You should have heard the saying by now: "You come at the king, you best not miss."
During the Cavs' easy 113-91 win over the Bulls on Monday, one Chicago fan decided to shout some trash talk in LeBron James' direction. The heckler checked the typical boxes, asking James when he was going to "stop crying" and reminding him he lost Kyrie Irving in the offseason. Nothing new here.

However, James was compelled to give the fan a proper response. It was particularly savage.

"I hope that ain't your girl next to you because she's filming me — bum."
You can actually hear the moment of regret when the fan says, "Yeah... all right." Watching Jae Crowder's reaction tells the entire story.
Oh yeah, the Cavs have won 13 consecutive games, and LeBron is having the best shooting season of his career. Just another day for King James.
