With time ticking down in the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Minnesota Timberwolves Saturday, Lakers forward LeBron James did what he does best. He knocked down a three-pointer to tie the game at 107 with 2.3 seconds showing on the clock...
...or so he thought. The shot was ruled a two on the floor and survived a replay review, facilitating a 108–106 Timberwolves victory.
With several video and photographic angles implying there was a wedge of court between James’s sneaker and the three-point line when he took the shot, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer took the game’s officiating to task on his 39th birthday.
