LeBron James rode his scooter with great caution as he arrived for the matchup between the Los Angeles and Golden State Warriors after nearly causing a crash at a previous game.
The four-time NBA champion, 38, screamed “corner!” while taking a turn in the corridor of Crypto.com Arena with the hilarious command leaving fans giggling.

James is nursing a right foot tendon injury that’s likely to sideline him for the rest of the regular season.
But as he carries on with his rehab, the forward still shows up at Lakers games to cheer on his teammates.
The NBA star wears an orthopedic boot and also uses a knee scooter to move from one place to another to lessen the pressure on the injured foot while out of the house.
But before Friday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, James was in such a rush he nearly collided with a member of the Lakers staff while riding the scooter at Crypto.com Arena.
However, he seemed way more attentive while operating the device a couple of days later.
As ESPN cameras caught him turning up to the arena before the clash with the Warriors, James shouted “corner, corner!” before taking a turn to, presumably, the locker room.
The onlooking staffers started chuckling when the Lakers superstar uttered the command with a particularly serious face.
And NBA fans joined them in laughing after watching a video of the hilarious moment.
One tweeted: “LeScooter is my fav.”
Another wrote: “Bro said “CORNER” like he’s a server coming around with a tray full of food, love that.”
A third said: “He’s the funniest man alive.”
One added: “Lebron having too much fun on that scooter.”
And another said: “Bron is hilarious.”
James is expected to be re-evaluated at some point toward the end of March, just a few games before the end of the regular season.
And while there’s hope the NBA’s all-time leading scorer could return in the postseason, the Lakers need to make sure they qualify for the playoffs first.
Los Angeles entered the Sunday matchup against Golden State in 11th, 1.0-games behind the Western Conference’s play-in spots.
