LeBron gets into heated exchange with heckler boasting about his college stats

When it rains, it pours - even for the best player in the game.

Fresh off one of the worst playoff outings of his remarkable career, LeBron James dealt with some nonsense from a random fool.

As the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar headed to the postgame presser following his club's 111-108 Game 3 loss, a fan heckled him in the hallway. James asked the man what he's accomplished.

"I played at Hiram College," the heckler replied before spewing his college stats and being ushered out of Quicken Loans Arena.

It's the last thing James needed to hear after his Cavs blew a 21-point lead in the third quarter to lose at home to the Boston Celtics.

Individually, the 32-year-old four-time MVP submitted a stinker. He failed to score in the final frame Saturday and finished with 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting from the field and 0-4 from long range.

The performance represents a stain on an otherwise outstanding run that saw him score 30-plus in eight straight games and lead his club to a 10-0 start this postseason.
