LeBron James roasted in the Oscars opening speech.

Not even LeBron James is safe from criticism at the 2022 Academy Awards. During the opening speech by hosts Regina Hall, Wanda Sykes, and Amy Schumer the ladies brought up Oscars snubs and that’s where James came in.

They joked that Space Jam 2 should have been nominated for Best Special Effects due to the hairline they gave James.
