Ahead of their duel with the Brooklyn Nets at Barclay Center, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James wasn't happy that they didn't have any powder for his famous pregame routine.

Peep the clip below. James was repeatedly asking for the powder moments before tip-off. However, his requests seemingly fell on deaf ears. For those have watched James throughout the years know that the powder toss is part of his ritual. Perhaps it's one of the most famous pregame rituals out there.

Did the Nets intentionally take the powder away to piss James off? And in effect, take him out of rhythm? Who knows? But one thing is clear. James doesn't want his routine to be messed up.

Perhaps next time, the Lakers staff should just bring LeBron James' own powder. One can never know the antics that the home team will pull out.
