It cost James 15k.
After making a great shot, he grabbed his crotch. There's a story here. Two Indiana fans were ejected for grabbing their crotch and it caught the attention of the NBA star. After making the next shot, he grabbed his crotch and returned the favor to the crowd.
"When obscene gestures and language come into it, can't be accepted," said the player. There is a difference between cheering for your team and not wanting the other team to win, and things I would never say to a fan.
It's been a rough November for one of the best players ever, as evidenced by the Lakers' overtime win. You know, last week, he was suspended for elbowing Detroit center Isaiah Stewart. Both players were kicked out of the game after a bloodied Stewart went after the other player.
He was enraged by the fact that he was also suspended for a game. He said the elbow was accidental and that the NBA officials benched him. He said that he was just grateful for Stewart. NBA officials gave him a warning after he made the "bulls" comment.
The contact with Stewart was explained by LeBron. I was off balance a little bit because of his elbow. My arm was lifted by his elbow. I tried to swim on his arm. He got off balance when I went down on his arm, and the left side of my hand grazed his face.
I didn't think it was necessary to suspend Stewart, but I thought it was necessary to ejected him because of what happened after that. The league made that call.
