Los Angeles Laker LeBron James walked off the basketball court with a scowl
on his face with about ten seconds left on the clock Sunday night. James and company were down by 11-points in Game 3 when he pivoted toward the sideline and left his teammates hanging.

The Lakers took the loss over the Miami Heat, a team James used to play for.

�This is not a good look,� ESPN broadcaster Mark Jackson said of James� walk-off.

As seen in a clip of the game posed by SportsCenter, after James walks off
the court with 10 seconds on the clock, one of the game announcers notes
that the Lakers �need five guys to finish the game.� James heads to the
locker room with a scowl on his face.

James made it clear after the game that he intentionally walked off the
court early, apparently frustrated with the loss.

�When you walked off the court with about ten seconds left, was that out of frustration, or did you think the game was over?� one reporter asked the
hoop star post-game.

�Both,� the L.A. Laker responded.

As noted by Fox News, James led his team with 25 points, 10 rebounds, and
eight assists, but was �clearly frustrated with a late foul call and the 20 Lakers turnovers that ultimately put the team in a hole early and cost them down the stretch.�

On the other side, Heat star Jimmy Butler finished with 40 points, 11
rebounds, and 13 assists, Fox noted, adding, �Miami needed all 45 minutes of Butler�s play to get the victory as they were without Bam Adebayo and Goran Dragic for the second straight night due to injuries. Butler was 14-for-20
from the field and 12-for-14 at the free-throw line.�

The Heat are still down in the series to the Lakers, two games to one.

James has garnered headlines in recent months as he�s ramped up his left-
wing political activism�both on and off the court.

Last month, the superstar sported a political hoodie on the Lakers bus that said, �Change isn�t made from watching on the sidelines.�

The sweatshirt, according to Vogue, is from James� More Than a Vote
collection, and is sold at $55 a pop, per his website.

Aside from selling fashionable and politically-charged hoodies and hats, the More Than a Vote foundation, founded by James, seeks to diminish alleged
voter suppression, with an emphasis on giving felons voting rights:

The Daily Wire reported in July that James dumped $100,000 into
the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition through his �More Than A
Vote� organization, which is comprised of black athletes and
artists working to combat �systemic, racist voter suppression.�

James, whose net worth is estimated at $450 million, said in July that there
is no �movement� for black Americans in the U.S. �When you�re black, it�s
not a movement. It�s a lifestyle,� he said, later adding, �I don�t like the word �movement� because, unfortunately, in America and in society, there
ain�t been no damn movement for us.�
