LeBron's mom gets in middle of the action

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James's mother, Gloria, got into the action with a little more than four minutes remaining in the first half. James went to the basket and was fouled hard by Paul Pierce. Both players stumbled into the crowd near Gloria James's seat. Gloria James shouted at Pierce as Garnett stepped in front of her to play peacemaker.

James took exception to his mother's involvement. "Sit your [expletive] down," he screamed. Said James after the game, "I used some language I shouldn't have. I'm glad it wasn't Mother's Day."

    Just another case of parents not knowing how to behave themselves at their kids' sporting events. You see it at Little League games every weekend. All parents should follow Lebron's advice and "Sit your #$@ down!"

    Again, I think she's always in the right, shes mom and she should always get busy on someone's A-- if she knows that person already don't like her son, he was trying to hurt
    him holding him that long, the man said in the video a player could get hurt, you go Gloria, I'm a mom of a 12th grade basketball player,she almost had it right, she should have belted him
    from behing and Garrett was cool I can't say anything about him grabbing her, he knows where
    she's coming from, his mom be at most of his games.

    Watch a game with Kobe going to the basket and getting fouled and a game with Lebron going to the basket and getting fouled. No comparison. Anything close to Kobe is a foul and unless they tackle Lebron with a hard foul, there is no call. The NBA officiating is still not fair and EQUAL.

    D Wade will never be as good as James (Ahmed). You might no camel racing but you don't know shiite about bball. As for Gloria, do what your son tells you.

    #8 and #9 how about paying attention to all aspects of the game........ that's like comparing someone fouling Amare and then someone fouling Shaq.......... Lebron weighs a good 25-30lbs over Bryant so if you don't want to give him a AND1 you gotta take his a$$ down..... its called a hard foul.....
    They all get different treatment from the refs because they are superstars and they earned it....... that's the name of the league... players don't like it step their game up. Jameer Nelson will never get the calls Billups will get and Eric Snow never got the calls Iverson got........
    P.S. if Kobe got to take all the extra steps Lebron does they would have to tackle him because he would just take the elbow contact and walk to to the rim for a dunk.......................... Lebron's Momma was bout it............

    The profanity Lebron use told his mom was totally out of line. “Very disrespectful” He was right in telling her to sit down. However using cuss words toward her was wrong!!! However, I do understand Gloria’s frustration. Seeing her baby get beat up this post season has to be hard…Also, we need to understand that some of these hard fouls could be season ending or even career ending fouls. That would really be terrible for the league, fans, and most importantly LeBron James and his family!!! Go Gloria!!!! Protect your Baby....

    honetly Lebron is a better ball player but D wade has a way better shot then lebron, Lebron has probably the weakest jump shot in the league, if he wasn't so fast and strong he would be nothing...and if you even try to deny that you don't know Basket ball what is he shooting......16% seriouslly he is trash when he has to shoot, lucky for him he is a monster by birth not talent...real talk
