Cavaliers fan kicked out of arena for offensive anti-LeBron James shirts

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers took down the Cleveland Cavaliers 115-108 on Monday night, and one fan wasn't too happy about it, taking aim at No. 23. 

A man from the Akron, Ohio, area was thrown out of Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Monday after he held up several offensive T-shirts targeting James, according to Cleveland.com. The 49-year-old was not arrested for the incident and isn't facing any charges. 

The man was reported to arena security by several arena employees, Cavaliers general manager Kobe Altman and several players after he was screaming profanities at James. He also was reportedly holding up T-shirts that read, "LeBron is a racist," "LeBron is a narcissist," "Gloria Goes West: Starring LBJ as king narcissist" and a fourth shirt with a sexual innuendo, according to the report. 

The man became aggressive as security tried to escort him out of the arena and even lunged at one security guard. He refused to leave before being threatened with arrest for trespassing. 

The shirts obviously didn't bother James. He scored 46 points in the win, including making seven of 11 shots from deep. L.A. went on to lose games to the Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Piston. The Lakers will look to get back on track Saturday against the Celtics.
