LeBron James on his ‘suck it up!’ heckler: ‘I guess she told me!’

On Sunday, a well-heeled fan in Oklahoma City’s front row decided that she’d had enough of LeBron James’ carping to the refs, as James (unsuccessfully) argued for a call to send Richard Jefferson to the free throw line for three free throws. The woman yelled at LeBron to “suck it up,” as he worked the zebras.

LeBron gave the clip new life overnight on late Sunday evening when he acknowledged the woman:

Eh, she didn’t really “show” him anything. LeBron, on the other hand …

Well, to start, Jefferson hit both of his free throws. James then emerged in the second half to play nearly the entire third quarter as Cleveland pulled away with separate 11-0 and 15-2 runs against the backpedaling Thunder, notching 95 points by the end of the third quarter.

James finished with 25 points, 11 assists, three steals and seven rebounds in the win, as Cleveland won handily on OKC’s home court in a nationally televised game by a 115-92 score.

And, as you’d guess, the obvious conclusion is that LeBron not only sucked it up, but he showed both the Thunder, that fan, and everyone else something we needed to be reminded of: LeBron James is really, really good at this.

Don’t tug on Superman’s cape, OK?
