TNT reporter asks LeBron James about death of Spurs coach's wife.

By

Gets slammed on social media , A TNT basketball reporter was slammed on social media Wednesday night after asking LeBron James about the death earlier in the day of San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich’s wife.


Allie LaForce came under fire for asking James the question immediately after his 46-point performance against the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of an opening-round NBA playoff series, which helped James' Cleveland Cavaliers tie the series at one game apiece.

James appeared to be surprised by the question, but gave a heartfelt answer, the New York Post reported.
“Obviously I’m a huge Pop fan. I love Pop,” James said, using the coach's nickname. “That’s such a tragedy and my best wishes go out to Pop and his family. I know that’s devastating news and holy … It’s just a lot. The NBA family, we all sit together and compete every night. But something like this happens, it puts everything in perspective. So I send my well wishes and my prayers up to the heaven above.”
NBA fans took to social media to slam LaForce for asking James the question.
On Reddit, the conversation turned from whether it was the appropriate time to ask the Cavs superstar the question to mysogynstic comments about LaForce's looks.
