LeBron James’ teammates try to disrupt his post-game interviews with hilarious GOAT noises in the locker room — after the Lakers star dropped 37 points in fourth consecutive win
LeBron James was showered with goat noises by his Los Angeles Lakers teammates after leading the team’s fourth consecutive win on Tuesday night.
James, who scored 37 points in Utah’s 135-133 OT victory, was conducting postgame interviews with reporters when his co-workers made sounds similar to the aforementioned farm animal, referencing the nickname GOAT (greatest of all time).
The noises initially began in a hushed fashion before more teammates joined in, causing questions to pause for a moment as reporters laughed.
However, James continued to stay “focused” throughout, barely acknowledging the distraction.
“The last few times LeBron James addressed the media at his locker, his teammates agreed [goat] sounds,” said The Athletic’s Lakers writer Jovan Buha in a tweet.

Of course, The King drew the most attention after scoring the game-winning basket that keeps LA in the Western Conference playoffs.
Currently, the Lakers are ranked No. 7 in the West, meaning they would be in the play-in. The crosstown rival No. 6 seeded Clippers holds the same record (41-38) as Darvin Ham’s squad.
One win ahead is the Warriors (42-38) who have played an extra game compared to the LA franchises. Both the Lakers and Clippers have three games left in the regular season.
