LeBron James’ biggest hater was courtside to potentially witness The King’s last NBA game
I assume everyone here is familiar with the concept of a “hate watch,” correct.
If you are even a casual sports fan, you have engaged in hate watching before.
The premise is quite simple. You may have a favorite team, but you also have rival teams you despise more than anything.
These are teams that bring you almost as much joy when they lose as your favorite team does when it wins, and you never miss an opportunity to watch their downfall, live and in high definition.
FLOPPING IS RUINING THE NBA AND LEBRON SHOULD TAKE SOME BLAME FOR THAT
That is hate watching, in a nutshell, and it extends to players as well.
One player who I assume is maybe the single most hate-watched individual in America, and, potentially, the world, is one LeBron Raymone James, and Monday night offered the perfect opportunity for his haters to come out of the woodwork to witness another hate-watching masterpiece.
It’s not often you get to see one of the greatest players of all time get swept in the conference semifinals.
I assume all of you LeBron haters tuned in for a good old-fashioned hate watch (I certainly checked in from time to time), but one man took the concept of hate watching to the next level when he showed up courtside to Game 4, decked out in jewelry and ready to see his biggest nemesis fail.
Look at the evil laugh! Diabolical! He looks like a Bond villain who just told you his master plan.
The man in question is Dillon Brooks, a forward for the Phoenix Suns, and if you’re curious as to why he showed up to watch LeBron James get swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder, let’s just say the two have some history.
LEBRON JAMES DODGES RETIREMENT QUESTIONS AFTER MAKING RECORD 22ND ALL-STAR GAME APPEARANCE
Dating all the way back to 2023, Brooks and James have sparred with each other, though it has been mostly one-sided.
Even as recently as December of this season, the two got into it in a regular-season game between the Suns and Lakers, where Brooks would end up being ejected after a skirmish with LeBron.

This beef runs deep, and LeBron has been on the winning side of things far too often, so it’s nice to see the underdog get a few in on the favorite.
Brooks is just living out the dream of every LeBron hater on the internet, showing up to what may be The King’s last game in the NBA to laugh right in his face while sucking down an overpriced drink at the venue formerly known as Staples Center.
My hat’s off to you, Mr. Brooks.
Keep up the hate!

Caitlin Clark gets technical foul after tense interaction with referee in Fever win over Sparks
Caitlin Clark was assessed with her first technical foul of the season on Wednesday night after a heated exchange with a referee.
During the Indiana Fever’s game against the Los Angeles Sparks, with 20 seconds remaining in the first half, Clark was called for an offensive foul, giving Los Angeles possession.
Clark later walked over to referee Jason Alabanza and appeared to engage in a verbal spat.

Alabanza gave Clark a technical before Indiana headed to the visiting locker room for halftime.
Still, the Fever went on to win 87-78.
Clark now has nine technicals in her WNBA career, with six in her rookie season and two in an injury-plagued 2025.
Clark appears to have had a combative dynamic with referees since the beginning of her professional career. In the Fever’s season-opening loss to the Dallas Wings, Clark appeared to suggest certain fouls were not called on her throughout the game.
“I think especially if they’re going to call it the way they’re going to call it this year, I think I honestly could have probably got a couple more calls on a few of them, but that’s okay,” Clark said to reporters after the game when asked about plays when she drove to the basket on Saturday.
Whether officials are calling enough fouls against Clark has been a point of controversy since she entered the league in 2024. Many fans complained that Clark was frequently being targeted with hard contact by opposing players and referees weren’t doing enough to protect her.
Meanwhile, Clark came one technical foul shy of taking a one-game suspension during her rookie year.
Clark herself has also made comments seemingly directed at referees in the WNBA. During the WNBA postseason in September, while Clark was injured, she said she was fined $200 for tweeting “Refs couldn’t stop us” after Indiana’s Game 2 win over Atlanta in the first round.
“Got fined $200 for this lol,” she wrote on X, adding a series of crying laughter emojis. “BENCH MOB WILL BE EVEN MORE ROWDY TOMORROW LETS GOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Clark was previously seen getting into disagreements with referees during a game against the Connecticut Sun last July.
“Are you f—-ing kidding me?” Clark appeared to say while Fever assistant Briann January dragged her back to the bench.
As officials continued to look at the replay, the ESPN broadcast showed Clark yelling over toward the officials again: “That’s just rude. Grow up. Come here, come here. Unbelievable.”
