LeBron James catches Warriors fan making fun of him

THIS fan learnt the hard way why you should never mock LeBron James, especially when you are within earshot of The King.

IF you are going to make fun of LeBron James, at least try not to do it right to his face.

That is exactly what one fan did during the Cleveland Cavalier’s Christmas Day clash with the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors fan, seated courtside, motioned to her friend that James was acting like a bit of a “cry baby”. Unfortunately, the Cavs star turned around at just the wrong moment.

Busted. https://t.co/czRe1jhVdJ

Well that was incredibly awkward.

LeBron didn’t bother to make any comment in response to the fan’s sledge — quite frankly his deathly stare seemed enough.

The fan was later identified as Alicia Goetz, wife of millionare businessman Jim Goetz, a partner at Sequoia Capital.

James was clearly not phased by Goetz’s snub, going on to score a game-high 25 points in his side’s 89-83 loss to the Warriors.

Golden State moved to a record of 28-1 with their victory, while the Cavs dropped to 19-8.

After the defeat, James praised his opponents in Steph Curry and Draymond Green, while appearing disappointed in his own performance, despite being Cleveland’s top scorer.

Even in defeat and even playing horrible(personally) nothing like playing in atmospheres like @OracleArena vs @StephenCurry30 @Money23Green
