LeBron James celebrated his birthday with his 7th defeat in the last 10 matches and a controversial tackle that caused fever in the online community against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Today in US time is LeBron James’ birthday and the world’s top basketball star “celebrated his birthday” in a way that even he did not expect: Losing painfully, disagreeing with the referee and going on social networks. The association continued to express frustration.
The match, which took place at noon on December 31, the Los Angeles Lakers lose controversially to the Western leader Minnesota Timberwolves.
The focus revolved around the ball where LeBron James seemed to have successfully made a 3-point shot, but the referee only counted 2 points, leading to a final defeat of 106-108.
The controversial ball occurred when there were only a few seconds left in the match. Trailing 104-107, LeBron James received a quick counterattack ball from Anthony Davis and decided to throw a quick 3-pointer to equalize the score.
The ball went into the basket but LeBron’s foot seemed to have stepped on the line so the referees only counted 2 points, shortening the score to 106-107. Because this was an important situation that could determine the outcome of the match, the referee team asked to watch the video for assistance.
After a long time at the midfield screen, the whistleblowers concluded that this was just a 2-point shot by LeBron James. This decision immediately made the “king” angry.
