LeBron’s anthem stunt is beneath him | Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich
“But I will say that practicing your golf swing during the national anthem is childish, ridiculous and stupid behavior for someone who was born to a 16-year-old mother, had to live at his friend’s house and became a billionaire in the country that allowed him to do it.”
The sweetest league in all of sports was back Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
The NBA is back, baby! And with that comes all the failures, mistakes, tantrums, and load management your heart desires. What a sport. It’s simply unrecognizable at this point.
Let’s go.
During the third quarter of Wednesday’s Kings-Lakers game, a fan sitting behind the basket was scolded by Los Angeles star Luka Doncic for throwing the ball back to the referee…too hard…after it went out of bounds.

That’s correct. “Too hard.” Wait until you see this trunk pass by this fan who launches himself at this female NBA referee. Better yet, wait until you see the absolute tantrum Luka throws after seeing it.
Naturally, the fan was ejected.
Take a look and be the judge:
What are we doing here?
“He just threw it really hard – the ball – towards the referee. I just asked him what he was doing.”
Thoughts? First impressions?
To me, it’s crazy. You mean an overreaction. My God. What are we doing here? When I saw this clip go viral on social media last night, I was expecting fireworks. I thought this fan picked up the ball, did a crow jump, threw the ball with all his might and the referee would have flown through the air.
I thought at least she would have fallen to the ground because of the difficulty of the pass.

That’s how Luka reacted, so that’s what I expected.
And then I looked at him. And then I looked at him Again, assuming I missed something. No. That was all. Just a simple chest pass to the referee.

And this guy was EJECTED from the game! Seriously. They threw him out of the arena to that. All because Doncic deemed the pass “really strong.”

Give me a break. I play catch with my toddler in the backyard more aggressively than this, and she can’t catch a cold.
“But Zach, he was defending the referee!”
