N/P How in the hell... (1 Viewer)

From what I have read they were saying they hope his kid dies in a car wreck and calling his kid a birch. There is trash talk and then there is whatever this is. No place for them to be sitting court side. They got what they deserved.

If that is true, then totally agree they should be tossed. If they were just hammering him about the suspension, then what I said earlier stands.

LeBron James fined $15K for Sam Cassell 'obscene gesture' in win over Pacers

The NBA also warned LeBron James for using profane language when describing his one-game suspension.

So hang on.....

This dipshirt just got two fans kicked out of a game for "obscene" language and gestures (nevermind that we don't know exactly what they said) and then HE follows it up with an obscene gesture? The fine is pocket change to him, so that's no kind of deterrent.

But as long as he puts butts in the seats, right, NBA? Garbage.

If you don't know what those "fans" were saying to him, then how do you know if the gesture was justified?

And no, I'm not one of these people that suddenly thinks players should just be basketball robots and above it all. That was NEVER the case in the past and it's not the case now. Fans can't show up and say anything they want and expect players to not react.

Some fans definitely deserve some run into the stands Ron Artest treatment.

This gesture was in a different game, I believe. And I don't know what the fans said. I guess I just don't like Lebron very much.

The gesture occurred in a different game. And even if it occurred in the same game, players are held (or should be) to a higher standard.

James doesn't deserve a pass at anything.

I agree with that last, but Lebron seems the kid that wants to have his cake and eat it too, and doesn't want anyone else to have cake, and he wants them to recognize that he has the best cake and he is the best at eating it, and if you even think about eating his cake you should be thrown outta the party and then you should have to buy him some more cake.
