Now, the Lakers star forward is trying to get announcers fired.<\/p>\n<p>During the final moments of the Rockets-Wizards game on Monday night, Houston\u2019s Kevin Porter Jr. hit a game-winning shot that sealed the deal for the Rockets. However, NBC Sports Washington analyst Glenn Consor\u2019s description of the shot is what would end up making headlines.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to give credit,\u201d Consor said. \u201cKevin Porter Jr., like his dad, pulled that trigger right at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The comment ended up proving quite unfortunate, given that Kevin Porter Jr.\u2019s father actually did pull the trigger of a very real gun and <a href=\"https:\/\/thespun.com\/nba\/los-angeles-lakers\/lebron-james-calls-for-nba-announcer-to-be-fired\">killed<\/a> a 14-year-old girl in 1993.
