I can't believe a mistake like this was made.
via Aljazeerza:
Britain's state broadcaster has come under fire after mistaking LeBron James for 41-year-old Kobe Bryant, the NBA star whodiedin a helicopter crash on Sunday.
In a video clip aired on a BBC news programme, a voiceover outlined Bryant's life and achievements while the footage showed various scenes of James on a basketball court.
Social media users have criticised the BBC for its error, with some accusing the broadcaster of incompetence as others said the mistake was an example of racism within the media.
The BBC apologised for its "human error which fell below our usual standards on the programme"
My heart and prayers go to out to every family member and loved one involved.
