Los Angeles Lakers’ easy victory over the Utah Jazz yesterday by 126-96 had two comical moments from Lebron James that fire up serious fans and even the announcers of the game!

NBA players often get away with traveling on a nightly basis, but yesterday in the first quarter of the game James overcame the absurdity… as if walking in the park with his dog, the star went unpunished by the referee. The play made fans and players of Utah Jazz crazy:

This was Lebron’s first malfunction of the night. Apparently the Lakers player was distracted by a bump from his teammate Kentavious Caldwell-Pope with Donovan Mitchell. In an interview after the game James explained the situation

“I think at the same time, I was watching the underneath play, and KCP and Donovan got into it. KCP started to run, and Donovan bumped into him, he fell on the ground,” James said. “I think I was ready to pass the ball, and my brain just kind of just, I had a malfunction. I really had a malfunction.”

He added, “It was the worst thing, probably one of the worst things I’ve ever done in my career. I didn’t realize I did it until halftime. One of my coaches showed me.”

In addition to this first lapse that escaped punishment, James near the end of the match decided to relax somewhat excessively: a shoeless LeBron was waving a towel and cheering on his teammates as they closed out the win over the Jazz. provoking the wrath of the Utah Broadcast announcers who saw disrespect in the player’s attitude.

“Look at LeBron, he’s on the court. With no shoes… that’s some disrespect right there.” Jazz announcers weren’t having it 😂 pic.twitter.com/mG0phvgDAd — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) 5 de dezembro de 2019

Lebron used Instagram to respond to the announcers’ criticism

“Imagine doing your job at the highest level to where you’re not needed anymore, giving your shoes to a lil girl and boy who you inspire and hoped you made proud that night, then cheering on your teammates cause you love seeing them succeed more than yourself only to be criticized while doing it. People it’s the world we live in and you can’t let it ever stop you from your purpose in life. Negativity, bad energy, hate, envy, etc etc will try to bring you down throughout your journey and it’s up to you on how you handle it. I handle it by simply saying “Thank You” with a 😁 on my face and continue to push forward while doing it! LIVE.LAUGH.LOVE
