LeBron James didn’t hold back when responding to a trash-talking Sacramento Kings fan during the Lakers' matchup on Saturday. The incident took place in the second quarter as Keegan Murray was shooting free throws with 10:17 remaining and the Lakers holding a 36-33 lead.
In a video that has since gone viral on social media, LeBron can be seen locking eyes with the heckler seated in the rows behind the rim. The 20-time All-Star maintained a serious expression before delivering his response to the fan, whose comments weren’t picked up on the mic.
However, LeBron’s sharp retort was clearly audible, as the four-time NBA champion shut down the smack-talking Kings fan with a single, pointed one-liner.
