During the night from Saturday to Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers narrowly lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves (106-108). A meeting marked by a controversial arbitration decision against LeBron James. Furious in his post-match remarks, the “King” was joined by his coach Darvin Ham and his teammate Anthony Davis.
THE Los Angeles Lakers missed a golden opportunity! On the move to Target Center of Minneapolis last night, the Californian franchise narrowly fell against the Timberwolves (106-108). While he thought he had scored the equalizing basket two seconds from the end of the match, LeBron James saw his basket not be counted as a 3 point. However, the now 39-year-old claims that his foot was well behind the line…
“Even Stevie Wonder could see it”
“My foot is behind the line. You can see the space between the front of my foot and the three-point line. There’s a gap between the front of my foot and the three-point line,” lamented LeBron James at the end of the meeting. “Even Stevie Wonder (blind artist, editor’s note) could see it! It’s very frustrating because it gives the impression that the replay serves no purpose. Everyone can see it. It does not mean anything. It was the equalizer as we were fighting hard against the best team in the West, so it’s frustrating.”
“I thought it was a clear 3-pointer”
“From what I saw, I thought it was a clean 3-pointer. A guy on the side reviewed the images, we think it’s a winning shot,” comments the coach of the Lakers Darvin Ham. Same story for the teammate of LeBron James Anthony Davis : “We see the space between his foot and the line. So that indicates that his foot was behind. If he was at 2 points, we would not be able to see this space,” concludes the pivot in comments relayed by Basket USA.
