Bitter History Repeats: LeBron James Singles Out Referees’ Prejudice In Major Fiasco vs Warriors

Tonight, history repeated itself at the Crypto.com arena! The Golden State Warriors vs LA Lakers clash reached its peak drama with a controversial call involving LeBron James. In the last quarter, with 2 minutes remaining in the game, James sunk a crucial three-pointer to cut down the lead to four points. The referee took a moment to review the bucket and called it a turnover after stating that King James had stepped out of bounds. Eventually, the Dubs went on to win the game, but James didn’t hesitate to call out the refs after the game.

During the post-game interview, one of the reporters reminded James of a similar call on his birthday this season. The refs turned a 3-pointer into a 2-pointer, stating that he stepped on the arc. In response, James said, “I didn’t believe I stepped out of the line, obviously. I knew how much space I had over there. When I shoot, I shoot on my tippy toes. I can’t have my heal down. Probably the shoe got outside the line.”

On LeBron James‘ birthday eve, the Lakers took on the Minnesota Timberwolves. The game went down the wire and the Akron Hammer had the opportunity to have a perfect gift for his birthday. With only two seconds remaining in the clock, James sunk the ball from behind the arc. Except the refs overturned it into a two-pointer after a review. And, the Lakers went on to lose the game by one point.

The Lakers’ superstar was seen pleading to the refs to overturn the call in the previous case. However, tonight he had a mellowed-down approach. He restricted himself to calling out the refs in the interview.

Meanwhile, in the previous case, apart from pleading to the refs, he also took the affairs into his own hands.

LeBron James took the case to his 159 million followers

When James tried to plead his case to the refs on his birthday, they didn’t pay heed and stuck to their decision. The superstar didn’t seem like backing down from his argument, as he took the issue to his IG followers.

He took to his IG handle and shared the picture of the controversial call with a furious caption. The caption read, “Sooooooooooooooo!!!!! WTF. Helluva Happy Bday gift to me.” The picture clearly showed that Bron’s foot was behind the line.

While the IG post didn’t create much impact apart from garnering a huge wave of reactions from fans. James seemed to have learned his mistake from the past and remained calm after tonight’s controversial call. What do you make of LeBron James’ response? Let us know in the comments.
