On the 'Tonight Show,' LeBron James revealed his kids really don't like it when he loses games.

The Cleveland Cavaliers player stopped by _The Tonight Show_ with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night and offered the late-night host a sample of the feedback he gets from his children during his off nights: “Daddy, why did you lose?” “Why didn’t you play well tonight?” “It’s your fault you lost.” We’ll see what they say about his acting skills when he appears in Amy Schumer’s _Trainwreck_ movie, in theaters Friday. For now, watch LeBron play “faceketball” with Fallon — it’s exactly what it sounds like. _Read next:_ [_LeBron James Already Has Some Brilliant Ideas for the_ ](http://time.com/3957429/trainwreck-sequel-amy-schumer-lebron-james/?iid=time%5Freadnext)[Trainwreck _Sequel_](http://time.com/3957429/trainwreck-sequel-amy-schumer-lebron-james/?iid=time%5Freadnext) [_Listen to the most important stories of the day_](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/autoplay/?xid=spl-fullbrief-article) ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] Unless you've bee hiding under a rock since 2003, you probably know LeBron James is a pretty darn good basketball player. But not everyone is quick to praise the Cleveland Cavaliers star. Especially his own adorable children. If you go out and you don't perform well. Yeah. When you get home, Daddy. What did you lose? Why didn't you play well tonight? It's your fault you lost. [ LAUGHTER ] They just don't care. Ouch, talk about tough love. Well at least the kiddos hold you to a high standard LeBron. Even the ones that aren't yours. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James. But he says he doesn't mind when his mini mes give him a hard time. LeBron told Jimmy Fallon Tuesday night, he's been in the Funk since the Cavs lost the NBA Championship title to the Golden State Warriors last month. But, he admitted it's hard to be down in the dumps with kids as awesome as his. Aw, adorable! And though they might not like to always admit it, LeBron's family totally has his back. As those close to the James clan recently told Hollywood Life, LeBron's family is keeping him emotionally level. He's not getting too high when they win and not getting too low when they lose and that's really due to the grounding influence of his children. Family, gotta love them. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3958467/lebron-james-jimmy-fallon/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3958467/lebron-james-jimmy-fallon/"},"headline":"Here's What LeBron James' Kids Tell Him When His Team Loses","datePublished":"2015-07-15T12:10:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:29:11.819Z","description":"The basketball star's children don't pull any punches","url":"https://time.com/3958467/lebron-james-jimmy-fallon/","keywords":["Sports topic","Television","Lebron James"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7d00aa8386fc9117/698781cce20a87e005a85602/lebron-james.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7d00aa8386fc9117/698781cce20a87e005a85602/lebron-james.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"LeBron James #23 of the Cleveland Cavaliers during the game against the Houston Rockets on March 1, 2015 at the Toyota Center in Houston.","caption":"LeBron James #23 of the Cleveland Cavaliers during the game against the Houston Rockets on March 1, 2015 at the Toyota Center in Houston.","creditText":"Bill Baptist—NBAE/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3958467/lebron-james-jimmy-fallon/","name":"Here's What LeBron James' Kids Tell Him When His Team Loses"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Late-Night Highlight: LeBron James's Kids Scold Him When He Loses Games","description":"On the 'Tonight Show,' LeBron James revealed his kids really don't like it when he loses games.
