JR Smith tells a story when Tyronn Lue went off on LeBron James at halftime of game 7 in the finals:
“That sh*t was so crazy. He’s so chill. He came right in there at halftime like, Bron you got to be better. You got to be better. Bron was like what you want to do? He said I don’t know but you need to be better. You need to figure it out. Get the ball. Dunk the motherfu*ker. Do whatever you got to do. Bron was hot. He was on fire. I’ve never seen him that hot. Especially not in the finals. Like he stays pretty levelheaded. It can get hot in the moment, but like he was on fire.”

the most underrated scene in the film for sure! And definitely one of my favourites! Stand is also my fave song from the Jackson 5 so I was so happy to hear it in Michael 🥹❤️🩹 #thejackson5#jackson5#michaelmovie
Shaq says he would draft LeBron over Kobe to start a franchise
“I’d probably go with [LeBron James] because Bron — and I know this is a Kobe [Bryant] comparison — Bron had it when he came in. It took Kobe two or three years to get it. Bron had it when he came in, so I’d probably go with Bron.”

Isiah Thomas on former NBA players holding LeBron out of the top 5 players of all time:
“Guys are jealous, they get envious…. They intentionally ignore the obvious. When you intentionally ignore the obvious it has to come back to jealousy, envy, or straight up BS. This man got every basketball record on the books, if he ain’t in your top 5, you’re full of sh*t”
