LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers cruised to an easy victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night, but that didn’t keep one fan from scolding the four-time MVP.

In the second quarter of Sunday’s game, when the Lakers were up just nine points, James recorded his third foul of the game.

While he headed to the bench as a result, James expressed his frustration, only to be warned by an elderly fan in the stands to watch his mouth.

It’s fairly hilarious to watch James, one of the biggest stars the NBA has ever seen, to be humbled by a fan in such a direct way. It is unclear if James caught wind of the maternal discipline, but the other fans sitting around the woman sure did.

Ultimately, James’ foul trouble proved to be of little circumstance. The Lakers cruised to an easy win over the Wolves, 142-125.

James finished the game with 32 points, 13 assists and four rebounds in a dominant display to help the Lakers get their 21st win of the season.
