A scuffle broke out under the basket late in the second quarter of Miami's 100-77 win over the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
LeBron drove to the basket on a fast break and Celtics forward Jermaine O'Neal delivered a hard foul with a shoulder check.
The two-time MVP chucked the ball at O'Neal as he knocked him out of bounds and both players had to be separated immediately.
Dwyane Wade and Paul Pierce began shoving each other and they also had to be restrained by their teammates.
O'Neal earned a flagrant-1, while James received a technical for throwing the ball at O'Neal. The referees also gave Pierce and Wade technical fouls.
"I thought it was all theatrical, all the crap. I guess that's called toughness these days," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said after the game. "Two guys run into each other, we've got to call a flagrant foul, which I thought was a joke. And I thought the reactions by both were a joke."

Why do Lebron James have to be ghetto and to put his mom in this situation makes no sense. That was a childish comment. Let's use relevant language on here, Lebron mom showed bad behavior and I'm pretty sure you have too in your life. Lebron behavior was bad but this is a basketball game and you can't let players bully you around. I might add, as a Pistons fan, Doc Rivers wouldn't know whats tough even if he watch a Bruce Lee movie, lol.

What does "black" have to do with anything. There's a fight in every hockey game and they are "white". Ignorance has no color.

Okay, big deal. Fighting doesn't equate ghetto. I'm surprised they even get internet in the trailer parks.
O'Neal knew he was wrong and got what he deserves. If you listen to the game commentary Jeff Van Gundy put it into proper perspective.
