LeBron's 'suck it up!' trash-talker is actually a self-made Oklahoman billionaire
Owing to his superstar status and his penchant for protesting foul calls, LeBron James has a tendency to attract critics sitting courtside and from afar.
You may recall the fan at the Cavaliers-Warriors Christmas game who gestured "crybaby" at James and then recoiled like a turtle snapping back into its shell when he looked in her direction.
At Sunday's Thunder-Cavs game in Oklahoma City, James did not have the same effect on the fan sitting courtside who shouted "Just suck it up, LeBron!" when he lobbied against a foul call against him. In case you missed it:
As it turns out, that woman was identified by the Washington Post and 5News as 78-year-old Oklahoman Judy Love, ranked No. 7 on Forbes' list of self-made women with an estimated net worth of $2.4 billion (with a B). Back in 1964, she and her husband Tom took their $5,000 savings to lease space in Oklahoma City for a gas station, launching what eventually became the truck stop and convenience store empire Love's Travel Stops & Country Store.
The Cavaliers won the game handily, 115-92, as James registered 25 points and 11 assists. He later signaled his appreciation for the remark.
We're guessing that Judy Love, who kept the company's books and ran it with her husband until 1975, is not the type of person who tolerates complaining.
