The Los Angeles Lakers played the Boston Celtics on Saturday night, with the result being quite controversial. LeBron James went to the basket on a final drive to win the game but was hacked by Jayson Tatum. The referees didn't call the foul that would have allowed LBJ to win the game, and it caused a massive uproar. 

The officials and the NBA both knew they got the call wrong, too, the official account for the referees even apologized for it. And a lot of it was triggered by the reaction from LeBron James, who simply couldn't believe that he hadn't earned the free throws. LeBron's over-the-top reaction led to some trolling from Celtics fans, too, including Al Horford's sister Anna, who tweeted saying he should get an Oscar for how he behaved. And this tweet led to some bad reactions from some Lakers fans.

Anna Horford Was Sent Vile Messages And Threats For Making A Joke About LeBron James

Fans can get emotional about their favorite teams and players, but this is never a good reason to disrespect anyone. Wishing them and their family harm is something that only the lowest of the low will do, but it's unfortunately common in sports. The anonymity that the internet allows can beget some vile abuse, and Anna Horford posted some of the disgusting tweets she received in the aftermath of her tweet. 

"I tweeted & deleted “And the Oscar goes to” about Lebron’s reaction & Lakers fans lost their damn minds. Like, that was one of my mildest tweets ever…"

"This sh*t is unacceptable."

The tweets are too nasty to repeat and are not something anyone should look at, let alone send to a personality. It is one thing to feel upset about someone making fun of your favorite player, another to send them messages wishing them death and suggesting that it will happen just for their sports loyalties. 

What makes it even harder to understand is that this is the last thing LeBron James himself would accept. He has been vocal about fans who cross their limits, and he is not above confronting them if that happens. Ultimately, the King is all about being kind and respectful, and the Lakers as a franchise also don't deserve to have their name sullied thanks to fans like these. Hopefully, these people will be reported, found, and banned from social media as well as stadiums.
