And the Winner for Best Actor… LeBron James
The Twitter world exploded at the clown that is known as “The King.” Is this your king?

I mean, props to him. LeBron put together a better performance against the Warriors last night than he did in the “Trainwreck” movie. He must have been taking acting classes and they look to be paying off. The Academy has no choice but to hand over the golden statuette.
I’m not completely salty. He hit one of the clutchest shots in NBA play-in tournament history. It was a hell of a shot as the clock was expiring. What pissed me off was what he had to say postgame on ESPN with Rachel Nichols.
"After Draymond's finger to the eye, I was literally seeing three rims out there," James said. "So I just shot at the middle one.”
I really can’t even with this guy anymore. Do you think you sound cool when you say cheesy stuff like that? You cry all game and have to say something like that after a victory. Just be humble, don’t be so petty.
Even Curry was disgusted with what LeBron had to say to him after the game was over. Look at Curry’s reaction to when LeBron alluded to his eyes/face as they were leaving the court.
Incredible battle.

It’s not like this was the only incident from LeBron. He was flopping all over the court, complaining about calls to the refs consistently throughout the entire game. He even has Anthony Davis acting like a Hollywood star on the hardwood.
It’s just not basketball.
