Atlanta Hawks Fans Troll Lebron James in Loss to Cavs
By Kit Anderson
Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavs beat the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night 123-107 even after being short handed. The Hawks may have been less than stellar on Friday but their fans were in rare form.
Any time that Lebron James is in town you can be sure there will be a large audience and plenty of creative jabs thrown the Kings way. Friday was no different with the Hawks using the Cavs recent overnight rebuild and Lebron’s impending free agency.
When the Cavs when visit the free throw line here are some of the chants that they would hear: “Lebron will leave you”, “Lebron will trade you”, and my personal favorite, “Where are your teammates” directed towards Lebron.
Lebron James is set to become a free agent at the end of the season and his possible destination has been the obsession of the NBA world.
Two out of the three jabs that fans sent the Cavs way were legitimate. Lebron will likely leave Cleveland at the end of the season and the lack of players the Cavs had yesterday was laughable.
What wasn’t laughable for the Hawks is how easily the shorthanded Cavs beat the Hawks. Pulling away in the third quarter and never looking back thanks in part to Kyle Korver and another Lebron James triple double.
The jabs are both amusing and point out how obsessed the League has become with Lebron James and his potential landing spots and the drama in the Cavs locker room. James got the last laugh however, with an easy win ending the game sitting on the bench as the Hawk’s misery continued.
