Referee Brian Forte: “Hey LeBron, enough!” LeBron: “Don’t talk to me like I’m a kid!”

The Derrick Rose-less Bulls pushed around the Heat Friday in Miami, collected 19 offensive rebounds, and left South Beach with a 96-89 victory. The bigger story was a referee finally standing up to LeBron James.

A frustrated LeBron (30 points), was lobbying for a call he wasn’t going to get in the 4th quarter, and referee Brian Forte got annoyed, shouting, “HEY LEBRON, ENOUGH!” which had to surprise everyone within earshot.

LeBron, with a shocked look on his face, snapped back, and then Ray Allen was tasked with the job of getting LeBron over to the Heat bench. LeBron verbally abused him, telling Allen “get the fuck off of me” as he pulled his arm away from the veteran’s grasp.

Still like LeBron regardless of this incident. Watched a handful of MIA games this year, and I think LeBron is a selfless player, unless his shitty sidekick Wade. Now, he can the fock off the court.

I guess not having a foul called on him in 5 games isn’t enough for him

The ref tried to call a delay of game on LeBron because he shot the ball after the Bulls called a timeout. Then the ref got made because he sucks at his job and couldn’t admit that he was wrong
