LOOK: Fans rip ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit on Twitter following tweet about LeBron James

When LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers the first time, fans were irate, as he left to take his talents to South Beach to win two titles with the Miami Heat.
This time around, though, fans are much less angry, as LeBron led the Cavs to the 2016 NBA title. However, don’t expect many Cleveland fans to follow King James to Los Angeles.
That’s a lesson ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit found out the hard way on Monday night after tweeting that he was a Lakers fan now.
Though it seems like an innocent and reasonable enough take, fans were quick to pounce on Herbie:
Good luck in LA @KingJames. Guess I’m a @Lakers fan now!!

While some fans defended Herbie’s tweet, many others were quick to rip the college football analyst, as you can see below:
That’s not how it’s supposed to work Kirk
