LeBron James was out of action on Tuesday when the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the San Antonio Spurs in a hard-fought overtime victory. However, there's no denying that his presence was felt throughout the contest.

At one point, LeBron was caught on video passionately dishing out instructions to Lakers teammate Malik Monk. At that point, it looked like the four-time NBA champ was gunning for Frank Vogel's head coaching post:

LeBron has definitely seen the video and has since reacted to the now-viral moment (h/t Angelo Guinhawa on Twitter):

James re-posted a still from his Coach Bron moment and explained that in his mind, it's all about helping his Lakers teammates raise their level of greatness. Based on the exchange we saw from Tuesday's game, it is clear that LeBron really, really wants Malik Monk to be great.

James is currently dealing with an ankle problem and has now been ruled out for a second consecutive game. LeBron will be sitting out the Lakers' Wednesday night bout against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Nevertheless, you can be sure that Coach Bron will be pretty active from the sidelines in this one.

It is also worth noting that Anthony Davis has been tagged as questionable for Wednesday after suffering a knee injury against the Spurs.
