LeBron yells at mom to sit down after hard foul

Gloria James doesn't like to see her little boy get beat up

So when she saw Paul Pierce drag LeBron James into the crowd on a drive to the basket, Gloria jumped up to his defense.

Now, she might want to wash LeBron's mouth out with soap.

As Gloria approached the scuffle, Cleveland's star forward told his mom to sit down, using language that might have offended a few lipreaders.

"I told her to sit down with some language I shouldn't have used. Thank God today wasn't Mother's Day, it was yesterday," James said after Monday night's 88-77 victory.

But James swears he was just looking out for her, trying to make sure she doesn't miss any games.

"Even though that's my mother, the commissioner doesn't care if it's your mother or your kids or anybody, you can't allow fans and players to get involved like that. And I can't afford for my mom not to be at every last one of my games."

Kevin Garnett, trailing on the play, tried to calm her and Wally Szczerbiak approached her for a high five, but Gloria James was too angry to pay attention to either.

Szczerbiak was impressed. "She was fired up. It was great. She was animated, she was pumped up. She's LeBron's mother, she was obviously amped up like the rest of the crowd."

She returned to her seat shortly after, and the Cavs went on to win Game 4 and even the series against the Celtics at two games apiece.

Okay, honestly...I can kinda relate.

Have YOU ever had a moment when your Momma went a LIIIIITTTLLLEEE too far in defending you, her BABY???

Me?  I was a thrower in high school so when regular track season started, our coach (a jack ass if there ever was one) made this little information packet.  Well, to begin with, it was filled with all types of statements like "play through the pain" and "don't complain unless you're REALLY injured."  I mean, stuff you hear often but the way it was presented, it seemed like we'd only be excused from practice if our leg got sawed off or we were shot rather than a pulled or strained muscle (which can be huge for anyone on a track team).  So when the athletic department held their Spring athlete/parent conference, my mom WENT.OFF.  Except, she didn't go off on the coach, she went off on the athletic director, who really hadn't looked at the packet and had no idea what was going on.  I was embarassed so I kept sliding down in my seat until I was practically on the floor because, at the time, I didn't realize that it was probably better for her to ask the A.D. about it instead of the coach.  I just looked at it as her going off on the wrong person.
