New footage reveals what Los Angeles Lakers legend LeBron James and Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said to each other before both picked up a technical foul and Udoka was ejected.
‘Stop crying like b***hes man, stop b****ing,’ Udoka said loud enough for James to hear.
‘We’re all grown men. Nah, that b***h word ain’t cool, don’t use it so loosely,’ James retorted to Udoka during the fourth quarter.
‘Yeah, I said it,’ Udoka responded.
‘Don’t use that word so loosely,’ James repeated three times.
Ime Udoka and LeBron James both picked up technical fouls after arguing with each other
Udoka was ejected as a result of the incident, while James was able to play the rest of the game
‘What are you gonna do about what I said?’ Udoka said to James. ‘Walking over here like you’re gonna do something. Soft a** boy.’
After this comment, the referee issued a double technical foul and ejected Udoka. But that wasn’t the last word exchanged between the pair.
Udoka headed to the locker room early because he’d already received a technical foul in the game.
‘Stop b****ing, acting like you’re going to do something.’ Udoka concluded.
The back and forth began when James shouted the word ‘travel’ in regards to a dribble from Houston’s Alperen Sengun, which wasn’t called.
James scored 16 points in the Lakers’ 107-97 win over the Rockets.
