Lkr Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- LeBron James took a moment during Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons to fire back at a heckling fan who insulted his mother. After hearing a 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 exchange came during a break in action with 1.7 seconds left in the first quarter and was picked up by television microphones. James responded to the fan, who shouted the comments within earshot of James' two young sons who sat courtside near the Heat's bench. 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.http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/news/story?id=6114546 I actually side with LeBron. The fan saying he was offended is a retard. I also don't think security should be getting involved with a heckler btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland's Finest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 LeBron is the last person to know what respect means. He doesn't even know what contraction means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 “Is your Mom going to Boston for Valentine’s Day?” fan yells at LeBron. “I don’t care what you say, don’t be disrespectful," James said http://twitter.com/drpemberton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I don't think LeBron was offended by the comment, but that he wanted to protect his 2 children from hearing comments about their grandmother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously. If someone was talking about my mom like that in front of my 2 young sons I would do the same, if not more. He handled it the right way IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple&Gold Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 When will there be a time where fans around the NBA get over about the whole West and LeBron's mother story? It isn't even funny or as important anymore. I'm with LeBron's side also. Allowing the fan to criticize him and just trying to be respectful by telling him in a positive way to just say that is disrespectful. LeBron would of probably shut his mouth up since they cruised and killed the Pistons last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcstarheel Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Don't talk about someone's mom in their presence, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bomba Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I don't blame LeBron for how he handled the situation, but I don't understand why this is even a story. I kindly doubt LeBron is the first athlete to have his mom insulted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 If he cared so much about protecting his 2 young sons why did he drop the f bomb and other profanities right in front of them? Because he was obviously pissed. Would you want people talking like that about your mom, their grandmother in front of your kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted February 13, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 He should've jumped into the crowd and beat the fan up. Not that it's happened before, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
