Recently, a picture of NBA player LeBron James smiling with rapper Bow Wow went viral. Fans laughed at the picture, saying James, 37, appears old enough to be Bow Wow’s stepfather.

In the picture, the 6’9″ James is pictured towering over a beaming Bow Wow and putting his arm around the short rapper. Fans quickly brought attention to the disparity in their appearances and heights in the picture, despite the fact that both are now in their mid-30s.

 

One fan noted in a tweet, “LeBron got 5 years on Bow Wow but looks 15 years older!” James, a 19-season veteran, appears wiser than his years in comparison to the youthful-looking Bow Wow.

 

Another person wrote, “Bow Wow is 34 looking 24 and LeBron is 35 years old with a receding hairline!” “The time of Father is unbeaten.”

 

James was sarcastically referred to in other comments as Bow Wow’s “uncle” and “step daddy” in the peculiar combination. A lot of tweets linked Bow Wow’s trendy look and onesie pyjamas to James’ receding hairline and greying beard.

The widely shared memes mock James’ reputation as an aged statesman in contrast to Bow Wow’s defiance of ageing. James, though, retweeted his best responses after taking the jabs about the picture in stride.

 

Though jokes were made about James’ older appearance, his mature manner is probably a result of the demands of his extended NBA career. King James enjoys taking on a fatherly role off the court, both for his own children and for mentees such as Bow Wow.

 

LeBron James, who is 37 years old and has won four titles, has earned the right to be seen as a veteran. He’s more than willing to comply if it means being made fun of in humorous pictures as Bow Wow’s stepfather.
