LeBron James probably has the most amount of haters any athlete has ever seen, especially in the social media era.
That was evident on Monday when the Lakers took on the Cleveland Cavaliers at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
One fan was kicked out of the game by security for holding up T-shirts with messages that were meant to disrespect LeBron.
“Security tossed a Cuyahoga Falls man out of Monday’s Cavaliers-Lakers game for holding up T-shirts with offensive slogans that targeted former Cavalier LeBron James, according to police reports,” wrote Adam Ferrise of Cleveland.com.
“The 49-year-old man was not arrested and no charges have been filed in the incident.”
The report continues:
“The man held up t-shirts that read: ‘LeBron is a racist,’ ‘LeBron is a narcissist,’ ‘Gloria Goes West. Starring LBJ as king narcissist’— an apparent reference to his mother Gloria James— and another one that contained a sexual innuendo,” wrote Ferrise.
“A Cleveland police officer and arena security guards confronted the man in Section 126, behind one of the baskets on the lower level of the arena, and asked to see the shirts to determine if they violated the fan’s code of conduct.
“The man ‘became extremely aggressive,’ shouted at the officers and security guards and refused to show the shirt, according to police report.
“The security guards told him he was kicked out. He continued shouting profanities, then lunged at the head security guard, grabbed her hands and hit her in the side, according to police.
“The officers escorted him out of the arena. The man refused to leave and five times tried to run back into the stadium by trying to burrow his way through the guards and officers, according to police.”
On that same night, a member of the Cavs staff could be seen heckling him after a missed shot towards the end of the third quarter, which caused LeBron to stare him down.
