LeBron James once flexed his authority as King of the Court by kicking out two fans from an Indiana arena. DEETS inside.
LeBron James once fans booted from Indiana Arena on November 27, 2019, during a game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse (now Gainbridge Fieldhouse) in Indianapolis.
James, playing for the Lakers, led his team to a 124-116 victory over the Pacers. During the game's closing minutes (reportedly in overtime), James alerted the referee to a courtside section where two fans were allegedly harassing him.
James' complaint resulted in the officials approaching the fans and ultimately ejecting them from the arena. Reports suggest the fans hurled insults at James, possibly targeting his son, Bronny. This personal attack crossed a line and prompted James to get them removed.

During a Los Angeles Lakers win against the Atlanta Hawks, LeBron James got into a verbal altercation with courtside fans. A particular fan, Juliana Carlos, became a focal point. Back-and-forth yelling was involved. Four fans, including Carlos, were ejected from the game.
James took to social media, calling Carlos "Courtside Karen" and posting a picture seemingly mocking her. However, he also stated he disagreed with their ejection.
Carlos gave her side of the story on social media. She claimed that the exchange wasn't as heated as portrayed and that her comments were playful.
