LeBron James has 2 Pacers fans kicked out of the game, labeled as hypocrites
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James had two fans kicked out of their side seats during the Lakers’ game against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday in Indianapolis.
After the game, James explained his reasons for knocking fans out and asked what they did to make him “annoyed”.
“I mean, it’s nothing offensive to me, but you know, it’s the difference between cheering on your hometown followers, you know, booing your opponents and the stuff that belongs. that nature and doesn’t want the opponent to succeed,” he said, “and then, you know, those moments where it goes out of its way with gestures and obscene words.
“That should not be tolerated in our game from no one. I would never say that to a fan and a fan should never say that to a player.”
James was seen during the match leading an official to the sideline and pointing out fans he wanted kicked off the field.

Some observers felt James was hypocritical in his interpretation.
While he cited obscene language as the reason for the fans being kicked off the field, they noted that the Lakers star himself appeared to have used vulgarity when speaking to the official.

It’s also not the first time James has gotten fans kicked out of a game.
In February, he had four fans warm up from the State Farm Arena, where the Lakers were playing the road game against the Atlanta Hawks. That comes after a obscene exchange between James and a woman he later mocked on Twitter as “Courtside Karen. ”

100% LeBron Karen can’t go high, he’s fragile. This is why he will never be as good or as RESPECTED as MJ. And he’s definitely not the king. A Joker, yes @KingJames
