Over the years, LeBron James would have heard courtside fans call him all sorts of names, but we haven’t seen him respond to them all that often. During the third quarter of Game 5 between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets, though, a woman could be seen yelling something at James and he decided to scare her in response.

She definitely was not expecting him to react and flinched. An account on X posted a video that showed that James allegedly was complaining about the officials calling a foul on him at that point, and it was what led to the woman calling him a crybaby.
LeBron James: “They (refs) are f***ing horrible. They are f***ing horrible.”
Woman: “You’re a f***ing crybaby.”
James smiled as he walked away after scaring her and the woman kept calling him a crybaby. Afterward, the 39-year-old appeared to mock the woman and seemed to have said, “Scary a**” after that.

I wish I could say that woman learned her lesson but she clearly did not. Well, at least James had some fun at her expense for a bit.
Unfortunately for LeBron, he was not having a lot of fun at the end of this game. The Lakers led by nine points when this incident occurred and it was their largest lead of the night. Just like in the first three games of this series, though, the Lakers weren’t able to hold on.
The Nuggets went ahead just minutes later and a back-and-forth affair ensued after that. Two free throws from LeBron tied the game at 106 with just 26.1 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, but Jamal Murray sunk his second game-winner of the series to clinch a 108-106 win.
LeBron had 30 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists, and 4 steals in this Game 5, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Nuggets from eliminating the Lakers for the second year in a row. Just like last year, a lot of the games were close, but Denver just executed better down the stretch to knock out Los Angeles.
Rich Paul Says LeBron James Might Play For 2-3 More Years
With every season that passes by, the end of James’ incredible career gets closer. His agent Rich Paul was asked if the 39-year-old will play next season and Paul thinks LeBron has 2-3 years left in the NBA.
“I believe so,” Paul said. “We definitely have less years with LeBron James than we’ve already been able to enjoy… I don’t know how long we see him but my conversation with him is just have fun. Just enjoy it because you have a lot less years to play than you’ve already played. I think we see him next year but how many years after that I don’t know. I think he has 2-3 years left in the tank, maybe.”
LeBron just averaged 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game this past regular season, and certainly has gas left in the tank. As long as he doesn’t suffer a serious injury, I think the 20-time All-Star should be able to play for at least two more seasons.
