LeBron James jokes with pregnant Hawks fan at Game 2 (Video)
By Josh Hill
LeBron James heckled, trolled and ultimately protected a pregnant woman sitting on courtside seats at Game 2 on Friday night.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are trying to make it to the NBA Finals for the first time in almost a decade and only the second time with LeBron James. To do that, LeBron James needs to be focused, and he’s done his part to do that in unplugging from social media until after the Cavaliers are out of the postseason.
But every once in a while, LeBron James has slowed down to enjoy this run to the NBA Finals, and we saw a bit of that on Friday night against the Hawks.
During Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron James heckled, trolled and also protected a pregnant fan sitting courtside.
The heckle was assuming she’s pregnant — which LeBron had better hope to God that she is. The troll was telling her to get Do Not Disturb sign for being pregnant. But the protection was that LeBron James saw that the woman was pregnant and decided against lightly falling into the crowd like basketball players tend to do.
LeBron James is wining NBA fans back over now that he’s with the Cavaliers again and fulfilling his destiny to bring a title to Cleveland. Little things like this are more reason to like LeBron James more than you did before.
