The NBA playoffs really bring out the competitive side in people.
In 2020,LeBron Jamesfamously led the Lakers to the NBA title in a season massively disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
While Anthony Davis was great during that run, Alex Caruso was the breakout star. His two-way ability as a glue guy was proof that those types of players can flip an entire series — just as Caruso did.
Six years later and that competitive fire still burns deep inside James and Caruso. However, instead of teaming up to win another title, they’re battling on opposite sides.
And it got heated Thursday night.
With 22.2 seconds remaining in the third quarter and the Lakers trailing 92-80, cameras overhead an NSFW argument between James and Caruso while OKC’s Ajai Mitchell was shooting free throws.
Appearing tocomplain about the officiating— avery hot topic during the gameand whenever the Thunder play — James began barking at Caruso, who fired right back.
The entire exchange was caught on camera.
James: “Every f–king call. No AC f–k that.”
Caruso: “I don’t give a f–k about none of that s–t.”
