Rarely seen in “King” thus and for that reason the scandal formed. Lebron James was the protagonist of an exchange of insults with a group of four fans during the victory of Los Angeles Lakers 107-99 over Atlanta Hawks. And more words, fewer words, were said of everything.
The fan identified as Juliana Carlos accused LeBron of insulting her and her husband. For its part, James did not deny the altercation and at the post-game press conference he gave his version of events. The Lakers star took what has happened with a lot of humor.
“I’m glad the fans are back. This interaction is strange. We, as players, need this interaction. I feel like I didn’t deserve to be kicked out, there was a back and forth between two big men in what he said his side and I mine. Then there was another party who said theirs too and I don’t think they had to be kicked out. Maybe they had a couple of sips on “, Argued LeBron James.
With the controversy on the table we decided to investigate whether it is possible that LeBron is sanctioned by the NBA for insulting these fans and the answer was forceful: Yes! The two best known backgrounds starred Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, who received a penalty for exchanging insults with fans.
The sanction that Lebron James could receive for insulting an amateur
In 2018, Kevin Durant exchanged insults with a Dallas Mavericks fan and received a $ 25,000 fine to use rude and threatening language with an amateur. This same financial sanction was applied to Russell Westbrook in 2019 for starring in a similar fact. Then this would be it the punishment Lebron James would receive for crossing insults with Juliana Carles.
