Barnes went 21-9-5. But looking at the highlights and how bad the Lakers defence was, you have to wonder whether he could have easily roasted them for even more.
Scottie over here looking at the ref call him out of bounds lmao. He didn’t even care of flinch about lebron he wanted the call. Makes sense when you are out scoring the Lakers at that point he was locked in.
I mean I’ve watched a lot of basketball, I’ve never seen someone throw it as hard as this intentionally at a player laying down in my life. Then instantly try to walk up to him like he was going to confront him.
I've seen guys throw it hard before but they'll often apologize, check on the guy, or help him up. The only reason it's hard is because it has to be to make it work.
Professional watchers in this thread saying "this happens every game." It's like saying "Mike Tyson didn't do anything wrong to Holyfield because boxers get their ears hurt all the time"
I've been watching basketball for over 30 years. Throwing it hard off the other player to get an out of bounds call in your favour is pretty standard, this one just looked ugly because of the positions of everyone. Personally, I would've done the same thing to get the same call.
Notably, Barnes was killing them in the low post all through the first half at that point. Yes James was trying to put the ball off of him out of bounds, but that was an overzealous double-handed throw. Totally venting for a crap night.
I mean he had 2 Lakers ready for him to pass it to them. He just decided why not throw it with all my might at the one guy who’s pissing me off and hopefully get the ball. Just another example of poor sportsmanship. Sometimes you gotta take your lumps as you do your victories.
Maybe it's just the hockey fan inside of me, but purposely whipping the ball at a downed player is grounds for getting your ass whipped by the whole other team.
Regardless of this being a basketball play you can tell how frustrated and unwarranted this throw at Barnes head was. Lebron even seemed to look for confrontation afterwards standing over him for a possible reaction.
lebron been in the league almost 20 years now and he’s doing that to a rookie. squaring up to him after he did it as well, absolute bully and man child
Please explain why this wasn’t considered a flagrant foul/technical? Lebron is arguably in the top 3 who ever played the game and well as the top 3 little bitches that ever played the game. WTF?
Yeah let that be LeBron on the ground. He’d STILL be rolling on the ground holding his face. Probably show up the rest of the season with a face shield on looking like Rip Hamilton.
Lebron James.... Wasn't that the guy complaining about people speaking negatively about China? Likes to act like he's the good guy, but is basically just a money hungry a-hole? Looks like something a person like that would do.
I'm starting to think every person claiming MJ is better than LJ is an over 40 male who just doesn't want to believe their era didn't have the absolute best player.
Lol if you think this is bad then I know you never watched Jordan play. Jordan did shit far worse than this. I don't think LeBron is better than Jordan but this comment is just ridiculous.
That was malicious. He threw it at dude's head. And secondly he had two teammates under the goal wide open that he could have thrown it in to. The other 6 people were completely out of the picture.
Is this now illegal in basketball? This used to be pretty common to have it “go out” off the opposing team. You’d throw it hard so they couldn’t catch it or react and it would ricochet out of bounds- typically aim for the butt or leg not to be a dick.
Lol isn't this common when the ball is moving out? You hit the player with it so it becomes your ball or this sub everyone just hates LeBron? I genuinely don't understand why everyone is calling LeBron a bitch
Anyone whose played basketball at any moderately high level knows that this is nothing huge. You do this to regain possession when diving out of bounds for a ball, he could’ve NOT done it, sure. However they’d be playing defense instead of offense the next possession.
I'm not trying to defend LeBron here but isn't this a pretty normal play? He maybe threw it a little harder than normal but it's not like he's gonna say oh this guy is laying down, I'll just take the ball out of bounds
I think it’s just that the throw felt too aggressive. Like it’s less about keeping possession and more just venting because they’re losing and he’s frustrated
A picture of this Lakers team should be next to the word “Schadenfreude” in the dictionary. Losing bad with the cockyness of the 2011 Heat, and players blaming everyone but themselves. Love it!
Don't care how popular you are, how good you are how many games you win or points you score, or even how much money you make, you act this this and you ARE just an ass. Grow up
I’ve always hated LeBron James and I don’t think I’ve ever watched 10 minutes of an NBA game. Everything I see of him just makes him look like a whiny, entitled bitch.
Between the 50-point games and the increased frequency of James Rage can we just admit that Lebron is on some sort of testosterone replacement therapy?
Join Our Discord Server!
Barnes handled that like a champ.
Scottie just plain ignoring LeBron after that probably pissed LeBron off even more!
Man the look on his face actually makes me feel bad, a so confused.
Could you imagine how pissed LeBron would’ve been if it was reversed??
Kinda looking at LeBron like his hero to find out he is just an asshole
Easiest fucking win. That's how bad the Lakers are. A rookie outscoring the whole team.
It was them getting beat by the Rockets this year that took me by surprise, ngl
Barnes went 21-9-5. But looking at the highlights and how bad the Lakers defence was, you have to wonder whether he could have easily roasted them for even more.
Not super close to NBA anymore, how are the Lakers terrible with Lebron on their team?
I don't really keep up with basketball why are they so bad this year?
Fuck Lebron. Ol game time decision sitting out bitch ass.
No he didn’t? He wasn’t even top scorer for his own team, let alone the game, let alone out scoring the entire opposing team.
Short-term gains i guess. Got a title out of it bit now cant finish the damn season.
And Lebron walks up to him expecting to get into a stare down but Barnes was ready to keep playing
Scottie over here looking at the ref call him out of bounds lmao. He didn’t even care of flinch about lebron he wanted the call. Makes sense when you are out scoring the Lakers at that point he was locked in.
Scottie isn’t a whiny bitch like Lebron
Did any type of penalty come out of this?
Barnes should have pointed to the scoreboard :D
I think Barnes was confused lol. Like “did he really just throw the ball at me? Did anybody else see that? No? Alright well let’s play I guess.”
Scottie doesn't know.
That Fiona and me
what!? its catchy
Buzzcut Matt Damon is the best Matt Damon
BOP Scottie Ne Pas
[удалено]
Damon's best role.
Dont look him in the eyes scottie!
Lebron walks over like a bully to him after he did it too… that’s the biggest jerk part
And then Barnes left him On read XD
Because he is a bully.
LeToddler.
LeBron is a fucking asshole
Lebron couldn't be more unlikable.
It appears that Lebron is regretting decisions of putting this team together.
By far the worst gm in the league
I mean I’ve watched a lot of basketball, I’ve never seen someone throw it as hard as this intentionally at a player laying down in my life. Then instantly try to walk up to him like he was going to confront him.

LeBron is a sore loser and a chump.
Professional watchers in this thread saying "this happens every game." It's like saying "Mike Tyson didn't do anything wrong to Holyfield because boxers get their ears hurt all the time"
I don't watch much basketball but that was a pretty standard play until he tried to walk up on him.
May I introduce you to
Did he suffer any consequences? A fine? Ejection? Game suspension? In the NHL that play would probably get you a 10min penalty if not ejected.
I've been watching basketball for over 30 years. Throwing it hard off the other player to get an out of bounds call in your favour is pretty standard, this one just looked ugly because of the positions of everyone. Personally, I would've done the same thing to get the same call.
I vividly recall Rondo throwing a fastball at Varejo's nuts in a similar situation 10 years ago (playoff game between Bos and Cle.)
Notably, Barnes was killing them in the low post all through the first half at that point. Yes James was trying to put the ball off of him out of bounds, but that was an overzealous double-handed throw. Totally venting for a crap night.

I get the venting; he was pissed at himself and his teammates. But a few inches either way, and that could have been a head or hand that was injured.
That's a technical on any other player in the league
Not an excuse for doing that tho, he’s still a POS
GOAT venter.
If that was Xi on the ground Lebron would’ve been much more gentle
I think xi's the reason there's so many lebron Bois in here saying that was a normal play 🤡
Oh poor you. You go about in pity for yourself.
Quiet, you’re not supposed to bring that up.
Xiiiish!
nbacirclejerk
Maybe it's just the hockey fan inside of me, but purposely whipping the ball at a downed player is grounds for getting your ass whipped by the whole other team.
Yep wish we had Ibaka on the team still, he wouldn't have tolerated that shit
"If you can dodge a wrench basketball, you can dodge a ball" - LeBron
That math checks out
I’ve been pissed off all afternoon and this comment made me reluctantly chuckle. F you lol
“When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack.”
LeBron is such a bitch. Did this to a rookie and wanted to act all tough in front of his bench.
The bench after the play giving him mad side eye though lolol
Regardless of this being a basketball play you can tell how frustrated and unwarranted this throw at Barnes head was. Lebron even seemed to look for confrontation afterwards standing over him for a possible reaction.
lebron been in the league almost 20 years now and he’s doing that to a rookie. squaring up to him after he did it as well, absolute bully and man child
That seemed a little unnecessary
One might go so far as to say "flagrant"
If that was the other way around, you know he'd be writhing on the floor like Neymar
Bingo. For like 10 minutes.
I love and hate that Neymars bullshit crosses the sports barrier
Imagine if this was Grayson Allen lol. People would be calling for a public execution.
thris has 10k upvotes bro fym lmao
On the floor or the one throwing?
This is your GOAT?
Jordan punched his own teammate
Do people still argue he is the GOAT?
Let's not forget that MJ was a straight up asshole lmao
Michael Jordan probably wasn’t above this either
MJ is not a good counterpoint lol
LeBron is a bitch
I can’t stand the dude. Supposed to be the best at the sport but has no sport in him. Only win or cry.
LeBitch
Bitch move by a bitch player
His first reaction is to always get in people's face. That's how you know he mad. He's a punk.
His bench is like “bro, wtf”
LeBron was really furious at everything this entire game lol
Really, he's furious with time itself. He can't do what he used to do. He's slower and knows it. The end is nigh.
If roles reversed LeBron would still be crying about it.
For a big guy LeBron sure acts like a little bitch
Acts like?
Always has.
I mean it’s a basketball move laced with malice. Raptors got to him that game and showed his frustration here, albeit completely unnecessary.
Refereeing in this sport still has a long way to go
Please explain why this wasn’t considered a flagrant foul/technical? Lebron is arguably in the top 3 who ever played the game and well as the top 3 little bitches that ever played the game. WTF?
Because he’s the face of the league
Fuck LeBron, garbage human being
Yeah let that be LeBron on the ground. He’d STILL be rolling on the ground holding his face. Probably show up the rest of the season with a face shield on looking like Rip Hamilton.
LePhantom of the Opera
LeQueen baby!
LeBron is such garbage. Scottie played it like a champ!
Lebron is a fucking douchebag.
Big bitch walking…. No class
How was he not ejected for that shit? He threw it right at a young players fucking head? Man fuck LeBron constantly getting babied by Refs.
Lebron James.... Wasn't that the guy complaining about people speaking negatively about China? Likes to act like he's the good guy, but is basically just a money hungry a-hole? Looks like something a person like that would do.
This and the flopping is why he will never be remotely close to being better than Michael Jordan.
What's wrong with this? You think Jordan never did anything like this? lol
Was talking to a coworker just now about the childish behavior and inability to control emotions during a game as a reason he’ll never truly be GOAT
You kids really never watched MJ did you? This is soft stuff compared to what MJ would do in the regular.
That and the fact that while Jordan was an egotistical dick, he didn't directly support any genocidal dictatorships that I know of.
I'm starting to think every person claiming MJ is better than LJ is an over 40 male who just doesn't want to believe their era didn't have the absolute best player.
Lol if you think this is bad then I know you never watched Jordan play. Jordan did shit far worse than this. I don't think LeBron is better than Jordan but this comment is just ridiculous.
Are you fucking joking
Fuck off Lebron you egotistical, hypocrite
Trashy
Yet another example of this gigantic baby being a gigantic baby. An embarrassment to sportsmanship. GOAT my ass.
LeBron is an asshole dude
Once again LeBron James being the POS he really is
Lebron is such a bum. Don’t yall eva compare him to Kobe
LeBron should've retired a couple seasons ago.
As a Lakers fan, fuck LeBron James
That was pretty aggressive, must be tough being a diva on a losing team
That was malicious. He threw it at dude's head. And secondly he had two teammates under the goal wide open that he could have thrown it in to. The other 6 people were completely out of the picture.
Some people in here and the media in general need to stop making excuses for Lebron’s bad behavior.
Shoulda been a T but it webron bron
“That one right there made me extra greater than the greatest player of all time.”
Because LeBron is and always will be a lil bitch
Is that allowed?
Is this now illegal in basketball? This used to be pretty common to have it “go out” off the opposing team. You’d throw it hard so they couldn’t catch it or react and it would ricochet out of bounds- typically aim for the butt or leg not to be a dick.

I don’t respect this dude, everything he does just tells me he’s an entitled bitch willing to harm others to get his way
Shit like this is why Lebron isn’t the goat
Flagrant foul for sure but that’s the nba/chinas darling
Pure bitch move.
Lebron is the biggest cry baby in the history of the sport.
You have to swing immediately after that kid
Sportsmanship : 0
What a spicy meat-a-ball
Lebron is such a bitch
Lebron James rage-yeets leather pumpkin
....long enough to become the villan
What a piece of shit.
LeBron a punk bitch.
LeBitch
Labron is the worst
What a douche!!
Trash being trash...
LeThug always gets away with murder. Can’t wait until his career is over so people don’t talk about him as much.
Worst part is , he wasn't even out of bounds !
LeBron James is a little bitch.
Pos
What a piece of shit.
It's unfortunate his talent couldn't have gone to a decent person...
What a whiny bitch.
Jordan is somewhere laughing at this clown named LeBron.
Le bitch...
LeBron seems like the biggest piece of shit on earth. Why do companies think he is good for PR?
LeBitch gonna LeBitch
God. I hate LeBron 🤦♂️
This is why Labron James is not Michael Jordan.
LeBron being the pos we all know he is. Always has been.
What a dick.
This sub is absolutely disillusioned about what went on in this clip lmao
If that were the other way around , Lebron would cry to the refs like he always does.
Wow what control. I would’ve threw hands bc wtf
Fuck LeMickey. He’s an asshat
I'm not sure what the big deal is here, guys do this all the time. Just because it's LeBron I guess.
I think so far only one other person in this thread understands what happened here.
[удалено]
Care to explain?
I’m a raptors fan and I fucking hate lebron but this doesn’t seem that bad he’s just trying to keep possession by putting it out of bounds of Scottie
I think it’s just that the throw felt too aggressive. Like it’s less about keeping possession and more just venting because they’re losing and he’s frustrated
3 reasons why this is different.
It really isn't that bad at all, but Scottie handled it very well either way. Y'all got a real one !
"calm down lebron take deep breathes and say china 3 time"
smashed the ball earlier too, no call.
A picture of this Lakers team should be next to the word “Schadenfreude” in the dictionary. Losing bad with the cockyness of the 2011 Heat, and players blaming everyone but themselves. Love it!
What a role model
Don't care how popular you are, how good you are how many games you win or points you score, or even how much money you make, you act this this and you ARE just an ass. Grow up
Lebron is such a sore losing piece of shit
I’ve always hated LeBron James and I don’t think I’ve ever watched 10 minutes of an NBA game. Everything I see of him just makes him look like a whiny, entitled bitch.
Did LeBron not learn anything during his time with Bugs and crew?
How is that not player misconduct? What is this sport?
I can’t watch Lebron play anymore. Refs call everything for him and if they don’t, he turns into a soccer player.
You got outhustled you old man
LeBitch Mode activated
What a little bitch LeBron is.... Scottie was killing Lakers that game.
R/imatotalpieceofshit
James is a bitch
Is it me or is LeBron becoming more and more diiiiiirty?
Between the 50-point games and the increased frequency of James Rage can we just admit that Lebron is on some sort of testosterone replacement therapy?
Funniest thing is if someone did that to LeBron he'd be bitching about it.
