calm about the whole thing. After being ejected, he took to his favorite platform — you guessed it, social media — to share his thoughts. “I guess they don’t want the GOAT to engage with his fans mid-game,” he tweeted, followed by a laughing emoji. “But don’t worry, I’ll still be here… just off the court. Maybe I’ll catch the rest of the game from my suite.”
