LeBron James has two young fans kicked out in first game back from suspension

LeBron James: We are scared as black people in America

LeBron James has been branded a ‘snitch’ for getting a pair of fans kicked out of courtside seats after the duo were allegedly abusing the superstar on Wednesday night.

James dominated in his return from a one-game suspension for his role in the brawl against the Detroit Pistons, and the King recorded a season-high of 39 points to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 124-116 win over the Indiana Pacers.

However, James was in the headlines after the game as he ordered two fans to be ejected from their seats and sent out the stadium after they hurled abuse at the star regarding his son.

The 36-year-old, returning from the first suspension of his career for the clash with Isaiah Stewart, dominated to lead the Lakers to the win but the incident occurred in the final stages of the match at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

With 2:29 remaining in overtime and the Lakers up by three, James called over referee Rodney Mott and furiously pointed out the two fans at fault in the front row.

Officials went over to the pair and, after a brief discussion, they were ejected and escorted from their seats.

The male member of the duo held up his hands in an attempt to protest his innocence but stood up with the woman as they were ejected.

As they were being escorted to the exit, the woman pouted and rubbed her eyes in a mock crying gesture aimed at James.

The four-time NBA champion refused to divulge what was said, but he insisted the fans’ actions were inappropriate and inexcusable.

“When obscene gestures and language come into it, (it) can’t be tolerated,” James said after the game.

“There’s a difference from cheering for your team and not wanting the other team to win and things I would never say to a fan and they shouldn’t say to me.”

The incident, which went viral immediately, left some fans frustrated with James’ actions, labelling him ‘LeSnitch’ as the term began trending on Twitter.

However, other fans reminded people that the full details of the confrontation were not disclosed and that the fans probably crossed the line with their language.

A YouTuber reportedly sitting courtside near to the couple said they made horrific comments about LeBron’s eldest son, Bronny.

“The girl said ‘I hope Bronny dies in a car wreck’ [and] the guy kept chirping… like a chicken sound. ‘Bronny’s a bih bih bih’… it was very weird and they were asked by staff to cool it once or twice but hey.”

Bronny, whose full name is LeBron James Jr., is the eldest of the Los Angeles Lakers star’s three children. Bronny has been drawing the interest of top college basketball programs across the country, suggesting the young high school guard is poised to follow in his father’s footsteps.

The CEO of media monitoring firm National Aircheck Media Monitoring, Robb Wexler, took to Twitter the day after the incident, to declare that James was the one to receive death threats, and that the unidentified pair ‘seemed to want to get kicked out.’

“A friend of mine was sitting behind them and a few seats to the right. He said they seemed to WANT to get thrown out. Repeatedly wishing death upon LeBron James,” Wexler wrote on Thursday in a tweet directed at a conservative FOX anchor who suggested James’ reaction was exaggerated.

The incident did not mar James’ performance as the Lakers improved to 10-10 with their victory.
