[Highlight] Alternate angle of JJ Redick trying to call a play for LeBron who was laughing with the Suns bench (down 21). Redick was visibly annoyed and called a timeout.
That’s so bad
Brutal look, guy has absolutely no respect for his coach and his teammates.
Yeah as a massive Bron fan this is inexcusable.
Completely unacceptable regardless of who his coach and teammates are. Gotta show basica respect and desire to compete as a person in general.
This is who LeBron has always been. Nothing new here
Difference now is that he’s in the twilight of his career and passive aggressive about the fact he’s no longer THE guy for his team.
Definitely the vibe of a dude on the way out of a job he’s worked at for 23 years
When you put in your 2 weeks
Im supervising now, like it or love it.
His behavior is inexcusable. So petty and unprofessional
It’s crazy cuz ppl honestly thought he was going to be cool with not being the guy and taking a back seat. We all knew this shit was coming at some point smh.
So this is disgusting behavior from him for sure. That said… what part of this makes it look like he’s not cool with the back seat. Dudes been looking like he’s having a party on the court in his recent games. Don’t ever remember him smiling so much lol.
Again - disgusting behavior though
Y’all acting like LeBron punched a teammate 😂 “Disgusting” behavior? Game was over, I don’t think anyone on the Lakers gives af about this. He has fit in great with the team since returning but so many love to stir up drama. I appreciate getting to see the greatest player of the 21st century still doing it in year 23
Its still poor from the Vet. Its not something I wont forget and forgive once he inevitably picks it up but that’s just awful to do. Your team is supposed to play hard and listen or at least work with the coach if they’re on the floor. Its something Bron shouldn’t be doing. I would hate it if it rubs off on people not as good or even closely tenured the same amount, and that’s the main reason he shouldn’t.
Lmao one dude said it’s literally inexcusable
what has he done that was passive aggresive? genuine question, havent rly been following
Holy hyperbole
We talking about the same Bron who tried to get Spo fired, right?
When you have to go back 15 years for another example it kinda undermines your point lol
It’s because everywhere he’s ever been aside from Miami and CLE 1.0, he signed off on who the coach was. You can’t be this dense bro.
How is it hyperbole? The dude has pretty much always been the boss of his coaches, especially after Miami.
I love LeBron and I think he is kinda right.
LeBron has always been uncompetitive? What are we talking about here?
Yup, coming out of the woodworks typical ambulance chasing types.
Also a complete lack of respect for the people who paid good money to watch the game, a lot of them to see him especially, I’m sure. Big LeBron fan too going back to 09 and this is disgusting to me for multiple reasons.
Yea bro ngl thats my fav player but this where it start to look like he holding that franchise hostage. You doing shit like this plus your son got a spot and not doing much to help the team..he dont want them LA fans to feel like they there just taking up space
In the last 20 years of watching Lebron, he has the most court awareness I have ever seen of a player. He’s even saved some young players on the other side of the ball from making stupid mistakes.
This screams he knows exactly what he is doing here.
He likes to separate himself from the team when they’re doing poorly. I don’t think LeBron is delusionally competitive. When he calculates that the team is good he’s all in, if not he’s kinda been a diva at times. I remember him pulling shit like this during the Westbrook years
remember Lebron taking games off and disappearing to Miami to train with Wade while Cavs went through a slump
How in the fuck do you think this Lakers team is not good lmao
He doesn’t have the killer mentality. If he’s the captain of a ship, and the ship starts sinking, he’ll be the first to jump aboard when the captain should be jumping last lol
Skip?
excellently well put
He did this with the 2nd stint Cavs as well. He has been known as the guy who goes into the locker room before the game is even over if the team is losing.
Yeah, feels like he’s trying to send a message of some kind
That’s a great way to put it. The mfer does whatever he wants 💀
If you have any idea of specific instances of him saving young dudes on the opposing team from doing something dumb I’d love to watch that. Seems interesting.
Derozan has a good story abt it during Lebronto days
Hes been known to being this way, except the difference is his production on the court doesnt mask it anymore. And throw in he’s just coasting into retirement and hes not the focal point. There you go.
Known for being what way? Unfocused?
I wake up every morning and clock in as a LeBron hater but its December 1…
you can claim anything in a lebum hate thread
lebron only brushes his teeth on mondays
Thinks the falling water in the shower is enough to clean his feet.
Lebron only flosses the morning of a dentist appointment and says “yeah, I floss every day.”
LeBron only brushes for a minute instead of two
I saw LeBron at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
What a jerk. This is why Jordan will always be the goat.
I saw Michael Jordan at a grocery store in Jupiter, Florida yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face.

Jordan is such a shit bag! That’s why Kareem will always be the goat.
Idk were that mf live 😂
For visibly displaying his disrespect towards his coach and/or teammates
You’d think if Bron actually had the attitude problems people accuse him of having, a lot more of his like 1,000 teammates over the years would have talked shit about him or told stories about him being a dick
Didn’t LeBron try to get Spo fired?
He wanted a veteran, proven head coach that’s regarded as one of the best (Pat Riley) instead of a young head coach that was 2 or 3 years into his coaching career. After the Mike Brown experience in Cleveland, I think it’s fair to want a highly regarded, proven head coach, especially since Riley already coached other all time greats before
What does that got to do with anything? He’s a star player, his opinion on the direction of a team should be considered
These are minor flaws in the grand scheme of things
when you the leader, you set a better example
Rondo called out Lebron for his poor body language before
Yeap and i hated that shit. That shoulder shrug. Everytime passive aggressive shit
they aint tryna get blackballed from the league and have rabid Lebron stans send them death threats
Danny Green and Kuzma got death threats just cause they missed a shot in Finals off a Lebron pass
Please, people make whole careers around shitting on LeBron (looking at you Skip Bayless & Stephan A.)
I wouldn’t say people would get blackballed per se but the Klutch mafia and PR team is fucking real man lmao. Like when Draymond punched Poole the hit pieces on Poole were out like crazy and Draymond tried to spin the narrative that he was the actual victim.
I’ll be honest bro your clock is fucked up
So long as that man is in a Lakers shirt, he’s a hoe and I am duty bound to inform everyone of that fact
Lmao what a dramatic take. “Guy has absolutely no respect for his coach and teammates” 😂🤡
The most extreme LeBron glaze or hate is gonna get upvotes no matter what on here.
Seriously. It’s such a basement dwelling Redditor thing to say
Dude has been playing this game for a hundred years and likes to fuck around sometimes
reddit: “THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL SHIT I’VE EVER SEEN!!!!! I’M SURE EVERYONE ON HIS TEAM HATES HIM!!”
Not saying it’s right but I mean the guy went from 6th in MVP last year to standing in the corner for almost 3⁄4 of the game to defer to Luka/AR. Sure when it works it’s all good vibes but they were just giving the ball away at the end of the first half when led to the game getting away and he probably mentally checked out until the 4th when he realized he needed 10 points lol
He was absolute dog shit in that game, and was a big part of giving the ball away.
He had a bad game don’t pull the LeVictim card
It’s difficult because you have a new coach trying to create a culture and still find his way in a new role and you have a vet who just doesn’t give a shit about a blowout loss to some random bad team in December.
I don’t even think Lebron is doing it on purpose I think it is probably really difficult at this point in his career to care about a game like this.
JJ should have just bench his ass then
JJ has been the coach for a year lol
Im not sure if i agree with calling suns a bad team, wins over Spurs x2, wolves. Recent losses are to thunder, nuggets, rockets, with the thunder game being thunde4s 3rd? Hardest game this season. They’d probably have won a few games earlier in the season if they weren’t injured and still trying drastically changed lineups from last season. I can see this team making 6th seed if spurs keeps having injuries
Really should have just retired after last season, doesn’t seem like his heart’s in it this year
Haha senior vs teacher vibes
Though the senior in this case is also the rich kid who’s the son of the principal
And the senior has been in school for over twenty years, during which time the teacher started school, went to university and came back to his old school as a teacher, to find the Senior is still at the same school
I think the uhh analogy may have broken down a bit
No it’s pretty much shot for shot Van Wilder
Ah. The bert kreischer story
Edit: lol people in this thread may not know van wilder was based off Bert kreischer
And the senior is responsible for the teacher’s hiring at this particular establishment
And the senior is plowing the mom of one of his classmates for the hell of it.
He made that classmate by plowing his mom
He learned it from the goat DeLonte west
I’m starting to think this analogy may have some holes
The senior also has the highest cumulative GPA ever recorded. Everybody thought he’d graduate 5 years ago but somehow he’s still going to school and he’s still got a top 20 gpa in his class. A class which includes his firstborn son, who’s still working through remedial math.
I don’t care who you are, that’s embarrassing behavior.
Even worse when you remember he’s making $53 million this season, more than any other Laker.
He doesn’t care. In his mind he’s above all this. Again, I don’t blame him for thinking like that. He’s accomplished everything he wanted to and more. Even has one of those useless nba cups.
It is, however, the reason he’ll never be the GOAT. Brady, Tiger, MJ wouldn’t be caught dead acting like this.
Hows the lebum tastes like?
Pelinka was right not to extend him for the max
No respect for anyone. Teammates, coach, fans who paid good money. And he makes the most money in the team. Disgusting. And it’s really strange considering how we only ever hear about his absolute professionalism when it comes to preparation for the game. All that just to fuck around like this? I know it’s a random game in December, but still.
In front of his son too, who he should be setting an example for. That was very disappointing and I hope he sees this and learns from it.
That’s no way to treat your podcast cohost.
JJ should have made him go sit with the Heat
Not anymore, that’s why LeBron doesn’t listen
It’s so funny how like 2 days ago everybody was like “Lakers vibes are immaculate” and now they’re like “this team is in trouble, LeBron is a parasite”
As someone who spends 90% of their Reddit time on pop culture and gossip related subs, this sub is more reactive and drama obsessed than all of them combined
This is my real housewives
Because there’s like two sides to this waiting to pounce on whatever fits their point of view lmao
The guys who love Lebron aren’t talking much on this thread because there’s not much to hype up about. The guys who want to shit on him a bit are here posting.
That’s just how social media is.
People always like to treat one loss in a 82 game season as the nail in the coffin, sell the team, trade all the players, fire all management, move the team to Vegas. If they can’t manage an 82-game winning streak, the team is broken.
When LeBron has 30 and 10 a week from now everybody will be back to saying he’s the goat and he’s going to play for another 10 years.
Best part is how, after JJ calls timeout to address LeBron paying attention, LeBron keeps talking with the suns and doesn’t join the huddle
That’s like…the main part lol
Nah the main part is definitely Lebron causing Jj to take a time out lmao
He’s like “I have to commit now, I’m spending the timeout here”
Has he ever yelled at LeBron yet?
Yell’s at Bronny all the time
/r/apostrophegore
Not at him directly, but at everyone including lebron during last year’s playoff against the Wolves. I believe it was game 2 when they had a huge lead and they got lazy
Probably. But it’s 5 games into the season and we see maybe 5% of direct coach to player interactions.
It’s 20 games into the season lol. The season does not stop and start with Lebron’s injuries
the question was literally “has he ever yelled at LeBron?” so definitely important to add the 5 game context lol
Would be pretty funny if he was yelling at him on the bench
LeFraternising
LeVity
JJ is LeVid
JJ dont have the balls to bring that up in film session
The balls or the power? LeBron wanted JJ because he would have full control.
Just so happens JJ is a pretty good coach too lol so it ended up working out for the Lakers and then getting Luka should have them set up in that regard going forward
This is just a horrible look though regardless. JJ is supposed to be his friend at the very least. He fucking puts a shit ton into coaching this team and he just wanted his star to respect him there. I get that it’s Lebron and he “picked” JJ but this shits gross man
That is why you don’t mix friendships with business
Facts. You can see how frustrated JJ is and wants to rip him but can’t. Even Luka kept looking back at JJ the whole time during that play. Then chucks the ball at the rim and walks off. LeBron is not stupid. He is trolling them for whatever reason and flexing his power
Lebron has no power now. Front office wouldn’t extend him and Luka/reaves got to bring their friends in or guys who share their agents. The team also extended jj
So in terms of power LeBron is not near the top at this point. That’s part of why he’s acting like this
LeMeatSucker
LeChatty Cathie
JJ said “I’ll wait.”
He’s talking to Goodwin, who was a Laker last year. Also looks like he’s talking shit to Brooks a little
In another angle a lot of the Suns were laughing. I’m generally curious wtf Bron is always saying to have people laugh like that. Every time he’s talking to the opposing teams bench they are always smiling and laughing
I bet he’s not even saying anything that funny. It’s like Tony in the Sopranos, you gotta laugh at the Bosses jokes
Ya hear what I said Ton’? It’s like in the Sopranos, you gotta laugh at the Bosses jokes.
heh heh
No offense, you ever get yourself checked out for Tourette’s? “Hehhehhehheh”
The craziest part is LeBron’s watched The Sopranos a bunch of times, I wonder if he ever thinks of the scenes where the guys laugh in slow motion 😂
Wdym those are his favorite scenes!
Opposite team laughing cuz Bron might get them traded too 💀
He was talking to Book I’m pretty sure, their conversation continued even after the timeout
Nah it’s Goodwin. That’s who the guy on the bottom screenshot even is
It was both, there’s another clip on this sub showing him talking to Book at length too. Book is right next to Goodwin
He’s sharing a funny line from page 1 of a new book that he read
Lebron heard him.
The whole arena heard him
The arena always hears JJ 😂
“Thought you were yelling at bronny”
this is a terrible look for Lebron, no matter his intention
LeIndividualistic
JJ slowly realizing he couldn’t do anything is funny
The refs not respecting him calling time was just the cherry on the sundae
He took the “I’m too old for this” to another level
I saw people on the LeBron sub try to blame this on JJ
The LeBron sub lol
TIL
Kobe would never….
Thats what I was immediately thinking. Especially when the team is down like 20 pts
You wouldn’t catch MJ laughing with the opponent’s bench while he’s down 21.
Aw cute JJ thinks he’s the coach.
MJ/Kobe would never
lol there are wayyy more damning clips of Kobe disregarding his coaches + teammates
I think the difference is that Kobe did it because of his competitiveness and confidence (albeit at his team’s expense at times).
LeBron is giving off a complete disregard of competitiveness goofing off here.
MJ would dunk on their ass, talk shit to them on defense, steal it and dunk on them again
Jordan had the ability to fly and read minds too
mj punched a teammate
kobe quit in the middle of a play off game
Lebron abandoned his teammates and left the court with an entire quarter to go in a playoff game cause his ass was getting blown out lmao
LeJustLetMeKeepMy10ptStreakAlive
JJ benching him a couple minutes into the next game to break it would be hilarious
JJ has this team off to one of its better start in years and it was without LeBron. Some reason this dude decides to act like a child when team success isn’t on his terms? I don’t care what anyone tells me this dude Lebron cares more about perception than actual results. He is the most seasoned veteran in the league act like it and show that details matter even in a loss.
Prime Bron would of traded him for that
Time to trade him.
Definitely. And to the Suns, he’s got good chemistry with em already
Yall are missing the point. He’s doing this to save face for his terrible performance. Pretty obvious. Like when you’re sucking at something so you act like you don’t care
LeBron’s disrespect is terrible. He puts the whole team in a bad spot
Jordan would never, teehee
what in the fuck is this editing. just the video, with a still image below it, and impact font for subtitles?
LeBron checked out, like he’s starting a new job in 2 weeks. Dude is retiring.
People are just making lejokes in here but if this was anyone else they’d be getting absolutely torched by reddit. That’s actually a really bad look lol
He is getting torched, did you read the comments lmao
Look at the top comments for a sec
If he’s not gonna play he needs to sit the bench or get traded. Ridiculous
Eh, nothing new. He’s always been this way.
Fucking embarrassing
Lebron is a bum.
Damn I miss Kobe
Leyapper
Totally unacceptable and not a good look, especially for someone being paid $52M
Le Checked Out
This dude just needs to retire, there is nothing left to prove
What a dick
I know pretty much every post about LeBron inevitably has a Jordan comparison, and I recognize that it’s hypocritical of me (not ironic, shoutout Jamie Tartt), but we all know this would’ve never happened with MJ. Was he always respectful to his coaches 100% of the time? Probably not, but as a competitor and lover of the game no way he sits there and jokes with the other bench while his coach is trying to get his attention, in a game he’s losing by 20.
Bench him
This immediately made me think of one of the goat Shaqtin clips when J.R. Smith starts talking to/daps up a player on the opposing team WHILE IN THE GAME and the guy he was (supposed to be)guarding gets passed the ball for the wide open basket🤣
I saw this live and this is why LeBron will never be a goat to me… you’re down 21 and you’re joking with the opposing team??? Be for real.
LeBum’s a betch.
One of many reasons to dislike the guy.
👎
I know it’s one game, I know the lakers were on a winning streak but this is an awful look and a giant red flag
I hated this so much. Zero accountability afterwards too. Doubles down and talks even more while facing away from his team. Such a sassy passive aggressive fuck sometimes.
That’s been LeBron his entire career. Insane talent, but he never respects his coach or gm. It’s probably why he’ll finish with less rings than Kobe and MJ
LeCheckedOut
The first professional basketball game I’ve ever went to. It was a total joke, the whole team came out to warm up and LeBron came out on his own 5 minutes before the game started. I lost so much respect for him. The whole team just gave up at the end of the first half. I get they played a few games straight but damn, it just feels disrespectful that I came in starry eyed excited to see LeBron play and he acted like that.
The Lakers sub is downplaying this, but this is such a red flag. LeBron being mentally checked out like this with 60 games left in the season? I hope he retires after this year and the Lakers can pay an actual player who plays that 52 million.
This guy used to be my goat.
It honestly makes me sad to think about how big of a fan I used to be.
LeJoker
seriously though, wtf is he doing? we get it you’re LeBron but c’mon dawg
I really like LeBron but what the fuck is he doing here?
