The Lakers star LeBron James has been in the game for quite some time now and as time has passed he has become more tolerant towards the officiating in the league. However, sometimes even Bron loses his cool.

Recently, he lost his cool and got himself involved in a heated confrontation with the referees. This incident happened in the Lakers vs Pacers match where Bron was faced with an officiating that did not sit right with him.

LeBron James’ heated referee encounter captured

The Lakers star LeBron James was seen having a heated encounter with a referee in his match against the Indiana Pacers. King James is usually calm and doesn’t argue with the officials much but this time he showed a different side of himself to the world. The video of the incident is going viral on social media and fans from all over the world are reacting to it.

In the video, Bron was seen getting very angry while explaining something to an official. The NBA official was wearing the number 50 shirt and was listening to Bron yelling at him. The Lakers star was upset at some incident that happened in the game. The context was not clear but the Lakers were leading and only 6 minutes were remaining on the clock.

LeBron is often critical of NBA referees

The Lakers star LeBron James is often seen calm on the court and seldom loses his cool. However, staying calm does not mean that he ignores the mistakes committed by an official during a match. The NBA officials have been a hot topic for a few seasons, many people have accused the NBA of having poor officials who are unable to rightfully officiate a game.

This often leads to wrong foul calls and sometimes unjust ejections. Players have called the refs out on such occasions and Bron is no exception. The future Hall of Famer has a reputation of being a whiner, Bron is always there to call out the refs on the decisions he thinks were not called or were wrong. However, unlike many other players in the league, he doesn’t embarrass the refs. The Lakers star makes his points and moves away, the recent videos are rare moments when he has been seen whining on an issue and yelling.
