LeBron James says ‘hating has no age limit’ after popcorn thrown at Bronny

A few hours before LeBron James and his Los Angeles Lakers faced off against the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden, LeBron filled his role as All-Star Dad in addition to superstar basketball player by attending his son Bronny Jr.’s game in nearby Springfield, Mass. However, a viral moment from the game got LeBron’s attention and it wasn’t a positive one.

According to video from the game, a young fan threw popcorn on the court while LeBron’s son Bronny was inbounding the ball while he was in the game for Sierra Canyon. That video prompted LeBron to make a statement that his family is not afraid of haters or popcorn throwers, regardless of age.

LeBron reportedly commissioned a helicopter to take him from the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, where his son played, to the TD Garden in Boston to face off against the Celtics. Monday is the second game of a five-game road trip for the Lakers.
