The Atlanta Hawks are apparently allowing fans to sit courtside at games these days and on Monday night two of them got a little heated with LeBron James, so much so that the game was stopped and the fans were removed.
For real.
The fans didn’t seem to be too happy about being removed, either, as one woman reportedly gave the double-bird salute on her way out.
I don’t know the details of what was said, all I know is it was enough for the refs to pause the game and have security step in.
This happened with a little over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. Check this out:

If anyone knows who the women are at the end of the video, slide in my DMs please. Would love to talk to them https://t.co/nxWADP3vGb

And here’s the on-scene report from The Athletic’s Chris Kirschner:
Two women and two men have been escorted off the court. One of the women left with middle fingers up toward the court. https://t.co/qlQGlsYIBm
