LeBron James was not happy with the Cleveland Browns fans for booing quarterback Deshaun Watson after he got hurt in Sunday’s game. 

Watson went to run with the ball after taking the snap, and with his first step he crumpled the ground in pain. As Watson remained down on the field, the Browns’ faithful booed him, much to the dismay of James. 

"Cleveland Fans! Y’all know how much we’ve been thru throughout the years both good, bad, and indifferent. With that being said booing anyone that’s down with an injury let alone your own player is LAME AF!! To the ones who didn’t (salute emoji)," James posted on X.

An MRI on Monday confirmed that Watson ruptured his Achilles on the play and that he will miss the remainder of the season, via multiple reports. 

James wasn’t the only person to express his displeasure with the boos, as Browns’ players Myles Garrett and Jameis Winston also came to the defense of Watson. 

James knows the Cleveland sports fans well, as he spent 11 seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers over two separate stints with the team. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar grew up in Akron, Ohio, and has supported the Browns.
