LeBron James fires back at Knicks fans who called him soft as Spike Lee rises from his seat
Knicks fans needled LeBron James about his helicopter trips to Philly and called him soft. He answered back courtside as Spike Lee stood up nearby.
LeBron James was not about to let a few Knicks fans have the last word.
During the Sixers game against the Knicks in New York, a group of fans near the court started ribbing him. They teased him about flying into Philly by helicopter and called him "soft."
LeBron answers back
James turned and gave it right back to them. "Ain't nothing soft in the Midwest," he shot back.
As the exchange heated up, Spike Lee got to his feet. The famous Knicks superfan was wearing a bright orange pinstriped suit.
The last laugh
James got the final word on the scoreboard too. The Sixers beat the Knicks 106-100. Later in the night he was spotted slapping hands with someone sitting courtside.
