Hot Mic Caught LeBron James’s NSFW Reaction to Clock Malfunction During Lakers-Warriors Game
The final minutes of the Los Angeles Lakers–Golden State Warriors game Saturday night was a disaster, and LeBron James had the perfect NSFW reaction to the debacle. Thanks to three coach’s challenges and a malfunctioning shot clock, the final two minutes on the game clock took 23 minutes and 27 seconds of real time to complete.
Both coach’s challenges came within seconds of each other, and then the shot clock malfunctioned—leading to ESPN mics picking up James having a Roger Murtaugh moment in real time.
“I’m too old for this s---,” James said
The 39-year-old clearly was ready to go home.
The shot clock never was fixed, though, and referees instead resorted to having legendary public address announcer Lawrence Tanter count down the shot clock while it was kept via stopwatch. The game eventually came to a merciful end with Golden State winning, 128–121. James led all scorers with 40 points in 38 minutes of action.
