LeBron James had a rough Sunday night. The Cavs lost, he was obviously upset, and an emboldened heckler in Cleveland compared being an NBA superstar to playing for Division-III Hiram College.
LeBron James’ heckler thrown out while screaming his own D-III stats
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Look, we’re not saying that playing for Hiram College isn’t as prestigious as the NBA ... well, yes, that’s exactly what we’re saying. Either way, props to the fan for having the guts to see his heckling through to completion. This means he had:
- The guts to heckle LeBron James.
- The fortitude to keep heckling after being owned.
- The confidence to quote his own D-III basketball stats.
Sadly, the fan was removed before LeBron could learn more about Hiram College. Just so he can catch up, here are some fun facts about the school.
- Their team is called the Terriers.
- There are just over 1,300 students.
- The 20th president of the United States, James A. Garfield, graduated from Hiram College.
- Their basketball team won the gold medal in the collegiate division of the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis.
So there you go.
