How would you like to be the referee who injured LeBron James in his MVP season as he’s leading his team to a potential title? Luckily for one referee, that was not the scenario that played out. But it looked like it might be headed that way Sunday night.
James plowed over referee Derek Richardson late in the game after shooting a 3 pointer. The two collided at mid-court and Richardson popped immediately back up. James lay on the court for several moments as a stunned Cleveland crowd looked on. Fortunately for Richardson, James only had the wind knocked out of him. If he had been injured any worse, this post would be about the killing of referee Derek Richardson.
James was in good humor after the game saying, “Flagrant-2. They should have kicked him out.”
