If you think that LeBron James is nothing more than a cheerful spectator in his son's high school basketball games, then you have to see this video clip we have here. In this clip shared by Bleacher Report via Twitter, a seemingly heated LeBron is seen arguing with a referee over a call made during his son's game.

James obviously was not in agreement with the call and had some choice words for the referee.

Unfortunately, the video does not show the circumstances that led to LeBron's increased intensity level, but what is clear is that he was not a happy camper.

To see the four-time MVP arguing a call with a referee in the NBA is uncommon. In fact, James has built quite a reputation as a player that tends to get rather chatty with game officials. Most see this as routine, but there are some who view this to be as excessive and unnecessary complaining.

Nonetheless, LeBron passionately arguing with an official in a game involving teenagers is still something that you don't see every day.

We all know that LeBron is a family man, and this is likely where the overly exuberant fervor he exhibited is coming from. Factoring in his unrivaled competitiveness, James just really wanted to see his son, Bronny win. You can't really fault him on that.
