Getty Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James at Ohio State Buckeyes game.
NBA star LeBron James may have signed with the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason, but it doesn’t mean he left his love for the Cleveland Browns back in Akron. Or at the very least, he’s still rooting hard for his hometown team. So when Browns kicker Zane Gonzalez had a horrible showing in a Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints, James took to social media to vent his frustration.
As you can probably guess, it was the 52-yarder which the Browns kicker missed to potentially send the game to overtime which led to the post.

Not only did the Browns have a chance to send this game to overtime on a Gonzalez 52-yard field goal, but the kicker’s terrible day went far beyond that. Along with the missed late kick, Gonzalez missed two extra points and a 44-yard field goal.
The Missed Kick

The #Browns = Cursed 🤦♂️
They lose another one after Zane Gonzalez missed his fourth kick of the game from 52 yards. 🤮
For what it’s worth, James wasn’t alone in his frustration over the situation surrounding the Browns and their kicker (who likely won’t hold that title for long). Reactions poured in about Gonzalez, and you can probably guess that most of them featured frustration, anger, and calls for the kicker to be released.
The Browns Just Deserve a Win
The defense doesn’t deserve this. Tyrod doesn’t deserve this. Hue doesn’t deserve this. This game is solely on Zane Gonzalez.
This Seems to Be a Consensus in Cleveland
