The worst thing a player can hear... “Mark Schwartz, ESPN here...”
@Shem Casimir he does it all the time
Shem Casimir : Mark Schwartz is a horrible reporter. Look at videos of the stupid questions he asks lmao
@Zabuza Momochi mark Schwartz is actually the worst reporter ever
For real mark is stupid he always ask dumb questions
😂😂😂
Bro picked up his purse with supreme regal intensity. LOL
SONGODTV 😂🤣
Lmfaoooo
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
😂
Regal intensity!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As soon as lebron heard 'Mark swartz espn' he had a headache.
a LeHeadache
i laughed immediately he stood up and started leaving
I did too. The ultra tight suit and glasses he put on made it even funnier. And the fact he just left those folks.
I did to an kept repeating doing it that shit was funny 😆
Rubmeet Off What a diva😂
Facts
Rubmeet Off i remember seeing this in on tv and thinking he looked like ray charles for a moment.
This mans asked the same questions 5 times 😂😂😂
fr lmao
Maybe J.R Smith saw over 14 million possible outcomes, and this is the only one where they win the series
Romerius Caples underrated comment
Romerius Caples you might be on to something
If they win I’m comin back to this comment lmao
U ain’t right for this comment ha but I’m gonna come back to this if they win
I'm devastated about the loss, but that was the best comment ever
I’ve watched this interview so many times and what absolutely kills me is the camera work 😭😭😭😭
It cuts back and forth like a sit com and lebron’s dead pan responses have me crying 😂😂
right☠️☠️
lmao like an episode of the office
Bro I swear to god 😂😂😂😂😂
I've watched this video a year later still laughing
😂😂
Legend has it that this “reporter” is still asking LeBron if JR knew the score.
Jason Silvestri 😅
Jason Silvestri still is till this day
🤣😂😂
Lol
Well said
here's me thinking he's all businesslike till he gets up and hes wearing shorts lmao
P Skrill bruh
@T C I’m literally dying right now 😭 I didn’t even pay attention to that until this comment. That made it even funnier🤣🤣
Yeooo🤣🤣🤣 i aint even notice till i saw this comment
T C omg never noticed that shit!! So fucking funny
Haha lol
I’m not a Lebron fan but he did the right thing to walk away from a repeated stupid question. He answered you the first time.
How many times you seen Jordan walk out after a dumb question? He wants to be better than Jordan, his words.
He is better than him ,see how he controls that game ,with all those wannabe on the others side.
@Billy Corners how often did Jordan get asked dumb questions huh? Especially the same question with different wording. He answered it the first time. Any reporter that asks the same question that many times when it was already answered and then ask everyone on both teams the same question is clearly looking to stir up shit. In this case more controversy
Billy Corners how many times has Lebron punched his teammates?
Actually, he didn't. The reporter asked if he thought JR knew the score, and he said 'How would I know?'
Maybe because you asked him at some point? I know he doesn't want to call out JR for making a crucial mistake, but he still comes off as an asshole.
This is one of the funniest moments in sports history
No cap I use his GIF all the time🤣🤣🤣
And the best moments
@@michaelkirschner6009 I'm a LeBron fan. This top 3 funniest moments in sports 😭

When the teacher says your attendance does not matter 😂😂
😂😂😂
LMAOO
I’m gone lol
LOL
Yuhuhuh
I don’t even think this walk off was completely about what happened in the game, that reporter just kept asking the same question after he’d already given an answer.
Not to mention that he was already frustrated after a tough loss
Theodore Boyd Yea, for sure.
The Anime Dude Yeah, And not to mention he was pissed off because the refs single handely ruined the game and handed the win to Golden State. I wouldn't want k answer a damn question after that Bullshit ending to that game.
The Anime Dude you are probably right. He's probably a writer than wants a specific response that will fuel his pre-written article about the game being LeBron's fault for only scoring 50+ points
And how the Hell would Bron know someone else's state of mind?
LeBron said:🚶🏾♂️💼
Eut?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
when im feeling down or stressed out, i always go back to watch this clip 😂😂😂
So much was goin on here lmao surreal seeing it live
LeBrons cometitiveness on a different level
bro that what im doing rn
Yep here again
Yep me too 😂
“How do I know that?” Gets me every time 😂😂😂😂…the frustration in his voice 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I laughed at that the hardest! 😂
🤣
Me too 😂
Dude asked the same question again and again. I would’ve left too
it's cause bron is lying and they all know it, he can't take the heat so he had to get outta the kitchen
right, like how tf you supposed to know someone's state of mind
Of course Lebron knew, u could see him and jR talking after the play. Looking suspect in those shorts 😂
roundingcorners wtf are you talking about he clearly said he was aware of the score. Jr was aware of the score as well. Like come on you been in the league 10+ years & you don't know the score ? BULLSHIT it's rigged anyway
JR could be trying to cover his ass. . . if you think Lebron is going to call a timeout, why don't you call a timeout yourself instead of waiting? Lebron is seen as the leader of this team, obviously someone of his stature asks his teammate "what are you doing???" even off the court.
I can't stop watching this. I literally holler at 1. His level of frustration at the redundant, dumb questions and 2. Him getting up, picking up his purse and walking out. This is a classic right here 😂
You are my soulmate 😍❤️
I was cheering for the Warriots but i thought LeBron handle that nicely until he got up and i saw he was wearing shorts then grabbed his man purse like please dont tell me he gonna be like Bruce Jenner later.

U mean a false paster lol
I just love how nobody was surprised or pissed he left
they just thought "yeah same"🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He asked bron the same question twice 😂😂😂 walked out like wtf did I just tell u 🤦♂️
Lebron answered the question twice: "I don't know what he was thinking" and " I don't know what his state of mind was" and yet the reporter kept asking over. Unethical.
It was actually at least three times because he reiterated that he didn't talk to J.R. The reporter asks three different versions of the same question. So it's likely at least four times. That guy knew what he was doing, and he got what he wanted. To be a part of the moment, in a way refs can interject themselves into the moment. That's why I refuse to use his name. I shouldn't even have commented, but everyone else is. So I wanted to point out exactly the extent and intent.
Samantha Heron Well, Lebron was lying, and was playing dumb, which can be frustrating when you’re asking a simple question. If you watch the tape of him and JR jawing at one another, you can clearly see JR mouth that he thought they were ahead. This is just Lebron being a salty bitch because they lost; if they had won in overtime, he would not have had that reaction to the restating of a simple question that he should(does) know the answer to. #facts
I don't even like LeBron and even I think that wasn't cool on that reporters part.
LeBron James shirt and tie with shorts lol dam everyone had their head up their ass today it seems ... rigged game though ... they rigged LeBrons fouled they overturned which is totally rigged
realmatic10
It was about team morale. Why throw your teammate under the bus, just to answer a question of a reporter? Makes no sense.
Checking in 2020... still a CLASSIC😭😭😭💯
I'm checking In 2022🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had to watch this again

Joshua Pierce he had that mad mama walk 😂😂😂

The shades and the staring into the lights set it off too.
It's the shorts and the shades and what looks like an oversized clutch ... I'm dying LOLOLOLOLOL
To this day this is some seriously funny shit 🤣🤣🤣
J Money between this and when kawhi said “I’m a gun guy” and doing the laugh I don’t know which makes me laugh more I be weakkkk
Literally just watched it again and I’m crying 😂. Mark asked the same question 3 different ways🤦🏾♂️
J Money to this day and forever
how is that funny? I feel sorry for LeBron.
@@ammarbarri4331 lol
He didn't forget his $41000 bag before he walked away, haha!
It was pretty hardcore until he picked up that man purse.
11Dubs30 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
11Dubs30 🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆
Bro those shorts as well as that bag. When you run out of things to spend money on
lol the murse! 😂
11Dubs30 probably cost more than your house tho😧
You can tell he was trying to keep his composure the whole entire time
Lebron picked up his purse and left like a mom who just got told she can’t use her coupon a week after the expiration date
😭😂😭
😂😂😂🤷
If karen was a black stud
This aged poorly lol Lakers in 5
@@johngladman4291 this also aged poorly
"What do you mean I'm not sure?" He was trying to intimidate Lebron. Lol.
They try to make the players look stupid
“What do you mean what’s my version”
Javale mcgee: my blown wide open dunk has to be the most idiotic highlight in finals history.
JR smith: hold my beer
Hyugo Boss man you just make my day bro,i'm 4 real,got me cracking up here!!!
*hold my weed
Hyugo Boss lmfao
I legit forgot about that cause of JR 😂😂
*“Hold My Hennessy”
How many versions of a "No" does this guy need to give up his stupid question?
Fábio Rezende lol
Lebron was acting like he didnt understand english and confused asf. So the reported had to change his questions simpler every time which made it repetative
Tropics 317
What part of he doesn't know was hard to understand? He _literally_ doesn't know, so ask him a different question or shut up.
He is a journalist. He is supposed to ask these obvious questions at a press conference.
Fábio Rezende
"Did you know if he knew the score?"
LeBron got up like "Man F**k this"
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Yes 😂😂😂
1:50 the guy next to Mark he’s trying hard not to bust out laughing 🤣🤣
Thats a hell of a journalist next to him. Forgot his name but he always asks damn good questions has done so over Bron’s whole career. He an ESPN guy.
I’ve never seen LeBron so pissed before
TheHSdropout the king of NBA finals losses
watch him yell at Mario chalmers back in Miami
Ricardo Lozano elgin baylor?????
He wasn't pissed but upset with his teammates.
Hell nah he was mad
lebron's expectations are so high now that he's expected to be a mind-reading psychic able to know what his teammates are thinking on the court. this is getting ridiculous lmao.
I'm pretty sure it was being assumed that LeBron and jr talked after the game about it LeBron just being a lil ass girl fr fr
Just like when he's Tryna start shit with curry small ass like the lil girl LeBron is
maybe they didnt? how do you know you wernt there
As ridiculous as those shorts and his purse!!!!
That punk knew, him & jR spoke right after the play. Bron fans sum gullible lil girls
This was hilarious on so many levels… his frustration with the questions. The questions asked by the reporter, then ending with Lebron getting up and walking out with the shorts suit lol 😆
I love how there complete silence as he leaves, I can hear every footstep
This man got up like someone’s aunt leaving church early. 😂😂 threw the shades on, picked the purse up 🔥. JR you’ve really pissed this man off
vincejr100 😂😂😂😂

good job bro
Super facts
I was weak. 😅😂😭 Lebron is too funny. I wish I was friends with Lebron. Lucky Lebron is nice cause only gods know what would of happen if that was Russell Westbrook.
2:00 you can see the guy behind the reporter hang his head like "just stfu man"
1:20 the way lebron put his hand up and said "NO"😂😂😂
Im surprised none of the reporters asked the historic “did they win the game or did you guys lose the game?” 😂😂😂
Hyugo Boss lol 😂 😂 😂
Ahhh a classic
Man really asked him the same shit multiple times lmao
GhettoJesus lmao on me I’d go off on that man
Daniel Roberts
Wtf is a "boo-hoo"? Sounds like something a fuckin lame would say...gtfo
@Daniel Roberts Nigga you lame shut the fuck up.
Cracked out fr
If your watching this in 2023 your a real one 😂
Still come back to this comedy gold every once and a while. Funniest interview I’ve watched 😂😂
It's so surreal, how calm and professional he is after that game. Respect.
@Brian Kaye having a teammate forget the score of the game and dribble the clock out with a chance to win, or having another teammate miss his free throws with a chance to win and avoid overtime as well
@@persistentlypathetic6820 that’s gotta be a most upset loss
1:45 homeboy next to the guy asking the questions is like oh lord you're getting LeBron mad
AdamBomb
Yes you could actually see that from that guys face
AdamBomb that's exactly what the reporters supposed to do ask stupid questions and get under your skin they're not there to be your friend
but lets not be repetitive about it either...or you end up with a walk out....like so.
Gregory Sweer that reporter was just being a dick lebron answered the same question 5 times
Gregory Sweer yeah exactly what they're suppose to do, make the player walk out... clearly he failed at his job
But did you know what he was thinking?
LMFAO I'm dead
This will forever be funny 🤣🤣 lebron has left the building with his bag
And in his bag 😂😂
Asking the same question over and over gets you the same answer...FOH
Exactly...smh. Ask Smith!
Must y'all bring race into everything?! Grow the hell up PLEASE !
My bad y’all, I forgot how to count the score to see if we were up
You childish as hell bruh😂😂😂
J.R Smith lol nice one
Jr you a donkey bruh
JR, I am huge fan of your game, I feel soooooo bad for you in game 1. Don't know why people are blaming you for game 1 when idiot Hill missed the FT
Remember, cereal first then the milk.
“How do i know that ?🧐” 1:15 😭😭
That “ How do I know that “ be having me crying 😂😂😂
What about the way Mark said "Salted away" and "did you if he knew the score" lol gets me everytime
@@TheEmperorRaidou All of it dawg lmao
Reporter trying to get Bron to push JR under the bus but he did that to himself
JR is fucking trash, lebron isnt throwing him under the bus because he doesnt want to start shit with the team which would destroy any potential of him winning. When the finals are over JR is gonna get fucked in the ass.
Iceteakilla ehhhhh...not trash. He been playin defense these playoffs. He ain’t been the scorer we know but he been playin defense. Everybody mad because he didn’t call timeout but it’s five other guys who could have called it
YUP. didn't work. time for game 2. over the many mistakes, greens foot on the line with hill , the charge call when it was clear that lebrons feet were planted, and of course Jr smith. but we have more games to play. uplift, come out and work game 2. lets see what happens.. 51 points... the goat.. LETS GO CAVS!!
Courtney R I don’t blame JR one bit
Courtney R
Let's not act like he didn't walk out like yo mama at a parent teacher conference.

“What do you mean what’s my version.” 😂😂😂😂
I use his walk giphy as an exit from a convo every time someone says something stupid 😂😂😂
Lol he knew those last 2 questions were turning into 20 questions JR edition.
lmao right, not to mention he just kept rephrasing the question to ask the same thing
His last question was actually valid. Did he know what the score was?
LeBron walks out......
nico yea valid question for Smith to answer. Lebron wanted to move on and not keep talking about the same thing. He got next game to look forward to.
Detroit Dawg then say go ask jr and not just walk away. Lol
I think he said "they asked me already" & "I don't know what his state of mind was during that." prior to that question lol
It was quiet as hell when he walked out. 😂
Handsome B. Wonderful that was mark the dumb ass who kept asking the question
Handsome B. Wonderful Bandwagoner
He was so done 😂😂😂 “How do I know that”
This will forever be one of the funniest things to ever grace the internet😂💀
JR Smith how do I SAY GOODBYE
Tony Hemetona rats tuff
Funniest thing ever. The reporter must be sipping out of the same drink as JR Smith.

He gone! His bags are already packed.
Bags packed for houston

I am pleased to announce Mark Swartz officially retired January 28th, 2022😂
I love how he just takes his sweet time to grab his stuff and does it so calmly😂😂 Idk why I find tgis video so funny

That's right, dont throw your teamates under the bus Bron, Stevie Wonder can see J.R thought they was up 1(it happens)

I think we’re the only two people who watched the full game, brother. 👌🏻
LeoIsWet5 lmfao u can tell LeBron wanna kill JR rn🤣
He looks like stevie wonder the way he walked out lol
COOKINGWITHDOUG how is he throwing them under the bus by telling the truth? JR Smith says that he knew the game was tied.
This never gets old😂😂
The walk out will never get old 🤣🤣🤣

That reporter wouldn’t stop! Such disrespect and trying to provoke lebron to say something. He had every reason to walk out
(Cough cough, Westbrook) “Next Question” these reporters are a real joke. He wanted to talk to Lebron so bad that he didn’t even know the words coming out his mouth was 💩.
Aaaand I still can’t stop watching this. Never gets old! 😎👜😂😂😂
2:02 what ur looking for
I feel for LeBron man 😢 😢 😔
He needs more help!
Did you feel the same way when he joined the heat ?
He makes millions and gets praised like a God. No need to feel sorry. He can take that. He should.
Spidey7747 he shoudlve tookin the last shot, why the hell is he looking for a pass
Al Aguilera Lmaooooo
He won't sell out his teammates or bad mouth them. Goat in my opinion
Lmfao he throws his team under the bus all the time
plinio silva why wouldn't he
Nah, he just trades them out if they don't drink the Lebron kool aid
He's done it before tho
Jason He’s did earlier this season when he said the Cavs are “too top heavy”.
Why did he as jr what he was thinking instead of asking lebron what jr was thinking
“Did you know if he knew the score?” 😂 they really think they out smarting someone asking the question ina different way ... or maybe they looking for reactions
Actually I don't blame him. He already answered the question a few questions ago. How many times are you going to ask me the same question? lol I would have did the same exact thing.
that reporter was fishing hard to get a sound bite from Lebron throwing his teammates under the bus, Lebron knew it and wasnt having it
Victor Huu True!
Why the reporter tryna interrogate bron bron 🤔
well they want him to throw JR under the bus....they want some juicy drama and lebron was like "eat a dick"
nikewarrior24 as many time as a reporter once you too until you say something stupid they are there to get under your skin not to be your friend
Walk out with that hand bag and your head, held high labron! U go girl!!
dantespraggs, hahaha! 😀
I can't feel my ribs😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was laughing to hard I died cause I forgot to take a breath
Lol!!!!
Haha
This remains legendary and one of my favorite gifs to use in 2021 😂
Did LeBron really just grab his purse????
Johnny Jones 😂🤣 he sure did and his shades I’m shocked he didn’t snap his fingers
That’s a handbag
Johnny Jones it’s not a purse
Same stupid question over and over again! Lebron was right to just leave.
reg sim facts
reg sim That reporter shouldn’t have asked it even I was annoyed when he tried to ask it a different way
Night Reapers isn’t that the reporters job?
SimonLYW Yeah but Lebron had already answered the question. Plus how is he supposed to know what's going on in another human being's mind. I Don't blame Lebron for getting frustrated and walking off. It was a dumb ass question
reporter was fishing hard for a sound bite from Lebron throwing his teammates under the bus, Lebron knew it and wasnt having it
He didn't just walk out he tried to answer the question multiple times but the reporter kept asking essentially the same question. He was done he already answered the question
"reporter kept axing essentially"
FTFY

That's essentially what briefcases are...
I am guessing you did not notice the shorts at first as well.
your auntie has a man purse?
That is not a Damn briefcase.
It looks more like a $10,000 gym bag.
I still come back to this vid and laugh everytime 🤣
Jr Smith cost job the game and LeBron James if LeBron James stayed next season y'all know JR Smith is getting traded right
