Sick ‘Fan’ Threatens To Kill LeBron James During Lakers-Nets Game On February 19

“Success makes so many people hate you.”

This quote by Marilyn Monroe can be used as a blueprint for what LeBron James has been facing in his 18-year career. 

Even though he is one of the greatest players to ever play this sport, there is an army of haters judging his every move.

Sometimes, one of these haters goes overboard and becomes dangerous.

Yesterday, parts of a disturbing letter from a “fan” surfaced, in which he detailed his plans to shoot LeBron James in an upcoming game against the Brooklyn Nets on February 19. 

“On Thursday, February 19th, I will be going to a Nets vs Lakers game. I will sneak this gun showed in the picture into the arena and shoot @kingjames in the head during a timeout. You have been warned @kingjames.”

While the post has since been deleted, and the ‘fan’ issued an apology, I’d still be very cautious with threats like these. You never know if someone is actually going to do something.
