Did LeBron James and Stephen Curry Just Expose the Incompetence of Referees? React!

LeBron James is someone who has had his fair share of issues with on-court officials during his NBA career. Just three months ago, during a game against the Washington Wizards, the Lakers star took offense to a foul that was called against him. Even though the Lakers ended up winning the game 125-120, that didn’t stop him from saying, “Call the foul, motherf**king n**ga!” during the game. A few weeks later, he took offense after a foul called against rival Michael Porter Jr. made all the difference in the Denver Nuggets’ narrow victory. It led him to rant in the post-game press conference, saying, “Why do we have a slow-motion center if it’s going to happen like this? It doesn’t make sense to me.”

While this victory still puts Team USA in the unbeatable category, a game this close is cause for concern. Fortunately, the solution to breaking through South Sudan’s defense may be found by the time LeBron James and co. face them again at the main Olympics in Paris next week.
