Woulda been cooler if he blinded him with the lazer. Just annoying someone is pretty easy, I mean, seriously, look in ANY thread in this forum.

James is supposed to be a professional basketball player. He is a hell of a player, but he acts like a bitch sometimes. Suck it the fuck up and drive on!

What are you talking about? He just said that he didn't want someone shining a laser pointer in his face while he's trying to play the game.

And he wasn't the only one to get the laser pointer on him as he was shooting free throws. One of his teammates got it too.

In the early days of professional basketball (when the was no out of bounds, there were chicken wire fences to keep the ball in play at all time) fans would burn the players with their cigars. A laser in the eye is a minor thing. Suck it the fuck up King James!

Cigar burns are nothing. You could permanently blind someone with a laser pointer(depending on the type) and at the least cause someone enough minutes of blindness to stop playing as well. A cigar burn is nowhere near the same, what the hell is that going to do besides hurt and leave a mark? A laser pointer can harm someone's professional courier for like. ^_~

He is getting paid millions of dollars a year to play a game. a little laser on the chest (not the eye) never hurt anyone

Yeah but it would easily go into the eye. And it could be mistaken for a sniper. It endangers the game.

Hehe a cigar burn to the eye would be pretty bad. But it wouldn't do any permanent damage unless you really jammed it in there.

But it didn't!!! And a sniper? Please! The NBA isn't Columbian soccer where players get killed for poor performances.

If that fan keeps doing this, it could get someone's eye eventually... If they stop drinking long enough to aim it right, that is.

Yeah, but they do get fired or become pariahs of the fans. If some fellow sport enthusist wants to get some ass in trouble for ruining the game, its cool. Then once the fan is put on television he will be assaulted randomly by crazed basketball fans...


And thus justice will be served the American Way.

And even if King James gets hit in the eye with a laser pointer, he will still be getting paid millions to play a game.
