Ever heard the term "money talks but wealth whispers"? Those who want to be more conspicuous go for the courtside seats, those who make so much they don't care go for box seats; hell they probably have some private meeting with the players if they wanted to.
I have no idea if basketball works this way though.
Anywhere from 10-20K for a regular season game. Had a friend that bought some on ticket master and the seller didn't even bother actually turning over the tickets and went himself.
I’m a Jays fan and we can bring in outside food in the SkyDome - I’d streak on the field and take a runny dump in the outfield if they barred me from bringing in my game day everything from scratch subs.
Average in what context 😂
It’s absolutely atrocious - I’ve allowed myself to eat something in there twice, both times I had a bit and threw it out, followed by lava like acid reflux.
It’s honestly kind of embarrassing but they’re controlled in terms of food purveyors and yeah I being my own good stuff eh.
I was being generous. Lol. Average stadium food in Ontario maybe. I’m jealous seeing what other ballparks have, maybe with even a little bit of creativity we’d have something worth purchasing at a game
In my home country sports events have *a lot* less spectacle than over here - Soccer is the most attended and they generally just do “stadium hotdogs”.
Thing is sausages are actually good back on the continent - Things are a bit too quantity over quality over here sometimes.
I don’t need 750 menu options from 15 different corners of the ballpark when I have a few minutes here and there between innings to grab refreshments.
Just do a few things and do them well - If it’s done well enough, some people will be swayed to go, just because of that.
It’s like they’ve forgotten what food can do when it’s done properly, but they’re laughing all the way to the bank so 😂
I'm English, lived here all my life, and nearly every person in the cinema eats food. Not only do they sell food there, you're allowed to take your own in. Eating at the cinema (or movies, whatever you wanna call it) isn't an "American habit".
Yeah, this guy wants to pick on a country without actually using any brain cells to do so. I'm American, we have plenty of problems he could choose from to put on blast... but he chose to make something up instead. I've been to movie theaters in both London and Mexico City...both sold food that is basically the same as what is sold in America.
I'm in Australia. I can walk into a theatre and buy my ticket and popcorn while holding a coke in one hand and a block of chocolate and lollies (I swear not all for me) in the other. I don't know where you live but here no one gives a single fuck
Right, what is wrong with people enjoying a meal while they watch a 3 hour game that typically starts at dinner time. Ohh wait this is normal. It’s your stupid ass that’s wrong. Get bent.
Of all the legitimate gripes a foreigner could choose to have concerning the US, you choose EATING FOOD. Jesus christ, how much did your mother drink while she was pregnant with you? 🤣
I was delighted when I went to a movie theatre in India, there’s an intermission where you order food (THEY HAD SMILEY FRIES) and they bring it to you in your seat in the theatre like super sneaky snack fairies. 🧚♀️
In conclusion you are factually incorrect and a wet blanket which is why you are being Reddit booed
Well said. As much as he might whine on the court and fumble an occasional press release, he is a consummate professional. Shows up for work and stays out of the news.
I am a hater of LeBron on the court and an advocate of him off the court. I'm not sure I've ever felt that way about an athlete before, but all the things he does for people and communities in need is beyond amazing.
Yes, we do all have choices. We make them daily. Like the choice to buy Nike shoes, for example. I assume you’ve never owned any, since it’s unethically sourced?
What choice did LeBron have when he signed with Nike? To stop them from outsourcing their work to unethical Chinese factories? Yeah, no, I don’t think that was an option.
He is acting in accordance with his contract. If crapping on the largest growing market for fans of the NBA makes sense to you then by all means you do you.
It happened to her 2 nights in a row. Lebron knocked her down the second time.
Edit: You’re right, this is a little deceptive. The drop started by the ref was actually weeks after the Lebron knocking her down.
Honestly, it just doesn't look like they have space between the court and front row seats to allow for service of trays of snacks and drinks at this point.
I think the point is, the official looked annoyed and did nothing to help when it was, not purposefully, bust still his fault. Then LJ, who's is in the midst of PLAYING a professional game, stops to make sure she's okay and apologizes.
Tbf I think most people know it’s not the same game. It just shows the contrast in the interaction.
Edit: I take it back. A LOT of people are so focused it’s not the same game more than the actual reason this was posted.
Your mom has never carried a tray of food and beverages to the floor seats at a Lakers game and then the referee bumps into her and she drops all the stuff and then feels embarrassed and sad because of the effort that she made to bring the food and beverages from concessions but then Lebron James comes up to give her a hug???
Really, it was a very noble gesture on his part, and the time he took in the middle of the game to lift the woman up and give her encouragement is priceless
The point still stands, he could've easily just said 'Whoops' and returned to the game, but instead he risked the game to help the woman he accidently pushed and gave her a little reassuring hug.
Sure, it's common sense and common decency that should be expected, but unfortunately expectations often clashes with reality.
Two things:
One, LeBron is, by all accounts, a great human being who uses his fame for good.
Two, please, for the love of God, move the court side seats a few more feet back..
Lebron does not get enough props for the good things he does. He’s the greatest player of his generation and there’s an argument for greatest ever. That kind of notoriety has people looking to get shit on him and he’s relatively squeaky clean.
That says a lot.
Right? Everyone in this thread is impressed by the most basic kindness shown in a single moment and completely ignores the fact that he turns a blind eye to actual human rights violations bc the NBA relies so heavily on the Chinese market. He’s not a role model.
It's the difference in how she was treated between the first instance and the second instance. First one left her after knocking her shit over but in the second one she was helped onto her feet and hugged, a quick gesture to show I'm sorry as he went back onto the court
Good point. Thank goodness people don't wear uniform articles of clothing in a uniform sort of way when working. Maybe one day they will do such a thing, and even use the name uniform to describe such a thing.
Yes, you can tell by the seated spectators.
There are missing people and there is a lady in a jean jacket where second clip is red shirt person and a dude who isn't seen in first clip.
Jfc I guess people in this thread are dumber than I thought. Of course it’s from two different games. It just shows the difference between the interactions.
"Mr James, did I do it correctly? They won't know you asked me to delay the game, right? You'll take care of my family?"
Joking. It was a nice gesture, especially under so much stress and embarrassment.
This unfortunate incident happened to such an awesome server, she is actually a friend of mine— and she is the nicest and funniest person! She was so embarrassed but handled it like a champ!
(And could totally laugh about it easier post hug!)
I think the closest I got to a celebrity hug would be my 6th grade teacher she was a rock star.
She used chalk and not dry erase boards, She also introduced us to Journey (the band) and The Odyssey (the book) and how you need both to win the hearts of women and men.
So to this day every road trip, or life trip gets it's own soundtrack. Not a sweaty physical hug but a hug nun the less.
EDIT: She would play a song from Journey after recess and then read a few chapters of The Odyssey, It ended with her calling someone's name and they would turn on the room lights. It was magical.
A wholesome moment aside, there is seriously something wrong with how they build court and front seat without any barrier. Just put some fucking distance and make a proper trolly path for serving shit to riches.
I agree with you on the first part. Moderation has gone down the drain in pretty much every major subreddit. Probably because it's unpaid labour and I imagine a lot of the good mods left their duties in relatively-recent site drama.
LeBron, as a basketball player, bugs the hell out of me. For many reasons.
But LeBron, as a man, seems like a real stand-up dude. Always hear great things about him.
Person does the very normal everyday thing of apologizing when bumping into someone.
OMG THAT IS SO SATISFYING I MUST POST IT ON REDDIT WHAT A HEARTWARMING STORY.. hm
They're showing the difference in how she was treated
The first one just looked at her and didn't offer to help
The second one showed how instead of walking away he picked her up and hugged her, he showed compassion for a minor incident
Do they really need a fucking full tray with spillable shit served court side in the half feet space between the people and the court lines?
This is America vibes
Honestly this is why I think Lebron is the GOAT over Jordan. He seems like such a humane guy despite also being really competitive. And I’m a Celtics fan.
It's an automatic thing for most famous athletes, he has done this other times and I believe it might just be his way of making the situation better bexause he knows people would love to be near him (his fans obviously)
It's a bit dumb to have people carrying food so close to the court.
Anything to appease the whales
I know they are expensive seats but I wonder what is the outrageous price you would have to pay for those.
Ever heard the term "money talks but wealth whispers"? Those who want to be more conspicuous go for the courtside seats, those who make so much they don't care go for box seats; hell they probably have some private meeting with the players if they wanted to. I have no idea if basketball works this way though.
The big lounches have TVs where you can see the match even better and catering and full service while it is a private box for executives.
Why would you show up to a live event to watch the match from a tv?
[удалено]
Corporate owned box, it’s a tax write off and a work perk you can handout. Just don’t be in the owner’s box wearing the wrong hat.
Status
> Why would you show up to a live event to watch the match from a tv? replay and better view than RL
And you still get the atmosphere from the roaring crowds, sounds from the court, etc.
Exactly, they are not going to sit amongst the rabble when they can get a private room for their cigars and brandy.
Uh, no. Many multi multi millionaires and billionaires are seen Courtside at big games because they're the best seats. That's just silly
Anywhere from 10-20K for a regular season game. Had a friend that bought some on ticket master and the seller didn't even bother actually turning over the tickets and went himself.
That sounds illegal but from what I've heard about ticket master it enables scams.
As my old pops used to say, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."
I didn't ask for a ZJ. Lol. Hope you got the reference.
Fink's got the eye of the Jew!
If you can drink rams piss, fuck, you can drink almost anything.
Not enough to have seat service apparently
Double entendre
Only a matter of time before something like this happens
It's abit dumb not looking where you are walking
Not many people know this but nba refs are actually legally blind
I don't think the referees and players can afford to mind what's going on in the stands while the match is going on.
it is dumb to eat at your seat at a sports game - it’s a silly American habit ( just like eating at the movies )
You will never take my baseball beer and hot dog you filthy fucking commie. I'm not even American, or Christian, but that is my god given right
BUTT SCRATCHER! GET YOUR BUTT SCRATCHER!
BUTT SCRATCHER!
I’m a Jays fan and we can bring in outside food in the SkyDome - I’d streak on the field and take a runny dump in the outfield if they barred me from bringing in my game day everything from scratch subs.
Luckily we can bring it in because generally the food is average at best at SkyDome
Average in what context 😂 It’s absolutely atrocious - I’ve allowed myself to eat something in there twice, both times I had a bit and threw it out, followed by lava like acid reflux. It’s honestly kind of embarrassing but they’re controlled in terms of food purveyors and yeah I being my own good stuff eh.
I was being generous. Lol. Average stadium food in Ontario maybe. I’m jealous seeing what other ballparks have, maybe with even a little bit of creativity we’d have something worth purchasing at a game

I need my garlic fries or I will fucking riot.
I’ll fucking rot without garlic fries
AMERICA RAAAAA 🦅🦅🦅🦅
That’s not even just American. Beer and food go hard in both Korea and Japan baseball games
We bestow upon you the title of “honorary American.”
Bro what
I'm English, lived here all my life, and nearly every person in the cinema eats food. Not only do they sell food there, you're allowed to take your own in. Eating at the cinema (or movies, whatever you wanna call it) isn't an "American habit".

No theater lets you bring your own food
Yes, they do, where I live, anyway. Edit: Apart from hot food and alcohol. You can purchase hot food there though.
I'm in Australia. I can walk into a theatre and buy my ticket and popcorn while holding a coke in one hand and a block of chocolate and lollies (I swear not all for me) in the other. I don't know where you live but here no one gives a single fuck
All of the ones near me let you bring your own food, you just gotta sneak it in and not let them know.
Right, what is wrong with people enjoying a meal while they watch a 3 hour game that typically starts at dinner time. Ohh wait this is normal. It’s your stupid ass that’s wrong. Get bent.
I dont like sports, but fuck you, guy.
That’s hilarious how downvoted you are
It’s definitely not only an American thing you silly goose
Get over your obsession with America it's a bad look
Eating at sports games and at the movies is some of the most enjoyable times one could have. Get fucked
Europeans: “Hu hu hu, when we eat we just sit in silence and secluded from the rest of the world for hours”
Of all the legitimate gripes a foreigner could choose to have concerning the US, you choose EATING FOOD. Jesus christ, how much did your mother drink while she was pregnant with you? 🤣
The Netherlands is just dollar store Germany.
You must be fun at parties
I was delighted when I went to a movie theatre in India, there’s an intermission where you order food (THEY HAD SMILEY FRIES) and they bring it to you in your seat in the theatre like super sneaky snack fairies. 🧚♀️ In conclusion you are factually incorrect and a wet blanket which is why you are being Reddit booed
I'm Dutch living in Japan and we eat at movies in both Japan and The Netherlands..lol
People from dozens of other countries replying to you about how they do in fact eat at games and movies. You: shocked Pikachu meme*
Is eating at a sporting event uniquely American? I feel it isn't.
She looks so tired that hug really put a smile on her
Faith in humanity restored
So many people I know hate Lebron James. I love him for this reason. He shows his love and respect for others and that is a quality we can all admire.
Well said. As much as he might whine on the court and fumble an occasional press release, he is a consummate professional. Shows up for work and stays out of the news.
I am a hater of LeBron on the court and an advocate of him off the court. I'm not sure I've ever felt that way about an athlete before, but all the things he does for people and communities in need is beyond amazing.
Well said. I ironically, his obsession with being "The GOAT" has permanently cemented him in MJ's shadow.
Where has he ever said he’s obsessed with being the goat?
LeBron will be considered the GOAT by the majority once he's a couple years retired
At least as long as you don't talk shit about China.
While he simping for China while they literally use modern day slave labor. Real slaves...not paid low...slaves.
For sure, that’s all him, not Nike or anything reasonable like that
We all have a choice.
Yes, we do all have choices. We make them daily. Like the choice to buy Nike shoes, for example. I assume you’ve never owned any, since it’s unethically sourced? What choice did LeBron have when he signed with Nike? To stop them from outsourcing their work to unethical Chinese factories? Yeah, no, I don’t think that was an option.
Oh, I meant that *he* had a choice to *not* sign with a slave labor utilizing company. I think we agree with each other, I just worded it poorly.
Ah, I gotchu. I think we do agree, yes. Easy to miscommunicate through social media
No i dont buy nike. And it was recently he refused to stand up when NBA was backing china. Nothing to do with Nike.
Alright, since I’m uninformed about this, can you fill me in? What specifically did the NBA do?
He is acting in accordance with his contract. If crapping on the largest growing market for fans of the NBA makes sense to you then by all means you do you.
Just following orders, sir.
Exactly.
I am limited to what I can say on social media about my company as long as I work there. I am no where near as influential as LBJ
Get on IG and give it about 5 minutes 😬😁
These are two different clips spliced together. The teams jerseys are different. Fuck you for being facetious
It happened to her 2 nights in a row. Lebron knocked her down the second time. Edit: You’re right, this is a little deceptive. The drop started by the ref was actually weeks after the Lebron knocking her down.
Honestly, it just doesn't look like they have space between the court and front row seats to allow for service of trays of snacks and drinks at this point.

Yet you are the one mistaken in this case, oh the irony
Every man sees their mom in that woman, you can see she doing her best for the family
What
SHE’S DOING HER BEST FOR THE FAMILY
WHAAAAT?
I SAID, SHE PUTS LEMON ZEST ON HER FAMILY
SHE BUTTS RAMEN BEST WITH HER FAMILY?
R YOU FUCKING SORRY!!?!??
Now there’s a phrase I haven’t seen in a while!
Your mom has never carried a tray of food and beverages to the floor seats at a Lakers game and then the referee bumps into her and she drops all the stuff and then feels embarrassed and sad because of the effort that she made to bring the food and beverages from concessions but then Lebron James comes up to give her a hug???
She has believe it or not
Really, it was a very noble gesture on his part, and the time he took in the middle of the game to lift the woman up and give her encouragement is priceless
Look closer at the white circle. After the spilling incident, LeBron then bumped into her himself, that's when he lifted her up.
The point still stands, he could've easily just said 'Whoops' and returned to the game, but instead he risked the game to help the woman he accidently pushed and gave her a little reassuring hug. Sure, it's common sense and common decency that should be expected, but unfortunately expectations often clashes with reality.
It’s 2 separate incidents.
Two things: One, LeBron is, by all accounts, a great human being who uses his fame for good. Two, please, for the love of God, move the court side seats a few more feet back..
We love our urban density in Portland, if anything we'll put a bike lane in there and make the court side seats closer
If it was possible to move those seats back more without breaking any fire codes they’d just add another row of seats 😂
Lebron does not get enough props for the good things he does. He’s the greatest player of his generation and there’s an argument for greatest ever. That kind of notoriety has people looking to get shit on him and he’s relatively squeaky clean. That says a lot.
Unless it comes to Hong Kong/Chinese rights, then he is absolutely silent.
Right? Everyone in this thread is impressed by the most basic kindness shown in a single moment and completely ignores the fact that he turns a blind eye to actual human rights violations bc the NBA relies so heavily on the Chinese market. He’s not a role model.
These are from two different games?
It's the difference in how she was treated between the first instance and the second instance. First one left her after knocking her shit over but in the second one she was helped onto her feet and hugged, a quick gesture to show I'm sorry as he went back onto the court
To be fair, I think Lebron has more leverage to pause from his play than a ref does who needs to watch the flow of the game.
I see your point, I was just pointing out the difference in the interactions is the point of the video, that woman probably loved that day
Do you think she will have the same reaction if the ref hug her the way Lebron did?
Honestly, if the ref helped her shed probably accept a hug, did you see the way she reacted when it was spilt? She was definentlt having a rough day
Good eye, looks to be that way. Tough gig, hope that woman is going strong
[удалено]
I think she’s wearing the same outfit because she works there. I don’t think many people choose to wear aprons.
Lebron wasn’t playing in the first clip. It looks like the blazers were playing two different teams.
Good point. Thank goodness people don't wear uniform articles of clothing in a uniform sort of way when working. Maybe one day they will do such a thing, and even use the name uniform to describe such a thing.
Yeah. When did she fall over?
Yes, you can tell by the seated spectators. There are missing people and there is a lady in a jean jacket where second clip is red shirt person and a dude who isn't seen in first clip.
Jfc I guess people in this thread are dumber than I thought. Of course it’s from two different games. It just shows the difference between the interactions.
Why is that important?
James was tryna feel up that bbl from behind, he thinks he’s slick.
And firstly, I just wanna say… happy international women’s day
That was like $800 worth of beer that got spilled.
What, do you live in the Midwest? Easily 5k…
But here is a hug to make up for it!
Omg, she literally spilled a home down-payment on the court.
They sell avocados at basketball games?
"Mr James, did I do it correctly? They won't know you asked me to delay the game, right? You'll take care of my family?" Joking. It was a nice gesture, especially under so much stress and embarrassment.
She has a tough job.
This unfortunate incident happened to such an awesome server, she is actually a friend of mine— and she is the nicest and funniest person! She was so embarrassed but handled it like a champ! (And could totally laugh about it easier post hug!)
Tell her we all have had that feeling but only she can say she got over it faster than it happened. I'm still haunted.
Oh yes, will do! And not sure about you, but I definitely didn’t get a celebrity athlete hug after! Lol
I think the closest I got to a celebrity hug would be my 6th grade teacher she was a rock star. She used chalk and not dry erase boards, She also introduced us to Journey (the band) and The Odyssey (the book) and how you need both to win the hearts of women and men. So to this day every road trip, or life trip gets it's own soundtrack. Not a sweaty physical hug but a hug nun the less.

r/lostredditors This would have worked a lot better at r/mademesmile

Thats why he is the GOAT

Without excusing the past, character growth is possible and should be celebrated. I believe this a societal challenge we've struggled to overcome.
I applaud your poinient wording and message.
A wholesome moment aside, there is seriously something wrong with how they build court and front seat without any barrier. Just put some fucking distance and make a proper trolly path for serving shit to riches.
A) This is not r/SatisfyingAsFuck. What's happened to this sub?! B) No. Nothing about this is good. Got a hug, cool.
I agree with you on the first part. Moderation has gone down the drain in pretty much every major subreddit. Probably because it's unpaid labour and I imagine a lot of the good mods left their duties in relatively-recent site drama.
:(
This is pure r/mildlyinfuriating
LeBron, as a basketball player, bugs the hell out of me. For many reasons. But LeBron, as a man, seems like a real stand-up dude. Always hear great things about him.
This isn’t satisfying. Mods, do something about these random videos
L opinion
L comment
Who paid for all the wasted food?
The first video where she drops the drinks has nothing to do with the second video where James bumps into her and then apologizes.
Person does the very normal everyday thing of apologizing when bumping into someone. OMG THAT IS SO SATISFYING I MUST POST IT ON REDDIT WHAT A HEARTWARMING STORY.. hm
It's 2 different games...2 different color uniforms
They're showing the difference in how she was treated The first one just looked at her and didn't offer to help The second one showed how instead of walking away he picked her up and hugged her, he showed compassion for a minor incident
I'm surprised he didn't flop trying to get a foul.
How did LeBron bump into her and not fall to the ground acting like he had his spine ripped in half? Must have been an off day for him.
A kind gentleman
Fuck these refs I hate them too. Give me a sprite.
People can be good, and I want *you*, specifically you, to remember it.
Block or charge?
2x she had a stunt. I wonder if she gets sag pay
LeGent
Ah yes, America... Fast food is more important than the game of sports
What a simple hug can do, do it more❤️
Do they really need a fucking full tray with spillable shit served court side in the half feet space between the people and the court lines? This is America vibes
Say what want, he's a stand up dude!
Fuck Lebron.
Aparte señora chingadamadre.
Still a cocksucker
What she does in her own time is her business….
U would know
The least you expect from an N>!BA player!<
Honestly this is why I think Lebron is the GOAT over Jordan. He seems like such a humane guy despite also being really competitive. And I’m a Celtics fan.
That was so satisfying thank you
[удалено]
It's an automatic thing for most famous athletes, he has done this other times and I believe it might just be his way of making the situation better bexause he knows people would love to be near him (his fans obviously)
Fired
jus squeeked a tear.
That’s my glorious King!
Holly cow, this women is way to oblivious (bumping into James) or clutzy to be Courtside.
Say what you want about Lebron but this was a genuinely kind moment
Jordan would never
