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.”

Iman Shumpert LeBron James will throw a turnover ON PURPOSE to prove you were out of position
"Bron kind of holds you accountable like yeah, I'm going to throw a turnover if you're not in the spot I told you to be"
"I'mma throw a blind pass over my head, and if you not there, I'mma tell coach take you out"
"When we do film tomorrow, he going to get up and say, no, this what I was saying… and once you see the tape you be like, damn, you right. I always appreciated that"
"Melo not the type that's going to grab you after the game and sit you down. Melo kind of internalizes it. He like, I need to score another five points, I can't miss this shot. Lead-by-example guy"
