LeBron James Brutally Silenced An Oklahoma City Fan Last Night
(Recently he's been on an historically unprecedented shooting streak that have people comparing him to Jordan or a space alien.)
And then something set him off.
With two minutes left in the half, James drilled a three pointer from the left wing. On the next possession, he hit a contested two from the left wing. On the next possession, with the shot clock running out, he hit a two from the same spot. Finally, standing on the left wing again, with everyone—including helpless defender Kendrick Perkins—knowing he was going to shoot, James nailed a three pointer.
Turns out he put on this show to silence a fan.
From ESPN:
He said it all started with a fan who taunted him.
"He said, 'Shoot it. You can't shoot.' So, I said, 'OK,' and I shot it. I made it, and then I made another one, and then I made another one, and then I made another one, and he stopped talking to me," James said.
Update: That fan was University of Oklahoma center Gabe Ikard.
