LeBron attempts to physically intimidate a female Denver fan

OP thought he got a great thread to collectively hate on LeBron and got ratioed instead. What an i****.

Nah I know better than that. Most of these replies are coming from a troll farm. It’s easy to try and force a consensus on a small site like this but what happened on r/nba Reddit yesterday shows that LeBron’s PR team knows how awful this makes LeBron look. This got posted on there yesterday, probably because they initially thought it looked good, and it instantly becomes the most upvoted post thanks to vote manipulation. There were initially lots of accounts calling it hilarious but then they got way outnumbered by people saying it looks awful. Then the mods deleted the thread after only a few hours

If you cant laugh at this there is something wrong with you.

Sorry I’m not an incel/woman hater so I don’t find the idea of physical violence towards women to be funny

Lol

Please do me a favor and define "physical violence".

Do yourself a favor and look up the word threat

Bro, it's a losing cause trying to convince sensible people LeBron perpetuated a threat. And if you believe that, it warrants a completely different discussion not fit for this Board.

so what's new

That was hilarious, play dumb games when dumb prizes

Meh, don't think it's a good look...at all. Violence, or threatening violence against women isn't a joke. It is a big deal that a player juked towards her. There's only one reason you make that movement. Whether he was doing it as a joke and was smiling after it is not the point. What does he have to do for it to be too far, raise his fist at her?

IDK maybe the current climate here in Australia and the propaganda on the news regarding violence against women might just be testing my sense of humor.

No man you’re right and it’s not because of the climate in Australia. Most people would find his actions very objectionable. The replies you’re seeing are not an accurate representation of how people feel. They’re coming from a troll farm by people who literally get paid to promote LeBron James

Also admit even though I don't care about this, I'm amused by OP's commitment to the crusade and impressed by his willingness to accept and give out smoke. I respect anyone with principles they don't reject out of peer pressure.

You should start a thread on Reddit about us backwards people on realgm all coming from the local troll farm.

Alright, there's the baseless narrative to illicit a response I was looking for. Locking this now.

If another mod reopens it, so be it, but there's no legitimate basketball discussion to be had here.
