And take a look around, because the videos from Ms. ![]() They might have had a couple drinks, maybe." And also added that he thought the woman was there with her father but it turned out to be her husband. Afterward James said, "I'm happy fans are back in the building. The exchange in real time looked odd, but the videos from the lady (I guess) and other fans were wild. In some ways, with limited crowds and much less background noise than normal, I'm surprised this has not happened more in NBA and even in college games.
