LeBron James shocks fans with a burst of anger at a match official.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis

LeBron James last night during the 150-145 Los Angeles Lakers home against the visiting Indians Pacers displayed a side of him rarely seen. He was caught having an intense outburst with one of the game officials on video, a video that’s now trending all over social media.

The Los Angeles Lakers, for the third game in a row, continued their March toward a spot in the postseason. And with James having a great game, even sharing a moment with his daughter, Zhuri, and wife, Savannah, it was strange to see the superstar switch emotions.

The viral moment occurred while the Lakers were leading 142-136 in the fourth quarter, and he was seen seriously dishing out his fury to the official. However, details of what transpired aren’t precise yet as there’s no official communication on the matter, but you can bet social media to fuel the issue with speculations.

Although the four-time MVP is known to control his temper in cases and situations like this, seeing him lose his cool at a match official reignited the debate about the NBA’s bias toward James. However, he ended the game with 26 points, five rebounds, and 10 assists in another impressive outing by the evergreen veteran.
