LeBron James embarrassed his daughter at the Olympics with his dad dance moves

LeBron James is many things. He is one of the best NBA players ever to wear a uniform, an Olympian eyeing his third gold medal this month at the 2024 Paris Summer Games, and a global icon.

He is also a dad.

And while LeBron’s list of accomplishments on the court is simply too long to run through here, any dad will tell you that no matter how impressive they are professionally, there is nothing they are better at than embarrassing their children.

Take this exhibit from the Paris Summer Games.

LeBron was in attendance for a beach volleyball match featuring the American duo of Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss, alongside his wife Savannah and his daughter Zhuri. The duo of Nuss and Kloth won their match to complete pool play undefeated, overcoming a 75-minute weather delay and a loss in the first set to China’s Xinyi Xia and Chen Xue. But when they won the crowd — LeBron included — celebrated along with the dynamic duo.

Much to Zhuri’s dismay:

LeDad.
