For the second time this month, LeBron James’ flirtatious vibe while speaking to women sitting courtside at a Lakers game is going viral.
Earlier in March, we brought you the story of Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and her friend Linda Rambis getting a bit handsy with LeBron while sitting courtside for the Lakers win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, March 8.
The clip immediately went viral on social media, with many people joking that LeBron’s wife Savannah likely made him sleep on the couch that night.
Eight days later, during the Los Angeles Lakers’ 128-121 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday, March 16, LeBron was spotted spitting a similar sideline game, albeit this time to Grammy-winning singer Tyla, who is 17 years LeBron’s junior.
For further context, LeBron played in his first NBA game when Tyla — full name Tyla Laura Seethal — was just about 18 months old.

Tyla’s debut self-titled studio album will be released on Friday, March 22, and features the singles “Water”, “On and On”, “Truth or Dare”, and “Butterflies”. The single “Water”, in particular, has helped Tyla rise to prominence.
You can follow Tyla on Instagram, where she has over 4.3 million followers.
With the NBA playoffs set to begin in about a month, LeBron — who is averaging a staggering 25.5 points, 8.1 assists, and 7.2 rebounds per game during his age 39 season — has the Lakers sitting in the Western Conference’s 10th seed with a record of 36-32, which is the final seed in the NBA’s Play-In tournament.
Despite the fact that he’s turning 40 years old this year, LeBron is expected to sign a new deal with the Lakers that will be in the neighborhood of two years and $100 million.
The future Hall of Famer has long been vocal about his desire to share an NBA floor with his son Bronny James, who is currently in his freshman season at USC.
Given Bronny’s performance at USC thus far, however, it’s likely he won’t declare for the NBA Draft this year, meaning LeBron will have to wait until the 2025 season to potentially play with his son.
