All eyes were on LeBron James prior to Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night.

Unfortunately that meant when James went to adjust his shorts and tuck in his jersey, the ABC camera crew in the huddle caught everything.

Yes, everything.

As one could expect, the internet could not hold back.

Following the controversial Janet Jackson "Nipplegate" incident during halftime of Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004, the Federal Communications Commission made several changes to its regulatory policies and procedures.

Fines for indecency were significantly increased and, most notably, a five-second delay for all future performances on live television was implemented to prevent similar incidents.

That being said, the pregame huddle of an NBA Finals game is not a live performance, nor was James tucking in his jersey premeditated like Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.

But because the game was being broadcast on a major network and because one of the most recognisable athletes on the planet was involved, accident or not, it is more than likely that the FCC and ABC will at least look into the mistake.
