REVEALED: What LeBron James and Ime Udoka said to each other to spark ugly sideline confrontation in Lakers-Rockets game

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. 

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.
