The couple was ejected from State Farm Arena after heckling the Lakers superstar and cursing him out from their seats on the baseline. Following her home team's loss to Los Angeles, the woman - who was later identified as Juliana Carlos - took to Instagram to taunt James.Carlos subsequently garnered immense notoreity on social media, and James even gave her the nickname <a href="http://insider.com/lebron-james-calls-woman-courtside-karen-heated-mid-game-row-2021-2">"Courtside Karen"</a> after <a href="https://www.insider.com/lebron-james-called-chris-carlos-ol-steroid-ass-courtside-fight-2021-2">dubbing her husband "Old Steroid Ass"</a> during the game. Still, the four-time <keyword id="6361805" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="NBA">NBA</keyword> champion still didn't believe his mid-game feud with the pair warranted their removal."There was a back and forth between two grown men, and we said our piece," James said. "He said his piece, I said my piece, and then somebody else jumped into it and said their piece.""But I didn't think they should have been kicked out," he added.<div type="image" title="lebron james" height="1541" width="2055" msid="80656471" hostid="261"></div>James was seemingly unperturbed by the squabble in real time. He finished the game with a formidable 21 points, seven rebounds, and nine assists to lead Los Angeles to a 107-99 victory.He has been a vocal proponent of bringing spectators back to NBA arenas for the 2020-2021 season, and that stance didn't change following Monday night's heated exchange. Though he acknowledges that safety should be a priority during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, James said having "fans in the stands is just - it's just better."<div type="image" title="lebron james" height="1666" width="2222" msid="80656475" hostid="261"></div>"At the end of the day, I'm happy fans are back in the building," James said. "I miss that interaction. I need that interaction. We as players need that interaction.""I love our fans - Laker Nation and everybody else that's against Laker Nation," he added. "It just feels better... It's better for everybody. Especially on the last game of a 14-day road trip."Following the win, the Lakers head back to Los Angeles for a five-game home stand. Fans have not been permitted to attend games at the Staples Center this season.

And then somebody else jumped into it and said their piece, but I didn't think they should have been kicked out. But they might have had a couple drinks, maybe. And they could have probably kept it going during the game, and the game wouldn't have been about the game no more. So I think the referees did what they had to do. And I mean, it's fine."

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The Carnival Cruise ship Sunrise has been having persistent air conditioning problems.</li><li>The company says repairs are nearly finished but passengers say the heat on board is dangerous.</li></ul>Despite assurances from Carnival Cruise Line that the repairs for <a href="https://www.insider.com/carnival-sunrise-cruise-passengers-refund-handling-overheated-trip-air-conditioning-2023-8">persistent air conditioning problems on board the Sunrise</a> were nearly completed, passengers who disembarked August 12, following a recent voyage, say the ongoing extreme temperatures on the ship — both in staterooms and common areas like the restaurants, lobbies, and hallways — are causing more than just an inconvenience.This is the second time air conditioning failure has been reported on this particular ship this summer. The first time was on the July 24 Grand Cayman cruise, and after customer complaints, Carnival told Insider that "the main coils that led to the problem" had been replaced and the cruise line was "finishing" the rest of the repairs. However, seven passengers who returned from an August 7 voyage on the ship to the Cayman Islands told Insider they experienced temperatures so unbearable on board that they said became dangerous.Sade King told Insider that her asthma was triggered so badly by temperatures in her room — which she said hovered just below 80 — that she required emergency medical attention while at sea and is still struggling to breathe properly. Asthma can be triggered by hot weather and humidity, according to the <a href="https://aafa.org/asthma/asthma-triggers-causes/weather-triggers-asthma/#:~:text=Heat%20and%20Humidity,the%20air%20irritate%20sensitive%20airways." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America</a>."I just prayed to God like, 'God, please just hurry up and get me off that boat,'" King, an experienced cruiser, told Insider, adding: "That was the cruise from hell."Outside, as the ship sailed to Jamaica and Grand Cayman, the heat outside reached over 90 degrees. Temperatures above 80 degrees require people, especially those with underlying illnesses, to take caution to prevent heat-related illness, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/11/health/most-at-risk-heat-wave-wellness/index.html">CNN</a>. Over 90 degrees, the weather becomes dangerous, where heat illness is likely, and heat stroke becomes possible, CNN reported.Representatives for Carnival Cruise Line did not respond to Insider's questions regarding any medical emergencies air conditioning issues may have caused. In a July 30 <a href="https://www.insider.com/guest-say-cabins-overheating-carnival-sunrise-cruise-air-conditioning-failed-2023-7">statement</a> to Insider, the company said record high ocean temperatures put "added stress on air conditioning systems on land and sea." Then, <a href="https://www.insider.com/carnival-sunrise-cruise-passengers-refund-handling-overheated-trip-air-conditioning-2023-8">in an August 12 statement</a> to Insider, the company said the primary coils that caused the initial failure had been replaced and the cruise line was "finishing the work" to restore the system to every impacted stateroom.Despite the company's assurances that the repairs were underway and a port stop on August 9 in Jamaica where additional air conditioning repairs were conducted while passengers went ashore, King told Insider that passengers on board the Sunrise that week "were sweating like you ran two marathons." The lack of relief from the heat worsened her initial symptoms of shortness of breath, wheezing, disorientation, and exhaustion. Andrew Fowl, another passenger on board the same Sunrise cruise told Insider the air in some parts of the ship was restored on August 9, including his family's stateroom. Still, four other passengers, including King, said the heat continued to climb in their staterooms on the third and fourth floors. King's 13-year-old son had a nosebleed, and overnight, she continued to wheeze, despite using her inhaler and emergency medications. <div type="image" title="Sade King on oxygen aboard the Carnival Sunrise, where she suffered an asthma attack." height="2316" width="2316" msid="103148017" hostid="261" sizebytes="220214"></div>Later on August 10, after complaining to customer service and insisting she be given a wheelchair and taken to the medical bay, King said Carnival employees brought her to the on-board physician. The first thing they told her was that her room would be charged for any medical treatment she received."The last call I made was to my parents in Connecticut: 'Ma, I don't know what is going to happen. I'm on this boat with my kids and I don't know what's going to happen, and I need you to know this information,'" King told Insider. "And a friend that I went to high school with, she happened to be on the same boat, and I had to give her my parents' information. Just in case."King agreed to receive medical care, though she later argued with staff that she should not be required to pay due to the heat triggering her asthma, and the charges were vacated. Carnival's medical staff administered the oxygen and steroids that King needed to stabilize, took blood work and a COVID test, and performed an x-ray and an EKG.Medical notes from King's pulmonologist that Insider reviewed indicate she had an "acute attack" while at sea and was still having problems with her breathing four days later. The physician's notes, taken two days after she returned home, mention the lack of air conditioning on the ship was likely a contributing factor to the severity of the attack.Despite her repeated requests both immediately after receiving medical care and after returning home, King says Carnival has not provided her a copy of her medical records from on board. She was not charged for the care while in the ship's medical bay and received an approximately $350 refund (50% of her cruise fare for three of the five nights) due to the temperature in her stateroom not meeting the cruise line's "threshold" for comfortable temperatures. Representatives for Carnival Cruise did not answer Insider's questions regarding the specific temperature threshold or calculation used to determine a refund.Two passengers from the August 7-12 cruise whose identities are known to Insider said their families were satisfied after receiving a similar credit for their fare. Two additional passengers aboard the Sunrise on the August 7-12 cruise who spoke to Insider indicated they had received varying refund amounts and weren't satisfied with the outcome. One passenger of the July 24 cruise received her refund after <a href="https://www.insider.com/carnival-sunrise-cruise-passengers-refund-handling-overheated-trip-air-conditioning-2023-8">Insider reported</a> on the persistent air problems she experienced.The Carnival Sunrise, which sailed its maiden voyage in 1999 under the name Triumph, underwent a $200 million refurbishment and was renamed in 2019, according to the industry news outlet <a href="https://cruisefever.net/carnival-cruise-ship-getting-200-million-makeover-and-a-new-name/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cruise Fever</a>. Before the rebrand, the ship was known for a 2013 engine failure that caused raw sewage to back up into passenger's rooms in an incident Insider and other media outlets referred to as the "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-carnival-went-from-fun-ship-to-poop-cruise-2013-2">poop cruise</a>." "I can't tell you how degrading it felt being on that boat and like how disrespectful — because you have people that work, we work hard for our money," King told Insider, adding that, after the July 24 cruise set sail without air conditioning, Carnival staff "knowingly put us on this raggedy ass boat that should never have left Miami." She added: "That boat, they need to just get rid of it."

It had been upgraded to hell.""I think it's important to do as much of it yourself as you can, But I'll step aside when there's something that's just too gnarly and there's a trained professional ready to go," he added.The 45-year-old actor has become known for doing many of his own action stunts in blockbuster franchises like "<keyword id="12887434" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="deadpool" source="Orion">Deadpool</keyword>" and "The Hitman's Bodyguard."But Reynolds has also been injured from performing stunts before, and those mounting injuries, combined with painkillers, could be a recipe for long-term <keyword id="11894571" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="health" source="Orion">health</keyword> complications later in life. <h2>Reynolds has suffered previous neck and back injuries on set</h2>Reynolds told <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/uk/building-muscle/a755725/how-to-build-a-body-like-ryan-reynolds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Men's Health</a> that he has suffered a damaged spinal disc, two separated shoulders, and a painful <a href="https://www.insider.com/neck-pain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">neck injury on</a> action movie sets throughout his career. "I'm dealing with a ton of nagging injuries. You think that an actor wouldn't experience the same injuries as an athlete. But over 15 years of intermittent action <keyword id="11898343" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="movies" source="Orion">movies</keyword>, you get your ass kicked," he said. The injuries could leave Reynolds with <a href="https://www.insider.com/lower-back-pain-causes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chronic pain</a> as he gets older, as well as serious medical conditions if his body continues to take punishment.People who've suffered herniated discs can be at risk for saddlebag anesthesia — a condition in which a person loses sensation in their inner thighs, around their rectum, and down the back of their legs, according to interventional pain medicine specialist David Wu via <a href="https://www.curepain.net/blog/the-long-term-effects-of-ignoring-a-herniated-disc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CurePain.net</a>. <h2>Taking painkillers too much, too often can cause organ damage if consumed in excess</h2>Compounding pain and injuries with painkillers like Advil can be risky.Advil is a branded version of <a href="https://www.insider.com/aspirin-vs-ibuprofen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ibuprofen</a>, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that can also be sold as a generic.While it is sold over the counter, and generally safe, consuming too much ibuprofen, and too often, can cause long-term effects, according to the <a href="https://adf.org.au/drug-facts/ibuprofen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alcohol and Drug Foundation</a>. These damages include bleeding in the stomach and bowels, anemia from said bleeding, hearing impairments, damage to the kidneys and liver, and a higher risk of a heart attack.

'Mad Max' reviews sound like it may be the must-see movie of the summer

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Jill D'Onfro / BI</div></div></div>When I first started using <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/galaxy-note-3-review-2013-9" target="_blank">Samsung's Galaxy Note 3</a>, almost everything about its enormous size annoyed me. I couldn't text with one hand. It barely fit in my pocket, or didn't at all. I felt silly holding it up to my ear to talk on the phone. It was the least subtle or elegant phone I'd ever seen.
Even my friends were horrified. I'd plop the Note onto a table or I'd whip it out to take a picture, and anyone I was hanging out with would double-take.
"What is that thing?!" they'd gasp.
<div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right"><div class="image on-image">Business InsideriPhone 5, Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tart, Samsung </div></div>I quickly learned that people who don't write about tech for a living have never heard the term "phablet" - a phone / tablet hybrid, which is what the Note 3 is. It clocks in at a whopping 5.95-inches long and 3.12-inches wide, which is <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/samsungs-galaxy-note-3-vs-pop-tart-and-iphone-5s-2013-10">about the width of a Pop-Tart</a>, with a couple extra inches tacked on, length-wise.
Large-screen phones are well on their way to becoming the "next big thing," even though many people still think that they're ridiculous-looking. <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304856504579338611620927036">Analysts estimate that</a> nearly one-fourth of smartphones shipped world-wide in the third quarter of 2013 had displays of 5 inches or more, with that number set to increase (giant phones are especially popular in the burgeoning Asian market).
Rumor has it that <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-iphone-6-screen-size-2014-2">even Apple is planning an upgrade</a> for iPhone 6, from its four-inch display to something bigger. If a big-screen iPhone happens, it will be because the Samsing's Galaxy phones proved that consumers want big screens. Thus the prospect of a big-screen iPhone 6 is the No.1 threat to Galaxy.
<h2>The Beginning</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="Jill D'Onfro / BI" title_caption="" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/532ef68deab8eaf27c2aab87-960/dsc_0511.jpg"></a>Jill D'Onfro / BI</div></div></div>I've been <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/12-ways-android-is-still-better-than-ios-7-2013-9?">an Android person for several years</a> now (I initially switched from the iPhone for price reasons when it broke between upgrades, but I stayed for the customization and integration). I've been using a phone with an average 4.3-inch display. But now, having switched to the humongous Note 3 for several weeks, I don't want to go back to a small-screen phone ever again.
For the first week and a half I used the Galaxy Note 3, it felt like an obnoxious novelty. "Ha ha, look at how stupidly huge this phone is!"
I had to start carrying around a purse more than usual (several guy-friends even had issues stuffing the phone into their pocket), and I felt ridiculous texting.
Sure, I noticed some of the upsides right away. YouTube videos looked amazing on the Note's super clear-and-bright display. I could read long articles on my morning commute without squinting. Every mouth-watering detail of my friend's Instagrammed brunch looked bigger and more tasty.
Eventually, other less-obvious pros started becoming apparent. In general, the camera on the Note 3 kicks ass, but even if it wasn't inherently light-years ahead of my old camera, it would still benefit from the huge screen. Not only could I frame each shot much better, but it was easier to put the camera's focus on exactly what I wanted. I really <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-app-that-iphone-users-couldnt-put-down-is-finally-launching-on-android-2014-3">stepped up my QuizUp game</a> because, with so much screen real-estate, it was nearly impossible to flub a quick tap and press the wrong answer. If I was a Flappy Bird fan, I know that I'd have a much easier time keeping the creature aloft and I'm sure the Candy Crush experience would be divine.
Even something as simple as scrolling through my Twitter feed was a more enjoyable experience with 5.7-inches of reading room. Oh, and did I mention that my Snapchat art became a lot more ornate? (Samsung's Galaxy Note phones come with the "S Pen," a sort of stylus on steroids, which lets you make detailed drawings on the huge screen, among a million other things.)
Once I started using Swype (an Android keyboard that lets you type without lifting your finger between letters), I actually mastered using the Note one-handed and was texting twice as fast. I feel like I could write a novel on the Note 3, or at least a Business Insider article.
At first, answering phone calls on the Galaxy felt like the most awkward thing ever, because it looked like I was holding a brick up to my head. But guess what? Bricks are exactly the right length to extend between your ear and your mouth! I swear, when talking on the phone with the Note 3, each call was clearer.
<h2>Converted</h2>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">Jill D'Onfro / BI</div></div></div>To anyone who says that they wouldn't like using a big phone before ever trying one, I urge you to reconsider. A huge phone like the Note 3 provides an amazing overall experience. Everything a little phone can do, a big phone can do better, besides fitting in your pocket. After using the Note 3 for several weeks, I can confidently say that that tighter fit isn't even remotely a game-changer.
At this point, I'm downright rabid about how much I love using Samsung's Galaxy Note 3. Every time I have to go back and do something on my tiny-tiny phone, I balk in horror at how small everything looks, frantically wondering how soon until my next Verizon upgrade so I can buy one to use permanently. In short, I fell in love. You may think that the nearly 6-inches look foolish at first, but, trust me, bigger really is better. 
If Apple doesn't actually end up releasing a big phone this year, it's going to be left in the dust as more people decided switch to Samsung and others to get their big-phone fix.
