LeBron James’ whimsical deed turns into costly humiliation for a fan. Tonight, the LA Lakers preseason match-up against the Phoenix Suns is undoubtedly a historic moment. A father-son duo took to the court for the first time in the league’s history. While everyone witnessed the wholesome moment with tear-filled joy, a particular fan had the worst basketball-viewing experience.
Sitting behind the basket, a fan refused to give the game ball back. ‘Cause why not? But, it didn’t sit well with the officials as they stopped the play for a while to carry the fan out of the arena. Reportedly, the fan faced this embarrassment owing to James’ playful gesture. The six security personnel dragged the fan off the arena after the superstar playfully gestured to toss the fan
What’s your reaction?
Ejection isn’t anything new in the NBA. We’ve witnessed players and even coaches on some occasions get thrown out of the play for various reasons. But, it’s not very often we see a fan getting ejected, and that too, with six security personnel dragging them out to the tunnel. Notably, a visual of the man getting handcuffed also surfaced on the internet. LeBron James definitely had fun during the whole act, cracking up Anthony Davis, with his usual antics.
The superstar had a wholesome evening indeed. After the Paris Olympics glory, he returned to the Purple & Gold fit for the first time. And, he also created history by taking on the court with his son for the first time, especially on Bronny James’ birthday. Above all, he had a free-flowing game, dropping 19 points, and 5 rebounds with a 9-12 FG. Notably, all of this happened in the first half of the game. So when the superstar sat laid back on the courtside for the second half, he had a hilarious moment to encounter. Importantly, it wasn’t LeBron James, who had fun.
Kevin Durant and Devin Booker join LeBron James’ party
The Phoenix Suns’ superstars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker had an underwhelming night while LeBron James stole all their flare. KD, who had a dominant outing in the Paris Olympics, couldn’t translate to the preseason opener. The Slim Reaper dropped 6 points and 5 rebounds with a 3-10 FG. Meanwhile, D-Book had a similar outing, dropping 12 points with 4-12 FG. The Valley duo couldn’t get their rhythm back.
And, just like Bron, they also took to the bench for the second half, witnessing the Suns’ depth belt, the inexperienced Lakers’ depth. The game, which proceeded as a dominant outing for the LA side, ended up in the Suns’ hands after a close 118-114 win. Apart from the victory, the duo had quite a bit of fun with the fan ejection, as their reactions also surfaced online. Booker, who watched it without any reaction, dropped a huge blush at the end.
KD had one of the most hilarious reactions of the lot. Looking at the whole scenario, the superstar screamed, “Get the f**k out,” with a grin on his face. Jokes apart, the Suns duo has a lot to work on before they return to the court for the next outing against the Detroit Pistons.
