LeBron James was all sorts of salty after last night’s game 3 against the Celtics.
According to several reports, LeBron got into a heated exchange with a heckling fan who was mocking the Cavs star about his 11 point performance.

LeBron James exchanged words with a heckling fan just before his postgame press conference following the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 111-108 loss to the Boston Celtics Sunday in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.
James was about to walk into the interview room when a fan chastised him for scoring just 11 points. James did a quick 180 and asked the fan what he said. The fan repeated the line about just 11 points. At that point, James walked toward the fan and asked him what he has ever done.
The fan said he played at Hiram College, a private liberal arts school in Hiram, Ohio.
Security then ushered the fan away from James and into a room. It was an intense moment made strange by the fact that a Cavs fan would heckle James for an off night when James is the one who delivered Cleveland a championship last June.

After snapping at the fan, LeBron took out his frustrations on a reporter at the postgame press conference just moments later.
