About

LeBron James Scream, also known as LeBron James Satanic Ritual and LeBron James, Scream If You Love X, refers to a meme trend predominantly popularized on TikTok that shows LeBron James "screaming" before the video cuts to a variation of the athlete's pre-game ritual. Videos of LeBron doing certain hand signs were edited to look more "satanic" in April 2023, while the video of Lebron James screaming was first posted in October 2023. The meme trend featuring both these clips edited to fit various themes took off in April 2024.

Origin

On June 7th, 2015, the official NBA YouTube[1] channel posted a video titled, "LeBron James Pays Tribute to Kyrie Irving Pregame," showing the athlete performing a series of cryptic hand gestures (seen below).



The video has since been misconstrued as evidence of LeBron James's "satanic" interests, as seen in an April 1st, 2022 TikTok posted by @expose.the.industry.[2] On April 10th, 2023, TikToker[3] @money_burnz posted the earliest known edit of the phrases "Freemasonry Hand Sign," "6-6-6 (Sign of the Devil)," "Baphomet Chest Release," "Exsuffulation (Dark Magic)," and "Spreading the Energy Around" (shown below).

@cclips3000 Boy oh boy where do l even begin. Lebron… honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive into the paint and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth touch around the rim, and that gorgeous jumpshot. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so l would never have to watch you retire. You had a rough childhood, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the court, you're a great husband and father, sometimes | even call you dad. I forvever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left clevenland and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win your first ring in miami, because deep down, my alorious kina deserved it liust wanted you #fyp #lebron #funny #nba #youaremysunshine ♬ original sound – cclips3000
