The game between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers ended on such a controversial note that it has taken over the NBA world online. Fans, analysts, NBA players, and legends are all reacting and sharing their thoughts on the calls made by the officials. The no-call on LeBron James on the final play by Jayson Tatum left the whole Lakers team and coaching staff frustrated. It got to a point where LeBron James had to react so strongly and protest his case for all to see.

A recent post by a fan started gaining traction in which a frustrated LeBron James’ reaction was compared to the scene from the 2006 movie, ‘Little Miss Sunshine.’ 

NBA fans show no mercy to LeBron James

Fans tend to go to certain extremes at times while making fun of or mocking NBA players.
