LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics on Saturday in a game that went to overtime, thanks largely to a missed foul call in the final seconds that could have changed the outcome of the game and had everyone furious with refs for being really bad at their jobs.
In case you missed it, LeBron drove to the hoops and was clearly fouled by Jayson Tatum while going up for a layup in a tie game. The refs somehow didn’t see that Tatum hit LeBron’s arm, which led to the missed the bucket.
This was a really bad missed no call:

He had every right to be upset with the refs after that one. But fans did have fun with LeBron’s very emotional reaction.
Let’s go to the memes!
