LeBron took a hit to the face from Green and stayed down on the court while officials reviewed the foul for a potential flagrant call.

“After Draymond’s finger to the eye, I was literally seeing three rims out there,” LeBron said to ESPN’s Rachel Nichols. “I just shot for the middle one.”

Many viewers criticized LeBron for his reaction to the contact, with Paige Spiranac joining in to mock his acting skills.

“Space Jam 2 is going be great. LeBron is a superb actor,” tweeted Spiranac, a former collegiate golfer turned sports media personality.
