“Bunch of Bullsh*t” – LA Lakers Fans Furious After LeBron James’ Hit on the Head Goes Absolutely Unnoticed by Tony Brothers

LeBron James had quite a birthday special last night during the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game. There were a lot of blunders made by the officials during the game which ultimately enraged the legend by the end of it. So this might be a game he will remember for the rest of his life as it also cost the Lakers a crucial win against the top-seeded team in the Western Conference.

The Lakers were already on a terrible losing streak before their last few games. However, beating the Timberwolves would set the record straight as the Lakers are trying to show that they’re capable of beating A-tier teams. However, this game’s official, Tony Brothers ruled off James’ game-tying three-pointer as a two-point field goal. The 39-year-old was left furious as he argued with the officials while having a look at the replay himself.

LeBron James wasn’t the only one who felt that it was a clear three-point shot. Fans also slammed Brothers for this outrageous call on social media. Brothers’ response to James while they were on the court was also something that led fans to believe the game was rigged. Later, Tony claimed that there was enough evidence to support the challenge. While videos of James’ foot being away from the line surfaced.

It turns out, LeBron James was fouled multiple times during the game and the officials never paid heed to them. One video showed James going in for a drive to the basket. He got fouled by Anthony Edwards twice during the play. However, these fouls were never called despite Edwards making clear contact with James on the drive. This was another instance that fans were able to pin down after the game.

The Lakers forward’s fans were left appalled by the officiating that took place last night. One fan said, “It’s a take foul AND then he gets hit in the head. Bunch of bullsh*t.” Another fan also said, “I swear any player who misses a dunk on two people, the refs would call a foul even if it wasn’t.”
