A clearly frustrated LeBron James reached his boiling point with one reporter who repeatedly asked him about teammate J.R. Smith, who’s 4th quarter blunder sent the game into overtime and arguably contributed to the Cavalier’s ultimate loss to Golden State, 124-114.
ESPN reporter Mark Schwarz attempted to get James to go in-depth into Smith’s decision to dribble the ball after a rebound instead of taking a shot, which could’ve potentially given Cleveland the lead.

James was visibly upset with Smith on the court, but clearly didn’t feel the need to speak on the matter any further. Still, Schwarz persisted, eventually causing the NBA baller to stand up, gather his things and walk out.
