LeBron James Seen Joking Around With Opposing Team

NBA TV

Lakers head coach JJ Redick did not seem happy with LeBron James during the team’s loss to the Phoenix Suns.

On Monday night, LeBron and the Lakers struggled offensively during their blowout loss to the Suns.

After the game, Redick mocked his team for its lack of effort.

“It’s a weird sort of thing, it really is,” Redick said. “It’s like the Monstars taking over people that you’ve grown to coach and they’re not doing anything that they normally do.”

“If you don’t play hard against that team, you’re going to get exposed, we talked about matching their physicality, we didn’t do that to any extent at any point in the game. Maybe there was brain fog from three (games) in four nights, I don’t know.”

During the game, fans noticed Redick appeared to get annoyed with James, who was joking around with Suns players while the Lakers were down 20 points.

Phoenix hits a HUGE three to give them a 21 point lead, a furious JJ Redick calls timeout, and everyone heads back to the huddle.

Then there’s LeBron yucking it up with Suns players on their bench.

Mind asking them about a trade while you’re at it??pic.twitter.com/qqV2m8Xsb0
