Last night, in a match where the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves (108-105) in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals, LeBron James spoke on his X account, denouncing a rule incomprehensible according to him. On vacation after being eliminated in the first round with the Lakers, the “King” hopes to make himself heard despite everything. But what is this famous rule?
Behind his television screen, LeBron James is closely following the end of the NBA season. This Wednesday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar observed the match between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Dallas Mavericks. During the game, he took out his phone to complain about a rule on his X account. Indeed, Jason Kidd, Texas coach, used two challenges before the fourth quarter; both of which were positive. Despite everything, and due to NBA rules, the Mavericks were unable to ask for one again at the critical moment of the game.

” That does not make any sense “
Why can’t a successful challenge be repeated? This is the question that arises LeBron James : “We have to change this rule of the challenge! There’s no way you can have two successful challenges and it’s impossible to use others for the rest of the match! This makes NO SENSE,” he wrote annoyed. Fortunately for Dallas, this did not harm the team. The Texans had no problem closing out the game and left Target Center with a 108-105 victory and a 1-0 advantage in the Western Conference finals.
What is the exact rule?
The challenges assigned to coaches in the NBA are still relatively new since they have only existed since 2019. Originally, each team was only given one challenge per game, but starting this season, a second challenge is awarded if the first is successful. For Jamesand probably for many others, this second challenge may not yet be the perfect solution.
