LeBron James voices frustration after review: ‘What we have replay for?’ | NBA on ESPN
On that play so you know some screenshots you the replay a million times so what what were you looking at when you kind of the discussion with the refs there about where your foot was and how do you just evaluate that play what do you mean how I mean it’s
It’s obviously three my foot is behind the line I mean you can see the space between my my front of my foot and the three-point line you can L clearly see a white the the wood on the floor is it’s a space in between my front of my foot
And the three-point line so there no Stevie Wonder can see that champ did uh did Tony Brothers have a an explanation no Tony brothers did not but I didn’t talk to Tony brother I talked to the other ref and they said it was out of their hands the caucus whatever
Over there in the replay Center whatever somebody over there eating a ham sandwich or somebody made the call how do you handle that there have been plays I’m sure that have not gone your way like that in the past where a game has been decided oh yeah we had
Like five or six of them last year what’s the way to handle that as a team n looks stupid when they bring out the last two-minute report what did you see uh or what what kind of look did you get on the final play of the game I think your shot was
After the the buzzer yeah um I thought I had a quick goal but when I turn Rudy was right there so try to duck under it 1.4 is a lot of time but not as much time as I thought so I kind of misread
That but I do a better job I’ve been in that situation before I just got to do a better job of knowing the time I could have caught it and shot it right away but an was playing on the high side and soon as when I turn Rudy was right there
So I just got to be better with that though Darin said he thought there could have been a Miss calling that as well um some contact there was there was but that was they’re not going to call that at that point and that was close Corners
Right there Rudy me and right there so but there was nobody between me and my foot and that three corter line like how frustrating is it to have something like that you know it’s all lines up for you you you guys get the stop you guys were down seven a minute
Before all of a sudden you have the runway ahead of you you make the shot I mean it’s super frustrating in the sense of what the hell we got Replay for what do we have Replay for if even a replay gets it wrong it’s like like who who’s who’s who’s a part
Of the replay Center like we got robots in there that making the Teslas what’s going on if you don’t see that that is clear that is clear like even if even if the shot is released and my foot is on the line afterwards it doesn’t matter it
Doesn’t matter once the shot is out of my hand no matter where my foot lands it’s from when I shot the ball and it’s clear everyone can see it so it doesn’t make sense and that’s a tie game and we’re we’re fighting for our asses playing the number one team in the west
Right now and you know that’s that’s frustrating so the frustration today get out the court I didn’t get out to bed today till 4:30 so that’s super unlikely I woke up my alarm went off at 9 um when my alarm woke up first at 8 to go down and get
Treatment I couldn’t couldn’t get out the bed and then I knew we had a 9:45 bus in my alarm went off again at 9:00 I couldn’t get I still was like need to get some more rest so I took a few more naps and then
Um I finally just got out of bed like like 4:30 got a shower that helped me a little bit called the 5:00 bus and I guess for okay to play I can make some plays to help us win the ball game you guys play again tomorrow like I
Back to that I don’t know where I’m be I don’t know missed that up told last time that’s right um I mean I feel like now obviously and this flight is not going to help it but let me see how I feel tomorrow when I wake up and going
Through all the day so we see last question have you feel about the the new starting lineup just I know it’s just the third you guys are play together but have you seen the team every game is an adjustment for us we we’re all trying to figure this out
Man you I know we uh what we 30 33 games now 17 16 I think 33 games in and we still just trying to you know I’m still trying to figure out lineups and rotations and you know who to have on the floor at certain moments you know in
The fourth quarter we had four or five lineups you know and I’m trying to just trying to win the game so you know I don’t think it’s ever about who starts I think it’s about who finishes and how you finish the game you know um so I
Really don’t put too much into into starting lineups um you know you just try to figure out way how you can always complement each other um you know I don’t think we have enough samples siid to really dictate what we should be I think our first game was the OKC game I
Believe um so probably like four or five games of a small sample size lineup can be um actually it’s not even that mean because uh ruy started the last game for cam so we just I’m just trying to figure it [Applause] [Applause] out [Applause]
LeBron James speaks about the call in the final seconds of the Los Angeles Lakers’ loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves where hit long jumper was ruled a 2-poiner and upheld after review.

Speak yo mind king
Somebody in the replay center eating a ham sandwich 🥪 don’t like Lebron 🤦🏽♂️😂
AM I TRIPPIN OR DOES LEBRON WHOLE BEARD LOOK GREY… IDK, SHYT I NEED TO STOP SMOKIN ⛽️
LeButt fans 🤣😆
Its clear 3. Bron always getting rob!
I’m trying to figure out why this interview long AF. How many ways are we going to say my foot was behind the line???. It wasn’t hold the L move on sheash beating a dead horse
The level of NBA refs aren’t comparable to the European ones.
His foot was on the line. Stop it.
Cry baby.
Bron brought a bottle to the locker room after all that stress 😂
Lets go Knicksss
Why he have replay??? Then most of his points should be taken off because of travel
If I’m the NBA players I’m contacting all the top players across the league and going on strike until those current refs are fired or suspended. You don’t have a product without the fans and all I’ve seen is us fans complaining about the refs all season. So if the players and the fans are upset then Adam Silver gotta do something 💯
Spoken like someone who can afford the impending fines 😂😂😂😂
Someone got paid
Doesn’t matter if his foot was on the line, he travelled before
The wine in the back crazy bron😭
You traveled goofy 😂😂😂😂 this duded has the worst skills ever of any legend
Not sure which was more rigged, this game or the Lions Cowboys 😂
I mean, looked like the right call it y’all watch the entire replay and not the photo that makes it look like you’re right. As he elevates it looks like his toe crosses the line. Y’all gotta grow up, refs make a lot of bad calls, usually ones that help LA. This wasn’t a bad call, go watch the full video yourself
I been watching LA play all year long. In they never had the lead of a game 🎉 until the 4qr. In some teams don't deserve to be in tight games with the Lakers
Lebron you get 99 percent of calls quit crying man. The goat michael jordan never cried over foul calls like queen james
Lebehindtheline 😢
I’ve accused him of ducking players but in this case he sounds under the weather. I think the refs got it wrong.
Like I said the top part of the shoe where your toes are at is not ever gonna go that far forward to touch the line. He was behind the line refs did this vs the Celtics clear foul missed the call. What do you have replay for if you not gonna view it correctly
Its like Draymond complaining about getting kicked in the nuts.
Foot was on the line meat eaters
Foot was on the line meat eaters
🤡🤡🤡👑👑👑
Officials should be suspended when they make an egregious call or miss an egregious foul call.
He destroyed the NBA and now he is crying?😂🤡👑
Steve kerr was right about these NBA refs 😂😂😂
Totally screwed but don’t mean the performance of the team was even 20% of standard god knows how Austin R got so much time and did little
NBA referees have always been full of s*** that man split was clearly behind the line that's a Vegas payoff to me
His toe was clearly on line when he rose up. Don't look at the picture before he rose up. The refs got it right this time.
LeBron turned to square to the basket and his foot was clearly on the line. He is disrespecting the person reviewing away from the stadium that probably spends a lot of time being accurate. LeBron wasn’t complaining when he got an illegal timeout against the Suns when the Lakers did not have possession of the ball. I like LeBron but the NBA needs to keep him away from walking around trying to influence calls. He is
competitive and II respect that but he is making it difficult for the refs to do their job.
How about the NBA enforces the basic rules like traveling and carrying before we start talking about anything else. Lebron has always been a baby always will be a baby. It’s just who he is. He is always the victim
It was clearly the right call. This clown made a 2 point shot.
