Four-time NBA champion LeBron James is one of the people who has come out on social media in support of the actor over what he had to do to protect his wife.
I just saw the Tom Hanks clip of his wife almost being trampled over by paparazzi. What ever happened to personal space? Now if Tom would have stole one of them, he would be the one in the wrong and probably getting sued!
The NBA star took to Twitter to voice out his frustrations at the incident, however, it was met with mixed reactions as people thought that LeBron was becoming "too soft".
