In dreams, it’s conceivable to have a 78-0 record versus someone in a professional sport. LeBron James‘ unbeaten record versus referee Scott Foster, though, was the subject of a trending message from an NBA meme page on Twitter. In an alternate reality, this is a scenario that is conceivable, but not in our own. James and Foster have most likely missed more than 50 games since their last appearance together.

The meme account conned the entire internet. Similar to this, a tweet concerning James’ record that was sent out earlier and featured Eric Lewis as the referee went viral. The page also made the utterly incorrect assertion that Lewis is officiating and that the King is 0-82. Despite the falsity of these reports, Foster and Lewis have an odd history with LeBron.

Lewis once played poorly when the Los Angeles Lakers faced the Boston Celtics. Numerous calls were made against the Lakers by the referee for contacts that never occurred. As an NBA official, Scott Foster, on the other hand, has a bad reputation. James and he last interacted during the Suns vs. Lakers playoff matchup two years ago. Even commentators criticized Foster for supposedly calling unnecessary fouls.
Why is Scott Foster disliked by NBA fans?
a devotedChris Paulstan would explore this issue in a book. Scott Foster is not well-known for his decision-making or refereeing abilities. The NBA official has received numerous criticisms from league players and fans. Foster has a particularly strong dislike for CP3 among the players. Paul is not the only athlete to have issues with Scott’s officiating, though.
Scott Foster is a seasoned member of the referee’s association despite having the entire basketball community on his tail. In the early 1990s, he began his career as an NBA official and refereed games for a number of prominent players throughout the league. Foster has worked for the NBA for 29 seasons and officiated almost 1700 games. He was a member of the crew who officiated the 2010 Celtics vs. Lakers game.
Foster has even held employment with a college. Foster has never lived up to it, despite his years of expertise. He was chosen as the worst referee ever in a social media survey conducted by NBA sites. Tony Brothers, another official infamous for making irrational decisions, was also featured in this vote. Because of how awful Foster is, fans have even asked the league to fire him.
