Mother's Day was Sunday, so what better way for LeBron James to follow it up then scream "Sit your ass down!" to his mama last night on national television.
After a Celtic player fouled King James into the courtside seats where his mother was sitting, Mama James got a little hot. Good thing her little boy was there to keep her in check.
BTW, Lebron's team won.

1. sit your ass down [??] WTF!!!?? this is what happens when there isn't a HEAD/man IN THE FAMILY and the boy is supposed to play daddy and everything! he knows he's feeding her and she is supposed to take it [?] wow! i have no words - these single mothers are raising these boys this way [all ways, including feminine] so, that's just her skills [or lack of] on display - i'm surprised because usually black mamas don't play that - he would have caught a good foot sandwich if he was my no good trifling son talking to me like that!

2. I guess he has forgotten that she brought him into this world and she can take him out of this world!

3. This kid has zero class and his momma should smack his face into last week for talking to her that way.
Lebron, you are a disgrace to every mother on this planet... especially your own.

6. I can understand it, she is being over protective and probably has been interfering his whole life. He is probably under an amazing amount of stress to be better than everyone else. Her jumping up and down is a distraction and only adding to the pressure. Have been there...mind u, not at earning what he is making lol.

9. There is no audio whatsoever of what LeBron "allegedly" said. No proof, only a website assuming they can read lips on a grainy video. What a crock.

10. Changed my opinion of him completely! Shame on him for talking to his mother that way at all, much less screaming it to her in front of thousands!

Posted at 10:57AM on May 13th 2008 by SOOO glad to have a mama!!
13. The game was on last night not on mother's day when this happened. James got fouled by Pierce which was a little over the top. His mother jumped up like she was about to streetfight with Pierce and Garnett. So he told her to sit her azz down because she was overblowing it and could have gotten kicked out the arena, James would have had to answer to Stern about that, and then there would be more bans in the NBA. So before you start talking about him being a bad boy for saying that watch the game.

14. Oh my God people!!!!!!!! It' so hard to tell what exactly he said!!! The video is horrible!! I'm not a huge James fan, but from what I've heard about his mother, she is a bit of a big mouth. My kids play sports and some parents can be really outrageous. I don't blame him for telling her to sit down. She needs to let him do his job. He's a grown man!!!!!!!

15. I would beat the hell out of him after the game!!!
Damn it was mother's day.. I don't care if you are allowing me to live in the lap of luxury; don't you forget that I brought you into this world and I can take you out...
Just like when I was taller than my momma she told me that she could still kick my ass!!!
