LeBron James was looking to celebrate another gold medal while walking into a nightclub, but a young fan briefly ruined his vibe.
James was seen surrounded by paparazzi while getting out of his car, and a child eager to snag a picture with the living legend was immediately rebuffed.
“Stop, stop, stop,” James sternly said to the young fan while he put up his hand.
The fan appeared shocked by the response and immediately touched his chest as if apologizing for the overeager pursuit of a picture.
James continued walking while one of the people he was with, seemingly security, nudged the boy to the side.

As James arrived at the entranceway of the club while wearing his gold medal, the Lakers star began dancing to much fanfare.
James appeared to have a bottle of champagne or wine in his hand as he entered.
Aside from getting posterized by France’s Guerschon Yabusele in the gold medal game, the 39-year-old James had a solid showing in Paris at the Olympics.

James, who now has won three gold medals, was majestic as a flag bearer for Team USA during the opening ceremony, and a part of one of the most iconic images of the Paris Games.
He, along with fellow basketball star Bam Adebayo, led Team USA into the Olympics aboard a jam-packed boat as rain poured down.
