Black mamas are never above putting you in your place — never mind that you're a world-renowned basketball player with plenty of praise and accolades to go around.
LeBron James learned this lesson on Sunday night in the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves. James struggled from time to time as MSN Sports reports he fouled three times.
Despite the setbacks, James persevered as he garnered 32 points, made 13 assists and scored six out of eight shots at the three-point line. The Lakers went on to take the crown for the game in a final of 142-125.
With four minutes left in the second quarter and a risk of fouling himself out and earning a seat on the bench for the remainder of the game, an obviously frustrated James let out a passionate "f**k!" to which a court side viewer was seen mouthing a stern "watch your mouth," before looking away in disgust, as relayed by Complex Sports. It's unclear whether the woman is in fact anyone's mama, but from the looks of it, she'd make a damn good one.

It's unclear if James heard the spectator, but after this he may opt to mutter choice words under his breath though the nature of the game has proven to produce otherwise. Since catching wind on social media, there've been some responses to James' potty mouth:
"Watch your mouth"

If this was a church league game, his mom wouldn’t have been there and that would have been one of her friends who would’ve snitched on him
