LeBron James is calling for more player protection in the NBA.

After Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook was doused with popcorn by a Sixers fan attending Game 2 in Philadelphia on Wednesday night, James took to Twitter to sound off about the situation.

“By the way WE AS THE PLAYERS wanna see who threw that popcorn on Russ while he was leaving the game tonight with a injury!! There’s cameras all over arenas so there’s no excuse! Cause if the [shoe] was on the other [foot],” the Lakers star tweeted, with the hashtag “ProtectOurPlayers.”

I think the popcorn “perp” might have been Asian. Bronny had better get on the ChineseChatApp and apologize, in mandarin for his slight.

It's necessary to increase the security force during the games so we can defund them.

Lebron has obviously never played football in Veterans Stadium. Popcorn would have been the least of his worry.

Why do they need any security at all? Defund the security.

Popcorn? Oh the humanity. And Westbrook had a childish overreaction. Now Lebron wants protection! DEFUND THE POLICE but not NBA player protection.

In honesty, people are crazy.
Baseball has a stadium with a large wall, players are more separated. Football has the same thing, with more separation and security. Hockey has the plexiglass separation. Basketball has seats right next to the court and players pretty much.
So Le Bro, the moron, may have a point here. People are idiots. Maybe they need to put a physical barrier up like hockey. That would help.
