LeBron James scolds mom during Cavs-Celtics game

By J.E. Skeets

In the second quarter of tonight's Cavaliers-Celtics game, LeBron James, on a breakaway dunk, was wrapped up by Paul Pierce. The two players became tangled and stumbled their way under the basket near where LeBron's mother sits. Gloria James, being the firecracker that she is, started yelling at Pierce for the hard foul on her son. Here's the video with LeBron's classic reaction — keep an eye on the woman in the white shirt:

Yup. That's LeBron telling his mother to "sit your (butt) down!" Happy Day-After Mother's Day, mom!

    I'm guessing that doesn't help with the crybaby image that LBJ has right now...

    LOL.. lebron wasn't fouled hard by pierce.. that lady was overreacting..
    Anyways, it looks like the cavs will will this series 4-2.. Lebron's dunk over Garnett will get him going.. And my L.A. Lakers will wait for the Cleveland Cavs in the Finals... and sweep 'em clean!
    NBA FINALS:
    LAKERS 4
    PISTONS/CAVS 0

    LeBron has been a saint in dealing with his sometimes overzealous mom in the past. Give him a little breathing room on this one and everybody just chill.

    She heard Paul Pierce was a gangster, that's why...just watching for her son; she don't want her son hanging out with the 'bad kids' in the nba. Did I see Pierce throw another gang sign?

    I don't think its disrespectful. It was the heat of the moment and a little tangle up that wasn't going to escalate to anything. Why did she think it was cool to get into it? Didn't the Malice at the Palace teach fans, mothers or fathers, that fans getting PHYSICALLY involved in basketball games is NOT ok no matter whos mother you are. The words were harsh but come on...its playoff basketball and emotions are intense. I'm sure he had a nice talk with his mom after the game and apologized.
