Video: LeBron James Seen Cursing at Lakers Teammates in Loss to Mavericks
- Updated: December 2, 2019

The Los Angeles Lakers lost their first game in 11 matchups on Sunday when they fell to the Dallas Mavericks, 114-100.
Right before the end of the first half of that game, Lakers star LeBron James was seen being quite vocal with his teammates.

James finished the night with a sublime 25 points, nine rebounds, eight assists and four steals. Still, it wasn’t enough to defeat Luka Doncic and the Mavs.
Despite that, the passion and competitive spirit that James displayed should be encouraging to Lakers fans. Last season, experts and fans alike questioned whether or not James was still as passionate about winning as he had been throughout the rest of his career.
Videos like this prove that his competitive fire is burning as bright as ever.
Following the loss, James and his teammates will have to gear up for another hard-fought battle. They’ll face the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.
