The Denver Nuggets won the Western Conference first-round series 4-1, eliminating LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers from the NBA playoffs.
James had a fantastic game, but one Denver viral moment jumped out during the contest.
In the second half, LeBron and Nikola Jokić were battling in the paint for a potential rebound when refs called a foul on the superstar Lakers player.
LeBron was not pleased as he threw his arms out and up before walking off as he did not want to receive a technical foul. On TNT, we all saw the following moment where it appeared LeBron was mocking Nikola Jokić, but that actually wasn’t the case.
Leaked audio and video actually show James walking back near some Denver Nuggets fans when a woman could be seen yelling at him courtside. He would then turn to her and flinch, which made her jump in fear.
