LeBron James Confronts Fan AT Pistons Game [Video]

LeBron James took a moment during Friday’s game against the Detroit Pistons to fire back at a fan who decided it would be a good idea to heckle King James by insulting his mother.

After hearing the fan sitting near the court behind the Heat’s bench mention his mother’s name, James walked toward the scorer’s table and addressed the male fan.

“I don’t care what you say to me. I don’t give a [expletive] what you say,” James said to the fan. “But don’t be disrespectful.”

The reason LeBron took exception to the comments (outside of the obvious), his two sons were sitting near the Heat’s bench.

The exchange came during a break in action with 1.7 seconds left in the first quarter and was picked up by television microphones.

The fan, who declined to give his name to ESPN.com, said he was offended by James’ cursing. He was also told by security to refrain from heckling the rest of the game or he would be escorted out.

Really, the fan was insulting Bron’s mother making  Delonte West jokes but HE was offended. Fans need to recognize that the players are REAL people with feelings etc. Buying a ticket to a game doesn’t also give someone an automatic pass to insult.
