Asked about his reaction to the fans after snagging his tenth rebound, LeBron stated that one fan was encouraging him for the sake of his wager on the game.
I was like – what? He was like, one more!”
“He definitely yelled at me,” said the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, speaking to reporters after the Lakers clinched a 123-102 win over the Toronto Raptors. “One more rebound! One more rebound! I was like – what? He was like, one more!”
“So, I got one more, and I pointed at him to acknowledge that I was listening.”
The four-time MVP clinched the triple-double, ending with a final tally of 19 points and 16 assists in addition to the ten rebounds.
