“LeBron James and all his followers have the same trait… a bunch of crybabies!”: NBA Twitter explodes as a wild stat exposes Lakers fans for complaining the most about referees

A wild Twitter analysis exposes LeBron James and the Lakers’ fanbase for complaining the most about referees out of all the teams in the NBA.

It is pretty common for NBA players to not like the referees when a call is not given in their favor. Over the past few seasons, the player’s hate towards referees’ calls has drastically increased. Superstars like LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Draymond Green, among many others, have had received several technical fouls, and even fines for openly criticizing the style of refereeing.

Certain NBA teams’ fans have also gained a reputation for complaining about the officiating. Recently, a wild stat, analyzed by “BetOnline.ag” using Twitter data, exposed the Los Angeles Lakers’ fanbase as the one who complain the most about the referees.

According to the stat, the Lakers (more than 4,000 complaints) were followed by the fanbases of the Knicks (almost 2,500), the Nets (almost 2,000), the Bulls (more than 1,500), and the Warriors (almost 1,500) as the top 5 on the infamous list.

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers, the Thunder, the Raptors, the Pelicans, and the Grizzlies were the bottom-most teams on the same list.
