“Stop fouling like a motherf**ker" - Alleged leaked audio shows vexed LeBron James fuming at Grizzlies & referees over foul calls
Before LeBron James and the LA Lakers took on the LA Clippers on Sunday, they went head-to-head against the Memphis Grizzlies. James did his best, but the Lakers suffered a 127-113 loss against the Grizzlies. During the game, the four-time MVP had trouble with the defense and had something to say against his opponent.
Despite James' 32-point performance and Anthony Davis' 31-point eruption, the Grizzlies still came on top 127-113. The teamwork of Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart combined for 105 points.
The physicality proved to be a tough task for the Lakers. During one play, Jackson contested one of James' shot attempts, and the Lakers star wasn't happy with how he was defended. He quickly complained to the officials.
"Y'all need to stop fouling like a motherf*****," James complained.
James' competitiveness can be seen as he also complained to one referee when he was waiting for the ball to shoot his free throws. The official was talking to Desmond Bane, and the Lakers forward was impatiently waiting for the ball.
"Sean, give me the d*** ball," James said.
The referee responded that Bane had questions about a few calls before the free throw sequence.
