Some people love him, while some hate him. But whatever people do, they always pay attention to LeBron James. Some fans at the United Center in Chicago were having some fun heckling The King while he was on the bench in the Los Angeles Lakers – Chicago Bulls showdown last night.
James, in jest, savagely responded to the heckling fans, as posted by Sports on Tap on Instagram:

James wasn't really able to silence the hecklers with his savage joke. But he did silence his doubters once again with yet another magnificent performance against the Bulls.
The King showed that he continues to defy Father Time with his third consecutive triple-double of the season. LeBron became the first Laker since Magic Johnson to register that feat since Magic Johnson.
James notched 30 points on 10-of-19 shooting from the field and 8-of-9 from the charity striple. He also added 10 rebounds, and 11 assists to help lift the Lakers to the 118-112 come from behind victory over Chicago.
The Lakers overcame an 18-point deficit in the third quarter and had to storm back from 13 points down in the fourth quarter. Third-year forward Kyle Kuzma, who recently came back from injury, helped spark Los Angeles' come back effort with a massive fourth quarter.
Kuzma, with James and Anthony Davis resting on the bench, dropped 11 of his 15 points in the final frame to help the Lakers get their sixth straight win of the season.
The Lakers will play at Staples Center for their next two outings against the Miami Heat and the defending champion Toronto Raptors. One thing is for sure, LeBron won't get some heckling fans for these next two games.
