PORTLAND, OREGON – JANUARY 22: LeBron James #6 of the Los Angeles Lakers reacts during the first half against the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center on January 22, 2023 in Portland, Oregon.
LeBron James wanted to go full Shannon Sharpe on a fan after he heckled him with a receding hairline joke during the Lakers’ loss to the Clippers on Tuesday night.
LBJ did not have a happy outing and was shown looking very unhappy on the bench, so it probably wasn’t the best night to troll the four-time MVP. The Lakers ended up losing 133-115, much to King James’ chagrin. And the heckler in question may have found out how physical Bron could get had security not intervened.
Less than a week removed from the incident involving Sharpe and the Grizzlies, LeBron nearly got into an altercation of his own while on his way to the locker room.
“Hey LeBron, you better get this sh*t together,” the heckler was heard saying in his own recording. “With that receding a** hairline.”
James stopped and seemed to want to get into it with the fan.
“Look, he’s mad. Look at him!” the individual continued before Lebron was led away.
While some folks found this funny, most sided with LeBron.
With the Lakers en route to another failed season, as things stand, and LeBron knowing another year will go by without a title, it’s not a great time to heckle him.
