Fans have long flocked to watch King James in action, and Friday’s game was no exception. However, during halftime, a fan approached LeBron James in the tunnel.
Incidents like this are not new in the NBA. Most recently, a similar situation occurred when a fan crossed the line as Stephen Curry was heading to the locker room, which resulted in the fan being removed from the arena.
Friday’s game also featured a historic moment for the LeBron James family. The father-and-son duo recorded the first-ever father-and-son assist in NBA history.
Following Bronny James’ recent performance against the Indiana Pacers, LeBron couldn’t hide his admiration for his son’s progress. After Friday’s win, Bronny shared his thoughts on his father’s encouragement.
“Yeah, I mean, I’ve gotten more and more reps. Been comfortable. Shooting behind the NBA line. You know, I’ve gotten more and more comfortable for me to just shoot it without thinking.
LeBron James has spent 23 seasons dealing with fans. Most are great. Some cross the line. Friday night, one fan in the tunnel found out the hard way that personal space still applies even to the King.
The reaction was quick. The message was clear. And the Lakers kept winning. Some lines just aren’t meant to be crossed.
