NBA champion and former player Dwyane Wade was widely mocked for using the same joke for Team USA star LeBron James multiple times in the same game during an Olympics basketball broadcast.
The former Miami Heat guard was roasted online after he consistently referred to James using the pronouns "he/him" during Team USA's game against Serbia on Sunday.
"Y'all know his pronouns – he/him!" Wade said in the first half.
One of the most circulated clips from the second half showed James finish a layup in front of the raucous crowd, after which Wade said, "America, you know him as LeBron James. I know him personally. His pronouns are he/him."
