Chris Carlos’ Instagram account has now been switched to private but the Atlanta Hawks supporter's hate for LeBron James did not escape the attention of social media users. In April 2017, Carlos had posted consecutive pictures of himself sitting courtside at Hawks games with James on the court with the captions with him making no secret of his dislike for LeBron James. The 35-year-old was then playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, in the same season when they reached the NBA Finals, losing to the Golden State Warriors eventually.
