An Ohio DJ gets the finger from – LeBron James

WHBC

This time, what happened in Vegas didn’t stay in Vegas. Canton, Ohio WHBC-FM “Mix” (94.1) afternoon drive DJ Fig was vacationing in Las Vegas when he spotted someone he recognized. Fig tried to approach basketball superstar LeBron James at a Vegas nightclub, saying to James “hey man Akron still loves you.” While Fig had his camera rolling, James replied to that comment by apparently raising his middle finger to the surprised DJ. Even more ironic is the fact DJ Fig was from a radio station in the basketball king’s hometown of Akron. Fig tells Akron’s WOIO-TV 19 Action News that earlier that evening, James was booed when he was introduced at the nightclub. Since leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for Miami as a free agent, the hometown hero James has become persona non grata in the area. At a recent baseball game in Cleveland, a man wearing a James basketball jersey was loudly booed by fans and escorted from where he was sitting. You can see Fig’s picture of James here.
