LeBron James has once again proved he is the most classless superstar in sports.
He has money… he has championships… but with every passing day, he loses the respect of fans and players alike.
Fans pay good money to see these guys play ball and players usually turn a deaf ear to boos and catcalls, knowing it is just part of the game.
Not James, though, as he feels the need to confront anyone that dares to challenge him.
You Are No GOAT
The most significant players of the game do not allow hecklers to get to them.
They surely do not engage with them in a hostile way when cameras are rolling.
Well, correction… that would be everyone but LeBron James.
The Lakers were getting clocked by the Pelicans on Sunday at home, eventually falling 123-95.
The crowd was furious as the Lakers appeared to just take the game off…
the boos are real 🔊 https://t.co/qNnyeLKYpl

One fan got under LeBron’s skin, however, when LeBron tried to embarrass the fan, telling him, “What do you know about basketball other than the ball going in or not? Shut yo a** up.”
LeBron & Trevor Ariza confronted LAKER FAN hecklers during their blowout loss to NOLA:
LeBron: “What do you know about basketball other than the ball going in or not? Shut yo a** up.”
Ariza: “I don’t give a fu** what you are! You a b*tch! How about that?”

The Lakers have the fourth-highest salary total in the league at $163.7 million.
The Pelicans are ranked 18th, at roughly $30 million less, not to mention the Lakers have some of the biggest names in the game on their roster.
LeBron is nothing more than a punk, and he proves it every day.
He can dish it out, but the moment someone comes back at him, he whines like a little baby.
