Video of LeBron James Channeling His Inner Diva as He Puts the Perforamce of His Life on Dance Floor Will Never Not be Funny

LeBron James has amassed enough fans with his skills inside the court. But when fans saw him shake his leg like a diva, they almost felt that he was in the wrong profession. James' hilarious dance performance, as seen in an old video available on different social platforms, is sure to make you like him even more.

The performance comes from an episode of Saturday Night Live, where James appeared as a host very early in his basketball career. It was part of a spoof skit based on the famous television show, Solid Gold, which featured a crew of dancers performing on the popular music of any given week.

LeBron James' Moves In This Hilarious SNL Video Will Make You His Fan For His Dancing Skills

Being one of the best players in the NBA, we can see LeBron James as very serious and focused on the court. But when he lets his lighthearted and fun side out, fans will get to see a surprisingly hilarious dance performance from him, like the one he did in SNL. The Lakers star got to host an episode of SNL during his early days in basketball.

Adorned in an attention-grabbing gold outfit, James appeared in a fun skit that mocked Solid Gold (via YouTube). He introduced himself as Alexander, one of the dancers in the crew. He shared in his funny introduction before the performance, "Hi. I'm Alexander. I'm 6 ft 8 and weigh 240 pounds. I like roasted whole turkeys."

He then went on to perform a dance routine with a group, exuding his signature charisma on the stage. Fans already know of James' acting chops as he appeared as a guest star in several films, while also leading Space Jam: A New Legacy. Fans had some pretty interesting things to say about this dance routine from the basketball legend. Some of their comments read:

How have I been alive this long and never seen this

Needless to say, there were hate comments against James as well, with many calling his dance the "humiliation routine". Most of the hate came from basketball fans, who don't agree with James being considered one of the greatest players in the game. According to The Sports Rush, when a version of this video appeared on Instagram, fans were quick to spread hate and bring the rivalry between James and Michael Jordan into play in the comments.

It Was Not The First Time LeBron James' Dance Video Went Viral

In what appears to be the NBA's first viral YouTube video, LeBron James engaged in a friendly dance-off with none other than Shaquille O'Neal. When Shaq showed off some of his pretty cool moves, including a Helicopter on the floor, James was not afraid to show off his dance skills. Dwight Howard also joined the dance-off later in the video.

In a recent appearance on The Big Podcast with Udonis Haslem, Shaq opened up about breaking it down on the dance floor with James. He also shared that he would take on infamous Olympic breakdancer Ray Gun any place, any time.

LeBron James recently embarrassed his daughter Zhuri when he did a little dance with the American volleyball duo of Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss (via Bleacher Report). He was in attendance during their women's beach volleyball match at the Summer Olympics, where they earned a victory. James' dance caused his daughter to cover her face with her hands, which was pretty funny to watch.
