NBA fans fear the worst after witnessing LeBron James’ illicit behavior on camera.

The cameras are always on LeBron James, and over the weekend, his lack of discretion got him in big trouble. A video from his son’s basketball game showed James engaging in illegal activity on his iPadin a move that could ruin not only his reputation, but the lives of millions of NBAfans.

Even while supporting his son, Bryce James, at a Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) event, the Los Angeles Lakersstar couldn’t peel himself away from his tablet.

LeBron and his entourage took turns gazing at the iPad. Initially, a video was posted where it was unclear what was on the screen, and fans cracked jokes that they were playing video games like little kids.

Once a video emerged that showed what was really on the screen, the evidence was damningand all of a sudden it was not a joking matter. James’ friend had pulled up the popular sports streaming website StreamEast, while the all-time leading scorer looked over to get a peek at what was going on in the Timberwolves vs Mavericks NBA Playoffs series.

Broadcasting NBA games without the expressed written consent of the league is illegal. However, websites that redistribute streams have become increasingly popular among fans of The Associationwho are willing to take the risk so they don’t have to fork out hundreds of dollars per monthfor cable television, sports streaming subscriptions and NBA League Pass.

The illegal practice is treated much like driving over the speed limit. It is a widely accepted behavior, but if authorities take a strict view, a lot of people could get in trouble for it. However, most of the legal risk is assumed by the websites that produce the streams, not individual users like James or the countless thousands of NBA fans who partake.

Even as a billionaire and face of the league who puts the laws in place, King James‘ insistence on a free stream illustrates just how big of a problem the cost of watching sports isfor common fans. However, the public reaction to his actions was not to embrace how much LeBron has in common with them.

“if they block this cause of bro ima be hot,” said an Instagram comment with almost 20,000 likes, fearing for the anonymity of the streaming site after LeBron was spotted usin
