Was LeBron James' controversial timeout against the Phoenix Suns a legal 'high IQ' play, or did the officials get it wrong?

00:00 Could you all give me like two seconds?
00:02 Oh my God.
00:08 Oh my God.
00:11 That's supposed to be fun, right?
00:16 Man, what a game.
00:20 You guys got the time out from your perspective.
00:23 What kind of happened there?
00:24 Did you get fouled?
00:24 Did you feel like you got fouled over there?
00:27 You're setting me up.
00:28 No, I'm messing with you.
00:29 I thought, you know, D-Book ran into me.
00:33 You know, there was no call and obviously,
00:34 Bron made a, you know, high IQ plays.
00:39 You know, he's probably done a million times in his career.
00:41 You know, the ball's out and they call timeout on loose ball.
00:44 You can't call timeout on loose ball.
00:46 Can't do it.
00:46 So if the whistle blows, I don't know why,
00:49 you know, everything in the league is reviewable.
00:51 I don't know why that can't be reviewable.
00:53 I know it's not a foul or an out of bounds,
00:55 which is like a challenge.
00:57 Okay, but at any point in the game,
00:59 the whistle blows, okay, inadvertently,
01:02 the ref can huddle up and say,
01:03 inadvertent whistle, okay, where were we at during the game?
01:07 Okay, and that did not happen.
01:08 So, extremely disappointing.
01:11 You know what happened, Dwayne.
01:12 I know what you're trying to do.
01:14 The whole world's seen it.
01:15 I just got off social media and other players
01:18 around the league seeing it.
01:19 So, it is what it is.
01:22 You know, refs miss calls sometimes,
01:23 but you know, when they're a bit that obvious,
01:26 you know, it's tough.
01:27 You know, when they put so much anticipation on the game,
01:30 you know, we're not asking for favoritism,
01:32 just a fair chance.
01:33 With this being a tournament, does it feel different
01:35 to lose a game on a call like that or have that play?
