LeBron James hardly ever takes Lās when he's on the court. Heās made six straight NBA Finals, has three rings to his name, and has not been on a losing team since his rookie year. Sporting events that LeBron participates in almost always go his way.
But when the roles are reversed, and LeBron is a fan, the squads or individuals he's cheering for don't always emerge victorious. In fact, they lose a lot. And lately, a lot of the things he has been rooting for have crashed and burned at inopportune times. Just look at LeBronās beloved Cowboys, who can never seem to catch a break in the playoffs.
For some reason, the LeBron James Curse has not drawn the attention of the Drake Curse. But after going through this list, youāll realize how much of a bad luck charm LeBron James can be with one disclaimer: it's not a perfect curse and we're just having some fun at The King's expense. Ā
That time LeBron wore a Yankees hat to an Indians games.

Game: Maple Leafs vs. Bruins
Date: Feb. 2, 2013
Who LeBron was rooting for: Not clear, but the Maple Leafs were the home team.
LeBron attended his first-ever hockey game while on a road trip to Toronto in 2013. The Maple Leafs fans probably wonāt be clamoring to have him back, however, as the team was shut out in the one game LeBron went to.Ā
When he was in the building to watch the Fish get fried.

Game: Marlins vs. Dodgers
Date: Aug. 21, 2013
Who LeBron was rooting for: Marlins
LeBronās talents were in South Beach at a time where the Marlins had little talent at all. Miami was in the midst of a 100-loss season, and King James was on hand for one of those losses. Itās a good thing heās not still in Miami to go to Marlins games, otherwise that team would still be losing 100 games routinely. As opposed to them only losing 90 games routinely without him in Miami.Ā
Game: D-League Eastern Conference Finals, Game 1
Date: April 13, 2016
Who LeBron was rooting for: Canton Charge
The 2016 NBA playoffs were the apex of LeBronās career. The 2016 D-League playoffs were not. LeBron went to a Canton Charge game, the Cavsā D-League affiliate, only to see them lose. The Charge were swept in the best-of-three Eastern Conference Finals, as they were not able to capture the momentum that their parent team was able to have that year.Ā
We all saw him during Game 7 of the World Seires.
And it extends to politics.

Game: 2016 Presidential Election
Date: Nov. 6, 2016
Who LeBron was rooting for: Hillary Clinton
The LeBronĀ Curse isnāt just limited to sports. The King made an entrance into politics this election cycle as he made an Ohio campaign stop with Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton just days before the electionāwhich she was widely expected to win. But I guess we should have known that she wasnāt going to be President the second LeBron introduced the former Secretary of State as āPresident Hillary Clinton.ā
So if, like millions of Americans, you're not thrilled with President Trump so far, feel free to blameĀ LeBron.
Ā
Yeah, Ohio State won. But the next game...
