LeBron vs courtside Pacers fans

[mademan]

Do people really think that if youre paid to do a job that you should be forced to take any kind of verbal abuse? lol.

[azcatz11]

It's most likely something innocent along those lines and he threw a temper tantrum.

I find it hard to believe the people around her wouldn't be clapping when they threw her out if she was saying vile things about Bronny. Indy is known for good fans.

It's very dangerous to trust random Reddit posts like some are doing in this thread....

Yet we're suppose to trust you that it was probably something innocent and LeBron made a big deal about nothing?

Yes, because that was a REDDIT post, whereas this was a REALGM post: SOOOO much more accountable...

There’s a big difference between reporting accurate miss accurate information and speculating, which I’m doing.

I aint no Lebron fan but that bitch's reactions like crying gesture etc while leaving her seat is proof enough she is a disrespectful **** brat.

Yeah just this. I think Lebron is whiny but her reaction tells me all I need to know. Please. Why does it make anyone feel cool to heckle people. If I was playing Lebron and I was any good I might try to get in his head and try to withstand the storm, but on the sidelines. Never. Just weak. Heckling on the way out. Ugghhhh they really thought they were being cool. I am not a fan of people acting in such a way.

I don’t even get heckling. You pay tons of money to sit courtside, that a lot people wished they had the opportunity to do. Why ruin it?

Because, when it's done well, it's extremely fun. There was a well-known Bullets fan back in the day who was renowned for his great heckling from behind the opposing bench, including reading excerpts of the Jordan Rules to the Bulls when they were in town. That's A-plus. (Even they were laughing.) I remember sitting in earshot of a guy who absolutely murdered ML Carr for all four quarters when he was in the process of coaching the Celtics to a 15-win season; it clearly got under his skin and it was glorious. And the converse is true. I was at another game where Kobe got into it with a couple, and by the end of the night they were the ones who were pissed off.

Those are exceptions to the rule. Usually it's "you suck" and other low-IQ stuff. But when somebody is putting some effort and intelligence into it, it can be great.

Yeah that guy was paid to follow Jordan around for a while. He had giant poker cards one night too and made Jordan laugh. There is part of that which is “fun” and it is done in a good spirit. This case is absolutely nothing like that. I get heckling can be part of gamesmanship for sure and we’ll players do it to each other too. Just don’t talk about people’s families. That’s BS.

I didn't say it was. Hence the second paragraph.

Don't have a problem with heckling but everyone knows going after someone's kids is fighting words. You don't even want to be around anyone after bringing up their kids. Anyone downplaying it needs to step into the real world where this kind of thing is never tolerated.

[Plossum]

I think a level of ‘abuse’ and banter is fine and expected in sports. “Lebron you **** suck!” is pretty par for the course and adds to the theatre of sports.

But it should never be personal. That’s a clear line that shouldn’t be crossed. Wishing someone’s kid dies in a car wreck is messed up. Lebron was right to get these people tossed.

True buy you have a pretty good indication that it wasn't on the up and up. The reaction while leaving tells tales for sure. In fact maybe LeBron is losing it right now, and he over reacted, not saying it's not possible, but the evidence we have doesn't look good for those 2. This didn't look like some weird powder play by LeBron. Seems like others heard it too. No one protested to it.

[JimmyPlopper]

I actively root against LeBron, but not in this situation

[IAMZOOTED2]

Seriously. Those were courtside seats. Let that sink in for a sec. COURTSIDE SEATS.

Most of us will never, ever, sniff that section of the arena and here we have what appears to be an entitled little bish making faces cause she got called out and kicked out. I'm not saying revoke whoever gifted those tix, to them, but for real... she wasn't acting grateful or jazzed to be there at all. Gotta be more careful when gifting stuff. Especially to rich little candy-arse mofos who would never say that ish in a dark alley.

[AmIWrongDude]

Bron has heard it all at this point man fans love to hate him. He’s rarely if ever complained. We’re talking signs making fun of him for not having a father. Whatever they said most likely crossed the line. Some of y’all don’t just hate LeBron you like really really hate him which is sad because sports hate is different than that.

I'll say this, LeBron has played 1585 NBA games, let's just say half are on the road, so 792. He's likely heckled in all those game he's also been in "lower" times when heckled than his current team/life situation. How many fans has LeBron had kicked out? Unless it's something like 500, then that means that 99% of the time LeBron is sucking it up, understanding it's part of the game, etc.

So...if LeBron is asking for and adamant about someone being kicked out, it is a pretty good assumption that they said something that is beyond the normal fan heckling, isn't it?

[CobraCommander]

If she said it, bounce her...but not her boyfriend...those some expensive seats....and the game was great...and got better!


I would have said “bye.take the car I’ll get a Uber home”

[Synciere]

People hate Lebron, and players in general, so much they call him soft while people wish his children harm and death. You watch someone clearly say something so messed up they throw them out and y’all are in here gaslighting like it’s really something wrong with Lebron. Weird flex.

[Lala870]

LeBron gets paid a kings ransom by billionaire business tycoons to play a childs game. In this case who TF cares...people can say whatever they want courtside.

Your kidding yourself if you think Lebron and his "familia" give 2 rips about any of the fans. Lebron has made it clear he an egotistical blow hard who places great emphasis on his "brand" and posting mirror selfies on IG.

We can’t accept that, unless you can provide a high quality photo of the two people the were kicked out holding up 2 forms of Government issued ID in one hand and a notarised and original copy of the transcript of their insults in the other. No less!

no, they actually can't, which is why they got escorted out moron. you sound like one of the idiots who'd be yelling stupid nonsense cause in your mind it's ok to act like a coward because the guy makes a lot of money.
