Bronny James had to deal with a hater on Sunday night as he got into it with a Detroit Pistons fan sitting courtside.

Bronny James is going viral on Monday following an interaction with a Detroit Pistons fan that occurred on Sunday night during the Los Angeles Lakers' recent away game.

In the clip below, James and the fan trade insults with one another. At one point, Bronny asks the woman if she can run a mile. Subsequently, he asks her what she makes in a year. The fans sitting around the woman actually appeared to be on Bronny's side. At the end of the video, it was revealed that the woman was kicked out of her seat.

Over the last few years, the NBA has attempted to crack down on fans getting into verbal arguments with players. When these kinds of incidents happen, more often than not, the fan is, in fact, kicked out of the game.

There was even a situation between Austin Reaves and a Pistons fan, although that didn't seem to escalate in the same fashion. Instead, Reaves got in the man's face, and they hashed it out. Needless to say, Detroit is a tough crowd to play against.

Did The Lakers Beat The Pistons?

In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers came out on top against the Detroit Pistons by a score of 121-116. Despite missing Luka Doncic, the Lakers got a 43-point showing from Austin Reaves, which catapulted them to the victory.

Head coach JJ Redick did not play Bronny James during the game. Bronny has been a bench player for the Lakers this season, and while he is now on a one-way deal, his playing time is still minimal. At 22 years old, the player still has room to grow, and this doesn't mean he can't be a bigger contributor later on.
