LeBron James explodes at teammate during a timeout, has to be held back

The King stay the King.

THE MIAMI HEAT have generally downplayed their budding rivalry with the Indiana Pacers this year.

But things were clearly tense on the Miami bench last night. During the third quarter, LeBron James lunged at teammate Mario Chalmers during a timeout. Udonis Haslem held him back.

Heated, scroll for the full video (via Bleacher Report):

Chalmers appeared to be yelling at LeBron about something right before he snapped. Here’s the look he gave him:

As announcers Mike Breen and Doug Collins said during the broadcast, Chalmers has been the little brother figure for this Heat team. He’s always getting yelled at, particularly in high-stress situations. This is nothing new, there was a whole ESPN.com feature about it last year.

LeBron’s explosion probably says more about how seriously they’re taking the Pacers than anything to do with Chalmers. He later apologised, and the Heat won 97-94:

    Same thing happened to Liverpool with the Ukrainian in January. Met the release clause but the owner refused to sell.
    As Henry said, contracts don’t mean anything, if a club doesn’t want to sell, nothing much the player can do.

    Maybe i’m wrong on this, but couldn’t Suarez now sue for danages for breach of contract or to have his contract cancelled

    If Liverpool wouldn’t sell was this clause null and void then? Did arsenal actually talk to Suarez or were they rebuff by Liverpool?
