LeBron doused by a 'classless' fan

After single-handedly destroying the Celtics, James suffers an indignity while leaving the court.



Nope! No, you totally should not do that. At all!

Doing that is dumb, classless and ridiculous, and — fairly or unfairly — manages to take at least some of the shine off very cool crowd moments like this one, where Boston Celtics fans who stuck out the final minutes of a 19-point blowout remained in full through game's end to properly send their team off to Game 7:

See? That is a cool way to do your fan business. Friends helping friends, banding together to fight through how upset you are at having watched the Celtics catch a furious whipping, and choosing to express boosterism in a positive way rather than by throwing beer on the man who just legendarily sonned your whole crew.

Especially considering, as Friend of BDL @netw3rk noted Thursday night, literally that exact thing once started a riot at a basketball game, and has started roughly 56 million smaller-scale melees as drinking establishments throughout these United States over the years. It is just a bad idea, all the way around, all the time.

As always, as ever, it is important to remember not to be a creep. Let's carry that lesson into our weekends, OK?
