LeBron James’ house in Miami did not get burned down by “angry Miami Heat fans,” which is merely a hoax.
The fake article was posted on Cream Bmp Daily, a fake news website,
“Lebron James $9 million dollar home was set on fire early this afternoon by heat fans that were upset by his decision to take his talents back to Cleveland,” the fake report says. It adds: “Although teammates Bosh and Allen showed up to the scene for Lebron James; Dwyane Wade was not able to be reached and the damages will cost upwards of $1 million to replace including; trophies, rings and an extensive collection of NBA headbands.”
According to the disclaimer on Cream Bmp Daily, it’s not real.
