Live broadcast on December 24-NBA regular season, the Lakers lost to the Hornets 130-134 at home. James made 15 of 23 shots in this game, and got 34 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steals.
After the game, commentator Skip Bayless wrote: I have never seen such a scene. The team is 2 points behind. James is making the breakthrough he should make. I don’t know whether he wants to shoot or pass the ball, but he threw a shoe out! The shoes on his right foot fell out completely! Is the shoelace not tight enough? Then he passed the ball to Schroeder. Schroeder failed to score three points and the Lakers lost. Jordan laughed at LeBlanc somewhere.
