In the fourth quarter of a blowout loss against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Los Angeles Lakers' Carmelo Anthony got into a heated exchange with a couple of 76ers fans who were heckling the veteran.

According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the taunts had racial undertones with the fan repeatedly calling Anthony “boy.” The fan was yelling "get in the corner boy" and "keeping shooting boy," per Haynes' report.
