Maskless heckler ejected, goes on tirade after yelling at LeBron James during Hawks-Lakers game

This is one way to pick up followers.

Hecklers with courtside seats at Monday’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks prompted officials to halt play with a less-than-cordial back-and-forth with LeBron James.

The incident occurred in the fourth quarter of the Lakers’ 107-99 road win. After stopping the game, officials huddled near the sideline seats where fans are allowed to sit at State Farm Arena during the COVID-19 pandemic. They called security over, but didn’t initially appear to eject the fans.
