LeBron James, Lakers Players Exchange Words With Fans During Blowout Loss to Pelicans

LeBron James and other Lakers players can be seen getting into a verbal altercation with fans during their latest loss Sunday night. Several instances of profanity can be heard in a video here

In the first part of the video recorded by a separate fan, it appears that James is exchanging words with a fan behind the Pelicans’ bench. Then, in what appears to be a separate incident, several players on the Lakers’ bench had a heated exchange with a spectator. It's unclear whether it was with the same person.

Russell Westbrook made an appearance at the end of the video, in which he appears to yell, “Go home.”
