An all-star, an NBA champion and an Olympic gold medalist,” the reporter said.  “He was unashamedly competitive. And he was deeply frustrated when his playing career was cut short by injuries.”  Twitter users were quick call out the mishap.  “Awkward. BBC News at Ten show Lebron James video footage instead of Kobe Bryant…” one user wrote.  Another one said: “Hi @BBCLondonNews you’re showing videos and footage of LeBron James on BBC News at Ten whilst reporting on the death of Kobe Bryant. Shocking.”  BBC apologized for the mistake.  “In tonight’s coverage of the death of Kobe Bryant on BBC News at Ten we mistakenly used pictures of LeBron James in one section of the report,” a statement read.  “We apologise for this human error which fell below our usual standards on the programme.”
