“You Could talk trash, you could say ‘I suck,’ all that, that’s fair game. You’re talking about my family like, what are we doing here?

LeBron James did the same against Indiana Pacers
A similar episode happened when Lebron James during his game against Indiana Pacers, asked the referees to kick out some of the fans in the courtside who had gone too far in their talks and were speaking trash against LeBron’s family. After the incident people began comparing the Austin River’s incident with that of LeBron James, the reason being the similarities between the incidents and the reasons behind both the players asking the referees to eject the trash-talking fans.
