The Los Angeles Lakers played the Golden State Warriors on Friday evening. It is not unusual for star players to see limited minutes in preseason games. So when you bet on the games there is a lot of uncertainty about the end result, not knowing if the biggest names of the game will be playing or not. You can always look for TPP advice on NBA betting sites. But that said, I'm still not sure it's completely normal for star players to leave the bench at halftime, put on a tracksuit and return to the bench with dinner in hand. But that's exactly what Lebron James did Friday night.

Some Lakers broadcasters and legends have called out Lebron for this behavior, saying it is unprofessional and disrespectful to his teammates. Michael Cooper for one….
“I didn't like it,” Cooper said on The Showtime Podcast. “I didn't like that. Again, he's LeBron James, but you still have to respect the game guy, man. He's sitting there. I don't mind the guy eating, but go eat in the locker room, and then when you come out and be part of the team, don't just sit at the end of the bench and eat.
But then the internet did the internet thing and all the conspiracy theories went our way. A fan on Twitter pointed out that Lebron ate the entire meal with his left hand. But he's right-handed. Then the internet had everything from a “stunt double” theory to the theory that his left-handed eating is the reason he is so ambidextrous at finishing on the edge with both hands….
He is left-handed and that is why he eats with his left and finishes so well with his left. He said as a kid that all his favorite players were right-handed, so he made himself right-handed too. The same goes for Kyrie, he is really left-handed, but he was punished for it as a child

The internet is always looking for ways to take Lebron one step further. Or just assume that the great Luka D will even get his number one day…
