Fan kicked out of Lakers-Cavs for harassing LeBron James

At least one fan didn’t like LeBron James’s return to Cleveland this week.

A man from the Akron, Ohio area was kicked out of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 115-108 victory over the Cavaliers at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Monday night, after bringing in several T-shirts with offensive shots against James, according to the Cleveland.com.

The 49-year-old man, who has not been identified, has not been arrested and faces no charges for the incident.

The man, according to Cleveland.com, was reported to the arena security by several team officials, Cavaliers general manager Kobe Altman, and several Cleveland players on Monday night after they said he he was shouting obscenities.

The man held up several shirts that said: “LeBron is a racist”, “LeBron is a narcissist”, “Gloria Goes West: Starring LBJ as the narcissistic king” and a fourth shirt with a sexual overture, according to the report. The third slogan refers to James’ mother, Gloria.

The man, who was sitting behind one of the baskets on the lower level, reportedly became “extremely aggressive” and started shouting at security guards while refusing to show his shirts. They started to escort him out of the arena, although he kept shouting profanity and still ran into a security guard, grabbed his hands and hit her.

He refused to leave and even tried five different times to run back to the stadium and “make his way” through guards and officers.

Finally, after threatening to arrest him for trespassing, the man left.

James clearly didn’t notice or care about it. James lost 46 points, the highest of the season, in victory, 21 of which occurred in the fourth period. He hit 19 out of 26 on the field and an impressive 7 out of 11 behind the hoop.
