During the LA Lakers Vs Toronto Raptors match, LeBron James' resentment reached a breaking point. With Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard out for the game, the Lakers struggled immensely.
When the Lakers were down by 23 points in the first quarter of the game, James had an outburst, letting his teammates know that their efforts weren't good enough.
James stepped up to get the rebound after a missed shot, but the Raptors were able to get the ball and score instead, which made LeBron angry.
LeBron made a furious gesture by bouncing the ball off the court as the Lakers fought to get a rebound midway through the second quarter when LA was down by 19 points.
LeBron seldom displays this kind of open annoyance while playing, but losing by more than 20 points in the first quarter, made him lose his temper.
LeBron immediately screamed at his teammate yelling: "Get the f*ck in here and get a f*cking rebound, god damn it. Come on man, everybody get the f*ck in here."
However, James was the top scorer for the Lakers once more, scoring 30 points and grabbing 9 rebounds while shooting 11 of 19 from the field, including 4 of 9 from long range.
After the LA Lakers’ 103-114 loss against Toronto, LeBron became so frustrated that he refused the post-game press conference.
