The Los Angeles Lakers have lost yet another game to the Los Angeles Clippers. NBA superstar LeBron James put up a 46-point show in Tuesday night’s game but failed to secure a win against their city rivals. While it was a disappointing game, one particular incident managed to crack up NBA fans, and it only got all the more hilarious when LeBron pulled the same stunt in the Lakers’ next game against the San Antonio Spurs. Following this repetitive blunder, NBA Twitter could not stop but make humorous assumptions regarding the 4x NBA champion.
LeBron James’ Lakers lost for the tenth straight time against the Clippers by a score of 133-115. The Clippers now hold a 35-7 record against the purple and gold franchise since 2012.

In the recent game against the San Antonio Spurs, LeBron James lost his footing in a desperate attempt to keep the ball in play. Bleacher Report shared a short clip showing James’ fall that had fans in splits. The Lakers scored 51 points against the Spurs’ 54 in the second quarter when ‘King James’ chased after a ball that was going out of the court. While trying to hurl the ball back in to keep the game going, the 18x All-Star lost his footing and crashed into a courtside fan in an awkward hugging position. The ‘Akron Hammer’ then rapidly got back into the game after asking the fan if he was fine.

Interestingly, this incident took place just a day after James fell over the front line of the courtside seats and landed on his back during the game against the Clippers. Fortunately, the game resumed with James getting back on the court seemingly unhurt.
Given the back-to-back blunder, NBA Twitter had some hilarious reactions to the unexpected occurrence.
Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:
