LeBron James' historic moment of walking the floor with his kid Bronny was almost eclipsed by a fan who was creating quite a ruckus during Sunday's game between the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers. Even though Sunday's game was just a preseason exhibition, there was plenty of activity, especially among the spectators. 

The game was delayed as a consequence of this, which happened at 1:26 in the third quarter. Everything that was happening made Kevin Durant laugh, and he responded to it all with a lot of profanity. The all-time top scorer in the NBA is seen indicating that the fan should be removed. As LeBron saw security take the aforementioned fan from his seat, he had a chuckle with Anthony Davis and his fellow Lakers teammates while sitting on the bench.

As he was removed from the game, KD shouted to the fan, "Get the f—k out!" Los Angeles Lakers bench was grinning over the whole "debacle," and most of the players seemed to be laughing at the fan. Based on short footage that aired on X, the fan originally took possession of the game ball and refused to hand it back to the referee. Unlike in baseball, a ball that finds its way into the crowd cannot be recovered by the fans. When he realized he had to give the ball back, he appeared to lose it.

Several security personnel had to use much force to remove him from the arena because he would not go. Whether the fan was inebriated or believed he had done nothing wrong is now unknown. In spite of this brief delay during the Lakers-Suns game, the Suns beat the Lakers 118-114. The Lakers have lost their first two preseason games despite Anthony Davis, D'Angelo Russell, and LeBron James scoring 50 points apiece in their restricted minutes.

Compared to his first "brazen" comment aimed at fans in the stands, Kevin Durant's embarrassing reply is little. The fact that Durant confronted fans who called him offensive names and told them to "shut the f— up" during his time as a player for the Nets shows that he isn't scared to take shots at supporters with the same valour.
