The LAPD is investigating vandalism at LeBron James’ home as a hate crime. Someone spray painted “ni–er” on the gate leading to James $20.9 million Brentwood, Calif. mansion on Tuesday.
Police are reviewing video surveillance footage from neighboring homes to identify the vandals. James was not home at the time of the incident, according to the NY Daily News.
“Oh, it’s a hate crime. It’s a person who has a problem with him, obviously, ” a source at LAPD’s West LA division told The News. “It’s an active case right now and detectives are there, going over the scene, looking for any video.”
James and his Cleveland Cavaliers face the Golden State Warriors in game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday at Oakland’s Oracle Arena.
James has been to the NBA Finals so often that he reportedly bought the 9,440 square-foot, 6 bedroom mansion to stay when he’s defending his title.
A neighbor who lives 3 doors down from James was appalled by the “horrific” vandalism.
“I’m embarrassed that this would even go on in this country. At this particular time though, I suppose I’m not surprised, because there is an increase in incivility and hatred of others who are different or not the same,” said Mary Kay Wulf.
Another neighbor told The News that James, who is 6-foot-8, purchased the home from a very tall neighbor. She said the house is custom made for very tall people.
Twitter.com users reacted to the news:
Good reminder: even LeBron James, the most notbable black athlete in the world, ain't escaping racism. This is systemic not a few bad eggs.

I love the way Labron’s wife ( to lazy to look her name up, no disrespect tho ) keeps a low profile.
She was with him in Cleveland at the World Series.. James and his teammates were having a blast.. you could tell she hated baseball and was MISERABLE being there! But I appreciate her going to the game with him regardless. I hope they catch the idiot that messed up his gate though.
Clown move around and stop asking dumb questions.

I like her.. comes across as real down to earth, unlike a lot of these thotties.. shii I like the whole family (even his momma turned down a bit)
I think a stupid person would write “Bron SUCKS” or something else like that.. a random black person would be like “n*iggah you BLEW IT” or something.. for a person to take the time out of their day to bypass security and write “n*gga??” Im inclined to think they are using the word as a slur.. just racist.
You mean the inferior feeling racist that defaced this mans property!
Yep, there you go
Hi love!
Hi Lovebug!
I wish racists realized how small minded they are when they do things like this. How can they be superior as they think when they do such idiotic things? Proof is in the pudding.
my old house was over 6k feet and 6 bed 5. bath with basketball court in back Hubby paid almost 500k and this is 20 mil Geesh, what do a 250k house looks like a box.
I think the vandal is a neighbor’s kid.
Update******* Tiger Woods.***** y’all the whole story CHANGED so not they saying they didn’t smell alcohol he didn’t refuse the breathalyzer in fact he blew .000 he was not driving erratically and pulled over because he was SLEEP at the wheel with two flat tires!!!! Can somebody explain how this entire story has change in 72 hours WTF
I’m sure it was one his friends showing some love. After all, the n-word is a term of endearment, right? ?
Can you explain to me why do you care about a mixed black male who doesn’t give a shit about black women just curious ?
We’ve come far with ways to go…..SHAMEFUL hope he takes it out on those Warriors tonight.
why do you make me laugh today? Again.
He was found to be black.
They could call me a Rich-N any day!
It’s sad his kids have to hear about it though.
They have surveillance they’ll be finding out very soon who did it.
I can’t explain the change but this is footage of Tiger before he was pulled over: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3b456baade219bdfc329b440cd8cfe480a163a5e37d554525e14c163e8671f61.gif
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!!
It’s an act of insecurity. A strong black presence creates fear and a feeling of uneasiness.
A racist Golden State Warrior fan did this. Smh
LeBron James has a really nice family
I don’t mean to be disrespectful but are you copy/paste this?
Nope!!! Fingers moving all day…. LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!
??
(Good idea tho…)
He put up a new gate that made it easier to vandalize. Here is the old gate.

Where’s Zuri?
Waldo?
Watch this be some underage bonehead whose parents will now incur the cost of getting rid of that slur…
Me too, I think she is very pretty and laid back.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was an adult bonehead that did this. I’ve had people write towel head on my car when I’m not Arab. Luckily I moved from that area.
??? I was expecting some real footage.
No surprise here. Racist are soooo predictable.
True.. they’re boneheads too.
???
Me too!!!
Doesn’t matter the “Status. Tons of folk will always consider you A “Nigger.?? As “Chris Rock says If someone gave them the choice 2 be black & Rich. They would say “Na, I’m gonna rock being white N this trailer park till the wheels fall off???
Oh well, It’s the “American Way?
Just horrible and so true. OAN, I laughed at the comment about tall people.
And I hope it wasn’t a person of color that did this.
Keep ya head up big homie, just remember you the chosen one and they slip not shyt that cowards do
???
Yep…a 2 room 1 bath bungalow about 1100 sq ft ?
Thx for seeibg the positivurt in all this..sry ling nails and i aint in the mood lol?
Lebron needs better security .. He can afford it !!!!!
LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!
you the $hit,
Lmao
I didn’t say I cared I just was wondering how the story changed all of a sudden!! As in did he pay someone off was it a set up
Clearly you didn’t read or see melt comments in the actual thread about him?
So he lives in LA and plays for Cleveland – interesting?
Some of the worst are in California….
It was khloe k she mad he told her to stay away from them and Tristan lol
He prolly told Becky to roll out and she wrote it lol. He stay in Ohio but that’s the kangz west side estate. Lol.
Now that’s some sho nuff incriminating evidence there.
Where was his security cameras?? He needs to up his protection.
Yw???
Are u serious
We have some of the worst racist on the west coast, and a lot of neo-nazi groups. I’m not surprised. SMH!
Los Angeles is being invaded by White Trash from the East Coast who are narrow minded and they are shocked Black People out here is doing the dam thing.
Yeah, but I bet they wouldn’t roll up to the East Bay, specifically Oakland, Richmond, East Side San Jose, Hunter’s Point, Bay Point in SF, Compton or Long Beach in SoCal with that racist sht. They wouldn’t make it in or out alive.
Last weekend I picked someone up at the Sacramento Amtrak station when two neo Nazi’s got off a bus, smiling, laughing, both were tatted up with Swastika, dressed in orange pants, white tee shirts, buzz cuts, both carrying identical clear plastic bags with identical paperwork inside. You could visibly tell they were fresh out the penitentiary. I just know they were headed to one of those Klan Land small towns in and around Sac.
I have an idea on how to stop graffiti and vandalism and it goes like this. Once you have been caught vandalizing or writing graffiti on someone else’s property, you must vandalize your “OWN” home with graffiti or whatever you used to vandalize someone else’s property. If you want to represent your hood or gang, then there is no better way to do it then with your own house. So, if you put your gang sign on someones business, then by law your entire home should be spray painted with your gang symbols. Now everyone knows where to find you and you can truly represent your hood or your gang. If you vandalize someone else’s property, same thing. If you the parents pay rent, the land lord is allowed to put you and your family in the street, that you represent so hard, to prevent having his or her property vandalized due to some kid’s ignorance. That’s right, put OUT!!! At the end of the day, you get back everything you put out. Being homeless would be a b&tch and parents would make sure their kids were never near an aresol can again. And after the kid realizes what he put his family through, I’m sure he or she wouldn’t want to do it again. It would be a painful, but powerful lesson on respecting other people’s property.
He has multiple homes. He works in Hollywood, LA during the off season.
The chosen one ?
That old gate is dreadful. No privacy. He has more than enough to have armed guard and 5 dozens of cameras.
isnt he in a gated community ?? cameras ??
Good morning all.. Happy Friday Eve!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/76d3860f25afc8a2c9206b079f590960e946d453d6381b6392b395bda9c6e6bf.gif
my respect for savvy and him as a couple grow each year. to think that they started out so young, are still together, scandal free, and she keeps it 100 at all times.
I agree, but I think adults did this.
You mean Mid West then. East Coast is used to it or should be.
I hate this happened to this beautiful family. May God send His angels to protect them.
Let’s also pray for August Alsina. May the Good Lord which is able to heal all diseases touch his body from head to toes, in the mighty name of Jesus.
I agree. Like in Louisiana, they make sex offenders post signs on their yard notifying residents that live in their area that they are an offender. I think that’s fair, and a fair warning to the hard working citizens that live in their surroundings, that they have a piece of shyt living amongst them.
Damn. I hate that they did this to LeBron James and his family..they couldn’t take that BS over to Michael Jordan cooning ass house?
LMAO
I’m glad they didn’t get past the gate….WOW a $20 million second home…must be nice. The groundskeepers can paint over it
What’s wrong with August??
Good Morning Lady!
I was like why they checking the neighbors cameras…doesn’t he have his own?? IJS with a mansion of that size and his celebrity status he should have his own cameras, especially at the gate
Naw don’t blame the Mid West lol they love Lebron …those are ignorant Cali natives mad that Ni66a in their neighborhood….the ignorance is everywhere
LMAO
He has a liver disease. My heart goes out to him.
Cali living…it all depends on the state and area you live in…the cost of living is outrageous in Cali
Awww poor thing!! A while back he was having issues with his sight…can he catch a break gesh!!
I will agree ignorance is everywhere.
Maybe for a 100,000k home, but it will be sandblasted and restored to it’s original look.
Yeah, I read his interview with Jada awhile back and did more research and he has genetic disorder. Hoping for the best for him. Maybe he can get a transplant.
Mike was probably the one that did it.
They will hear about it regardless…better now than later. Then they will be that 1% of black folk I don’t get talmbout they never experienced racism so racism don’t exist! I aint got time today!
hahahaha!
LMFAO
I dont understand what that has to do with anything. If you hate everything other than black then you are part of the problem.
Or just a grown ass neighbour.
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, does the Income for regular people matches the cost of living.
They need to catch this fool, make him help to sandblast the gate, do community service and then put him in the pokey with Bubba and em…
*faints*
No word of support from the LGTBQ community. Silent again and it is not surprising.
I know that kind but I think Lebron isn’t ashamed of his blackness and will teach his kids to do the same.
Sick.
lolol. Boom!
I agree. You may be right, but they lay their heads under a roof somewhere. And once they either have to vandalize and damage their own homes or become homeless for their actions, they would learn their lesson. If the law was in effect, they wouldn’t have even bothered to mess with this man’s home because they would have been too worried about losing or damaging their own. They did it because they knew they could get away with it. If they had to come home every night for a year and look at their own house looking like a crack heads den, or being evicted, they would have just kept driving past that man’s house.
Kid or not, he/ she is racist if the only thing they can think to write is a slur.
Where does his kids go to school?
Oh please.
I am gay and trust me some white gays are more racist than straight whites.
Homer is feeling zero pain.
Ugh ? trash did this shame this is still happening in 2017
Shame.
Is that an old pic or did the wife gain weight?
Sure are. I have worked with them & I tell people this and have been for years & some Blacks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,chile.
I pretty sure in the off season the kids are out of school for the summer.
hood 101 … the person that would spell it with a -ga- would shoot you before he would spray paint it and are also more likely to say it and not spray it .. so i’m pretty sure it was an – er- and not a -ga- … but that just MY theory
Where do they go to school?
Ikr
*falls beside you*
The income increases as far as minimum wage but not really
??MJ has a higher probability of doing this shit to LeBron than a racist white man?
Let’s Get It Warriors !!!……#Dub Nation Baby !!!!!………
