We said our piece; he said his piece, I said my piece, and then someone else jumped into it and said their piece, LeBron James, via ‘Vibe’. James didn’t think they should have been “kicked out” over the argument but acknowledged that the referees know best. . I don’t feel like it was warranted to be kicked out … They might have had a couple drinks, maybe and they could have probably kept it going and the game wouldn’t have been about the game no more, so I think the referees did what they had to do, LeBron James, via ‘Vibe’. Ultimately, James is “happy” that fans are “back in the building.” . At the end of the day, I’m happy fans are back in the building. I miss that interaction. I need that interaction; we as players need that interaction, LeBron James, via ‘Vibe’
