LeBron James is usually one of the calmest players on the court. The King stays out of altercations as much as possible.
But even James can lose his composure at times. A recent example of it was when LeBron and Aaron Gordon got into it in the second quarter of Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. A professional lip reader (@legendz_nba) on Twitter posted a clip deciphering what James told Gordon before shoving him.
LeBron James: « Don’t f**k with me. »
Aaron Gordon: « Says who? »
LeBron James: « Why did you do that s**t? This dude is f*****g around with my arm. You’re acting normal? Then stop talking to me.

LeBron James was understandably frustrated with Aaron Gordon as he repeatedly messed around with his arm. On top of that, the King also had the pressure of winning the game to stretch the series.
Despite dropping 40 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists while playing 48 minutes, the Lakers ended up losing 111-113. As a result, the Lakers were swept by the Nuggets.
