Every state or fan base has bad fans. Dont act like this is an Indiana problem smh.

Indiana just happens to have a large share of them. I can’t speak on most other teams. I can just speak on what I’ve experienced. I spent the first 24 years of my life living in Indiana. Pacers fans get extremely nasty.

Id say that more of a You Problem. You personally probably catch a lot of **** because you wear a Lebron jersey in a sea full of Blue and Gold. People probably said the same to you when you rocked your Miami jersey too.

Lol. They don’t yell at me, they yell at the players. I don’t wear LeBron apparel to games that he’s not even playing in. And the things they say certainly wouldn’t pass the censors on this website. I don’t even know why you’re upset here.

I bet today they're excited and showing all their friends they got kicked out and got tv time for it.

That was it? Thin skin players. This would be a lot more annoying to other fans around them.

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?

If I were an NBA player and a fan said my kid should die in a crash I would punch them in the face, take the suspenison and the lawsuit. The fact Lebron only got them thrown out shows a lot of restraint.

Maybe a few people are like that but the vast majority of replies on this thread support Lebron in this case.

Maybe it's bc he's dragged the league for 18yrs now? Star players get star treatment. At the end of the day the fans were wrong.

There are some things that you just can’t say if you choose to heckle a player. Since we’re not exactly sure what was said I can’t comment on if Lebron overreacted in getting those fans tossed.

No one knows what the fans have said yet. Until there is corroborated evidence we shouldn't believe a Reddit post.

Lebron has a history of being very thin skinned so nothing would surprise me

So did they identify the fans already?

Even if that's not what they are saying, I know Lebron has endured beyond his fair share of heckling, so if it rose to the level where he felt like doing what he did I have 100% faith that they deserved to be kicked out.

Clearly not basketball fans because I have no idea how you have courtside tickets for such a good game and get bounced for running your mouth. Idiots.

As far as I can remember, LeBron has never done this before. He’s absolutely been heckled to hell, too.

These people deserved it— theres no doubt in my mind.

Those 2 likely didn't care about getting kicked out, probably gonna be laughing about it for a while.

I wouldn't assume that stories from some rando on reddit or twitter are actually true when making judgements on this. If it was something serious like threats or racial epithets we'd probably know about it by now via a more reliable source. And I think "I hope you die" type comments can be considered a form assault, though I'll let the realgm legal experts weigh in on that.

Based on Lebron's post-game comments it sounds like it was obscene words and gestures, which seems like a pretty weak reason to ask for fans to get ejected:

After the game, James declined to go into specifics about what the fans said that prompted him to ask for their removal, instead saying that obscene gestures and language should not be tolerated

This part is pretty funny when you contrast it with the post-game quote:

It's unclear what the fans said or did that led to James's reaction, though James can be heard in the broadcast pointing at the fans and telling a referee, "Right f---ing here."

Always funny when people call Bron soft but if they got told half the crap he probably hears they would lose their ****.

Yes people, talking about family members is uncalled for.

I came in here to call LeBron soft but after I read what these two morons were saying he is 100% right getting them ejected.
