Lewis Hamilton and LeBron James Once Got Intro Trouble With ... (The Sportsrush)

Lewis Hamilton and LeBron James forgot to adhere to guidelines and protocols while meeting members of the British Royal Family.

James did not have an awkward encounter with the Queen of England, but instead, found himself in a tough spot with the Prince of Wales, William, and Princess Catherine. Hamilton got excited and began talking to her, but she pointed to the Brit’s left and asked him to start talking to people on that side. James put his arms around Princess Catherine as a friendly gesture but realized that he wasn’t allowed to do so. The only record that Hamilton is yet to break is that of Michael Schumacher’s seven-world title wins, and he is just one title win away from doing so. Today, Hamilton’s official title is Sir Lewis Hamilton after being awarded the knighthood by the late Queen Elizabeth. The 38-year-old had to score 36 points against Oklahoma City Thunder to surpass Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 points and he did so in just 26 minutes.
