Like Kyrie Irving Against 76ers, LeBron James Tries To Fight A Heckler Following Lakers Loss To Clippers

LeBron James has been doing it all for the Los Angeles Lakers ever since Anthony Davis went down with injury. With AD on his way back from a stress fracture in his right foot, ‘The King’ can finally rest knowing that he has the 1B to his 1A back out on the floor. 

In the last 17 games that LeBron has played without Davis, he’s been averaging 34.6 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 7.6 assists. In last night’s bout against the Los Angeles Clippers, James had one of the best games of this season, going off for nine 3s and dropping 46 points in an 18-point loss. 

The Clips have now won their last 10 games against the purple and gold. The game was a ‘home game’ for the Lakers and a couple seconds prior to its ending, James would leave the bench and walk towards the locker room. As he was making his way, he would get confronted by a heckler in the stands.

LeBron James looked to confront a heckler 

LeBron James isn’t all too confrontational of a man in comparison to a lot of other players in the league. However, if push comes to shove, he’ll look to stand his ground. This is what happened in last night’s game between the Lakers and the Clippers when, towards the end of the game, he would get disrespected by a heckler. 

“Bron! Ay Bron, you better get this sh*t together with that receding a** hairline!” said a ‘fan’ watching the 2020 NBA champions get beat down by 18 points. This prompted LeBron to quickly stop in his tracks and try to make his way to the man. 

Security would eventually step in and hold him back from engaging with the man, leading to no confrontation taking place. There has been no word on whether or not what the man said would be a punishable offense. As it has been a day since the incident, it seems as though something as small as this doesn’t constitute any corrective actions.

Kyrie Irving gets into it with a fan tonight 

The former Cleveland Cavalier superstar duo of the 2010s couldn’t seem to catch a break as after LeBron James got heckled last night, Kyrie Irving got the same treatment at Wells Fargo tonight. 

The Brooklyn Nets faced off against the Philadelphia 76ers tonight as a part of the NBA’s Rivals Week. In the midst of the game, a fan in the stands would point out to Irving that he cries too much, resulting in the two having a back-and-forth before Kyrie would go on to inbound the ball.
