Hot Mics Caught LeBron James Getting Mad at Opponent for Flopping, and NBA Fans Had Jokes

LeBron James was mic’d up for the Lakers’ matchup with the Grizzlies Tuesday night and was caught razzing another player for flopping. Naturally, the internet had jokes.

James and Grizzlies star big Jaren Jackson Jr. were battling for position in the post. When LeBron tried edging in front of Jackson Jr., the Grizzlies forward flew backwards, drawing a whistle from the referees. James wasn’t pleased, accusing Jackson Jr. of flopping on the play to earn a call.
