Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has seen it all through his 22 years in the NBA and counting. It ranges from immense love to vicious trash-talking and hate from the fans of both sides. Similarly, James came across an ‘annoying fan’ in Saturday’s matchup against the Sacramento Kings at the Golden 1 Center. However, he was left unfazed by the fan but until a certain period.
James scored 23 points, pulled down five rebounds, and dished out three assists in the first half of the Lakers’ game against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday. Some Kings fans started making fun of him on the court because he was feeling so well, but James knew just how to take it. He had played in the NBA for 21 years.
LeBron James told the fan courtside, “Drink your beer and shut the f**k up.” This left the NBA community in tatters. Some found it hilarious while some could not process what the 4-time NBA champion did while playing against the gritty Kings team. The 39-year-old James has heard it all. He has been the most adored and despised player in the game for at least 20 years.

Dating back to his time at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, fans have thrown him nearly every insult known to man. He heard remarks that no athlete ought to hear, and the hostility and hatred he endured after leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010 was unprecedented. Despite all of this, James has been one of the consistent performers in the NBA. No words have affected the Lakers star in this sport to date.
LeBron James going VIRAL for this post-game interview moment
It’s not every day that LeBron James, 39, gets to see his Buckeyes play postseason football. On the other hand, he has done numerous post-game interviews. In the heat of the moment, he decided to leave ESPN’s Dave McMenamin hanging at his locker during an interview so he could check the score.
As he was tuned into his laptop, LeBron James told Dave McMenamin, “Sorry. Sorry, Dave. Sorry, Dave!” He searched for freshman teammate Dalton Knecht, who starred in Knoxville, Tennessee the previous season, after noticing that Ohio State had jumped out to a 21-0 lead over the Vols in the first half.

James made sure his message reached the rookie via Los Angeles Lakers star D’Angelo Russell in the locker room. It’s safe to say that the Lakers dressing room was full of vibes after their win against the Sacramento Kings at the Golden 1 Center. Now, all eyes will be on their upcoming matchups going into the mid-season.
