Sports stars can do very little creeping nowadays without going viral, as Cristiano Ronaldo found out last year. Such a hard life, isn't it?
I won't lie, I actually have sympathy for them all. Back in 2005 when I was Sunday League top goalscorer, I asked a girl on Myspace if she wanted to come over to my nan's on Friday night to watch a DVD (she was away on holiday with my grandad and I was minding the house).
The girl commented simply saying, "no thanks x" and before I knew it the news of my seediness had spread across the school playground like wildfire. I was a laughing stock.

Soon after, my prolific goalscoring dried up and so did the desperate attempts to seduce girls via Myspace wall posts.
Anyway, the latest victim of having his DMs leaked online is LeBron James, who has allegedly tried sliding into the Instagram messages of model Rachel Bush.
A screenshot of the message allegedly sent from the basketball legend's official 'kingjames' Instagram account was posted online.
You're probably thinking that's not too bad. We've all sent worse at 4am after a night out, right?

However, the model has been dating Cleveland Browns safety Jordan Poyer since last year. Oh and LeBron James himself is married.
The model added fuel to the fire by posting a 'with bae' picture of LeBron James yesterday.
Was she simply sat with her boyfriend enjoying the game? Or was she implying LeBron might be bae? Actually, who even gives a shit?

If you're wondering who on earth Rachel Bush is, here are some pictures from her Instagram. For research purposes.
LeBron is yet to respond to the accusations of sliding into the model's DMs.

Obviously, the whole thing could well have just been made up for publicity or RTs. Because people are awful, fame-hungry arseholes nowadays.
