LeBron James' reign as most popular over? Tweeted photo of LeBron mistaken for Derrick Rose [VIDEO]

LeBron James isn't having a very good year.

First, he had a shot 

his two-time defending NBA champion Miami Heat relinquished home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference to the Indiana Pacers.

And he seems resigned to relinquish the NBA Most Valuable Player Award to Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant.

Now this.

According to terezowens.com, a person with a Twitter account handle @mouqeet posted a photo of King James with his sister and her friends with the caption: "MY SISTER AND HER FRIENDS JUST MET DERRICK ROSE DAMN SHE'S SO LUCKY SMH!!!"

Of course, @mouqeet's mistake was not going to go without a reply or two:

Rose has missed the last two seasons with season-ending injuries to each knee. As for James, perhaps the mistaken identity will motivate him to lead the Heat to a third consecutive NBA championship, which would tie him with Michael Jordan (1991-93, 1996-98) and Kobe Bryant (2000-02) for consecutive championships with three.

Who knows what people James might be mistaken for should he fail to secure a third consecutive championship?

Do you think LeBron James' legacy stays intact if the Miami Heat are sent packing before winning another championship? Comment below or tell us @SportsWN.
