LeBron James got a rough welcome in his debut game as a Philadelphia 76er when he took to the court against the New York Knicks.

James took to the floor at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday evening as the road team for the Knicks' banner-raising opener.

But the occasion grew testy as James was seen shouting back at fans near the floor of the Garden multiple times.

At one point in the second quarter, he was seen saying multiple words to baseline fans during a live play.

During another instance at the free throw line, James was seen shouting over to one fan where he could be seen cursing them out.

'You don't know what the f*** you talkin about,' James appeared to say. 'I'm not from the West Coast. I'm from Ohio, baby. Ay, f*** you talkin about.'

James joined the Sixers over the summer after leaving the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency.
