LeBron James has fulfilled the secret dream of many players, and perhaps of his pal Chris Paul: to open the lip of referee Scott Foster, one of the least appreciated men in gray on the circuit.
The incident took place at the end of the 1st half when LeBron collided with the referee on a breakaway sprint.
