Ime Udoka gave his reasoning for getting into an altercation with LeBron James
Fans are eager to know the reason why Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka was into a verbal altercation with LeBron James. They had a bit of back-and-forth, which resulted in Udoka being ejected by the officials. Recently, the head coach talked about why he got into it with James.
"We want a competitive group, which we do have," Udoka said. "But I talked to the guys about not taking a backseat to anyone. Opponents, as well as teammates and certain guys. We have certain guys who would address it, but we want everyone to be that guy."
James didn't leave the situation without any punishment, as he was given a technical foul at the same time Udoka was ejected. Rockets forward Dillon Brooks criticized the officiating and believed that the referees weren't able to control the situation, which led to his coach getting kicked out of the game.
"A terrible group out there," Brooks said. "They lost control of the game. It’s very inconsistent and that’s what you get from inconsistent — a whole bunch of nonsense...He wasn’t backing down to anybody. He played the game before. We’re still finding our identity as a team, and with our coach standing up for us, it’s a big thing."
The next match between the Rockets and the Lakers will be on Jan. 29, 2024, and fans will tune in to the game.
