LeBron James Slammed As ‘LeSnitch’ And ‘LeKaren’ For Getting Fans Ejected

Following an incident that occurred during a game last night in which James physically grabbed a referee and caused two fans to be removed from the game, the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James received a barrage of negative feedback on social media.

During a post-game press conference, James was asked what the fans did that made him “uncomfortable.” He responded, “I mean nothing is uncomfortable for me, but there’s a difference between cheering on your home faithful, booing opponents and things of that nature or not wanting your opponents to be successful, and there’s the moments where it goes outside the line with obscene gestures and words that shouldn’t be tolerated in our game from nobody.”

According to James, “I would never say it to a fan and a fan should never say it to a player.”

James has made no statements detailing what the two fans said or did, and there have only been unfounded reports circulating online about what occurred.

James, who complained about the fans’ “obscene” words, can be seen grabbing a referee, walking up to the two fans, and pointing at them, yelling, “It’s right f*****g here!”

This situation stirred up negative reactions across the internet, with many individuals calling James “LeSnitch” or “LeKaren”.

Some NBA fans said this situation showed why Michael Jordan was better than James. Sports commentator Josh Yohe said, “Saw LeBron had fans removed from a game last night. I’m sure the fans were being assholes. But that’s a difference between Jordan and LeBron. Jordan would have wanted them to stay in the front row, would have drained 10 straight shots, and stared them down after each one.”

Fox News reporter Joseph Wulfshon said, “And this is why Michael Jordan will always be superior.”

Earlier in the week, James was suspended for one game after hitting a player in the face.

During his team’s 121-116 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night, James was ejected following a play that ended in another player’s eye being slashed open by another player.

ESPN reported that James was ejected after “striking Detroit big man Isaiah Stewart in the face while jostling for rebounding position. The hit led to a stoppage in action while Stewart, with blood streaming down his face, had to be held back multiple times by Detroit personnel as he tried to confront James.”

“The incident occurred with 9:18 remaining in the third quarter and the Lakers trailing 79-67,” the report added. “Stewart was initially whistled for a loose ball foul on the play. Following an official review, James was assessed a flagrant foul 2 and ejected, Stewart was assessed two technical fouls and ejected.”

Pistons coach Dwane Casey said, “It was a tough play with Isaiah. His eye got cracked all the way open, and he was upset for a reason.”
