There are star calls, and there are superstar calls.

Last night, LeBron James was the beneficiary of a superstar call.

During the first quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' 121-96 win over the Utah Jazz, James blatantly traveled while bringing the ball across half court.

However, it went uncalled:

Microphones captured LeBron speaking to a fan about the incident later on in the game.

"Yeah, I know that was bad. That was real bad. I didn't even know I did it until I saw it at halftime. That's the worst I've ever done. Yeah, that was f—ed up. I feel bad for them though," James appears to say as he gestures towards a referee.

After the game, James told reporters, "I think I was ready to pass the ball and my brain just kind of just... I had a malfunction. I really had a malfunction."

Some NBA fans also grew upset after LeBron walked onto the court during a live ball from the Lakers' bench to celebrate a series of blocks from Kyle Kuzma—and in socks, no less:

LeBron finished with 20 points, 12 assists and 4 rebounds as the Lakers cruised to their Western Conference-best 19th victory.
