LeBron James inadvertently drew attention to a well-known site for illegally streaming NBA games.
This incident occurred on Friday night while James was at the Nike EYBL tournament, watching his AAU team, Team Strive For Greatness.
As he and his friends sat courtside, they were filmed attempting to watch the Mavs-Wolves NBA playoff game. It appeared that they chose to stream the game using StreamEast, an illegal streaming site, rather than through an official NBA channel.

This action sparked concern among fans online, who feared that the increased visibility could lead to the site being shut down.
Despite StreamEast’s popularity and its resilience against shutdown attempts by authorities, fans are worried.
However, it’s likely that the site’s robustness means they have little cause for concern.
Nonetheless, the NBA may not view LeBron’s choice to use an unauthorized streaming service favorably.
