A courtside heckler learnt the hard way that Omar from “The Wire” wasn’t kidding when he said “come at the king, you best not miss” because the spectator tried to mock LeBron James over his hairline, but it hilariously backfired. The entertaining interaction occurred on Sunday during the Los Angeles Lakers’ away game against the Philadelphia Sixers at the Wells Fargo Centre. As James stood near the premium seats, a person saw his chance and said, Clearly not ready for LBJ’s response:”You still ain’t got no hair though.”James, the first active NBA player to surpass a net worth of $1 billion, locked eyes with the man and shrugged, and said:”It happens. You know what I do got though! Got plenty of it!”The fans laughed their asses off as LeBron walked back up the floor with a smile on his face. LeBron James certainly doesn’t have it every night as he approaches the age of 41. But he is still capable of bringing it.

With the game tied at 105 with 1:11 remaining, James grabbed a pass from Luka Doncic and pulled up from three, retaking the lead for the Lakers. On the next Los Angeles possession, with the Lakers leading by three, James faced Quentin Grimes from the top of the key outside the 3-point line. He then drove to the left wing past the elbow, pulling up for a fadeaway jumper with Grimes’ hand on his face.
