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."
Cavs even series with Celts
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.

Damn, that was some funny shit. "My Baby, My Baby". Now, I don't condone Lebron yelling at his mom like that on National TV. I know my mom would have been on the court beating my ass. Then telling me to sit my ass down. I understand his anger and frustration though, what grown ass man wants his mama to come to his aid in a fight. I mean Lebron is already labeled a Crybaby and now this. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mama's Boy T-shirts in Boston tonight. I hope they are sponsored by Mercedes or Cadillac, so we can get .23 cent Lacs and Benzs instead of pizza this time. I would be the first person in line for those. In that picture it looks like Lebron is about to beat her ass and KG, Pierce is holding him back. I hope that these dudes and pull out a victory in Boston tonight, Lebron needs to have one of those Jordan games tonight. GO CAVS!!!
