LeBron James faced backlash online over the weekend after he acted rudely toward a young fan in Paris following Team USA’s gold medal victory at the Olympics.

Video that was posted online showed James scolding the young fan for wanting to take a selfie photo with the NBA star.

“Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!” James snapped at the boy. “Don’t do that.”

The kid appeared stunned by James’ rudeness and arrogance.

Moments later, James broke out into a dance as he arrived at the restaurant that he was going to to celebrate the team’s win.
