On Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James scored 27 points but lost to his hometown Cavaliers for only the second time in 19 meetings during his 20-year NBA career.
“I got in trouble last time when I was just giving an honest opinion” about the Cavs during last season’s All-Star break, James said with a smile, via ESPN. “Which I don’t care, so I’ll give another. … They did a great job in the offseason of picking up a big-time player. They have a really good team and a great coach. A well-balanced team and a bunch of players (who) seem like they just really want to play ball.”
