Fans divided after LeBron James' Lakers teammates do goat noises during his interview

LeBron James conducted one of the funniest post-game interviews following his side’s 135-133 win over the Utah Jazz.

The King tried his hardest to keep a straight face as his teammates attempted to make him crack with goat noises.

The Lakers star was surrounding reporters trying to get their question in and even as James was trying to get a word in all you could hear were his fellow mates serenading the GOAT.

The noises were initiated by DeAngelo Russel in the background before growing to presumably the entire locker room was in on the act.

It was a hilarious way for the team to show how grateful they were for his performance against the Jazz.

The antics also finally made James crack a smile despite the 38-year-old trying to maintain his composure throughout the interview.

It almost ended in disaster for the Los Angeles side who blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter.

LeBron had the chance to win the game at the end of regulation but surprisingly missed a contested layup.

He more than made up for it over time however, powering his way to the hooping and making the layup and pushing the Lakers to victory.

The basketball GOAT admitted that ‘he had to redeem myself at the end of regulation’ after he ‘smoked a layup’.

And from their response, you can tell the Lakers more than appreciated it.

The antics certainly garnered a mixed response online.

One fan wrote: “Lol this guy hasn’t even been to a real playoff series since 2018, they shouldn’t disrespect Michael Jordan like [that].”

Another said: “Lakers are a bunch of grown ass kids.”

A third added: "They were watching The Last Dance maybe?"

However, the majority were in stitches and loved the stunt.

One fan commented: “Most ridiculous post-game interview.”

Another said: “Michael Jordan never had a single teammate love him the way Bron’s teammates do.”

A third added: “Lmfao I love this team.”

That’s one focused LeBron to not crack while all that was going on.
