LeBron James is not happy with the NBA after the Lakers latest loss.
Late in the Lakers’ game against the Timberwolves, LeBron appeared to hit a clutch three-pointer on his birthday to tie the game.
LEBRON CLUTCH.

Unfortunately for LeBron, the refs on the floor called the shot a two-pointer, and the play went into replay review.
An irate LeBron pointed at the screen on the sideline to plead his case with the refs.

The replay officials in Secaucus ruled that LeBron’s foot was on the line, and the Lakers lost the game.

After the game, blasted the NBA officials in the replay center over the call.
“You could see the space between the front of my foot and the 3-point line… Stevie Wonder can see that… The [referee’s] said it was out of their hands. Somebody [in the replay center] eating a ham sandwhich made the call.”
