I’ll get this out of the way in the very first sentence because this video has a ton of strong language. So, I’d recommend headphones unless you want to blast a lot of cursing through your speakers.
Monday night’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena was briefly paused when a fan seated courtside started getting into it with LeBron James. The referees and arena staff had to step in, and eventually both fans — a husband and wife — were escorted out of the arena.
The woman involved in the exchange took to Instagram and claimed she was standing up for her husband. LeBron tweeted after the game, calling her “Courtside Karen.”
But what was said exactly?
Well, thanks to a much-needed breakdown from Jomboy Media, we can hear what the enhanced microphones picked up from the whole scene. (Warning: NSFW language)

Woo buddy. That was a lot.
Of course, none of this would have happened if the Hawks had opted to not sell courtside seats during a pandemic. But even after all that, LeBron still didn’t think the fans deserved to be ejected.
