LeBron James was apparently in no mood to congratulate the Denver Nuggets.
On Monday night, the LA Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs after Jamal Murray hit a clutch shot in the game’s final seconds to secure the Nuggets win.

Immediately after the Lakers lost the game, LeBron was seen on camera appearing to walk off the court without shaking hands with the Nuggets.

During his postgame press conference, LeBron refused to answer questions about if he plans to continue to play in Los Angeles next season.
While LeBron is clearly dealing with a lot of drama with the Lakers, fans thought he was being a “sore loser” for not shaking hands with the Nuggets after getting eliminated.
LeBron James is the biggest sore loser ever… not only did he lose 6 finals but he also stormed off the court without shaking Jamal Murray’s hand for dunking on him and hitting a game winning shot. He needs to take notes from Kevin Durant who praised Ant despite getting swept!! pic.twitter.com/M9ziyP0bA0

GOATS don’t do this. I remember every time the Pistons knocked the Bulls out back in the days, Jordan shook hands. Even the come back season when the magic knocked the Bulls out, he shook Penny and Shaq’s hands and wished em well. This not how you do it. 🤦🏾♂️ https://t.co/jgRPFvLLfU
