On Saturday, the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Boston Celtics when they really ought to have won in regular time. Although Jayson Tatum blatantly hacked LeBron James, the refs failed to make the call, which led to The King putting on a stage act that many ridiculed. Chandler Parsons, who released a bizarre analysis of James’ behavior on Monday, was the most recent person to do so. Prepare yourself for some utter stupidity.
“I can watch my French Bulldog get ran over by the Mailman right now, and I would not react like that” 🤦😂@ChandlerParsons on LeBron’s dramatic reaction to controversial no-call at end of Celtics vs Lakers game #RunItBack with @bansky @ShamsCharania & @MichelleDBeadle pic.twitter.com/idUym6sKld

Yikes. The real question here is why doesn’t Parsons love his dog more? I’d be balling my eyes out if a mailman ran over my pup.
Back to the topic at hand, though. LeBron had every right to react the way he did. Tatum clearly slapped him on the forearm which affected his layup attempt that would’ve won the game. The NBRA even admitted later on they missed the call. Duh.
Did LeBron James go a little bit overboard? Perhaps. He did have quite the fit. Nevertheless, this is The King. And there have been countless times where the 38-year-old is fouled, yet officials don’t call it. He’s clearly being treated unfairly.
The Lakers went on to lose 125-121, falling to 4-6 in their last 10 games. Monday’s meeting with the Brooklyn Nets won’t be easy either as Bron and Anthony Davis are both sitting. On a more positive note, LA gave the C’s a serious run for their money and James dropped 41. He’s quickly closing in on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record. Father Time is simply not a thing for the veteran.
