LeBron James: Catching Michael Jordan a ‘Personal Goal’
This year’s uniform will come with a patch on back collar featuring the Larry O’Brien trophy, recognizing the Cavaliers as National Basketball Association champions.
Last year, Smith was responsible for 204 of the team’s made three-pointers and 955 total points while being the team’s fourth offensive option.
According to ESPN, the 33-year-old surprised the team on Monday (Sept. 26), when his agent called hours before the start of training camp to reveal the news. Next year, it’ll be three and the following year will be four.
James said it’s those little moments that make winning that much more special. “It’s something that, as a kid, you always kind of watched and wish you could be a part of that”.
As far as a player’s perspective goes, LeBron will work with coach and the rest of his staff to map out a plan to keep him fresh.
In other words, Cleveland can be content to ease into their title defense, to slowly ramp up to the unveiling of the Cavaliers’ championship rings on opening night a month from now against the New York Knicks without the constant spotlight that generally follows the defending champs.
“To be able to sit up here once again say that I’m a champion, it means a lot”.
“I’ve watched it over and over”, said Shumpert. The 2012-13 season when he won the Sixth Man of the Year award while playing for the New York Knicks and the 2009-10 season for the Denver Nuggets, which was a season when the club won 53 games on their way to the Western Conference playoffs. James is a father of three and spoke of his fears of his son calling to say he got pulled over by police, and “I’m not that confident that things are going to go well and my son is going to return home”.
“We stood up there understanding what the state of America was in at that point in time and what our personal feelings were”, James said.
“The hunter has now become the hunted”.
Williams played two stints with Cleveland. Our only mindset right now is how we can continue to get better every day. We hope that gets done in relatively short order.
LeBron gave his take on both, and how he feels the team can fill that position. So we accept the challenge.
“We played the Lakers on Christmas Day in L.A. and I think we lost by 25 or 30 and he came into the locker room and collected $100 from everybody and put it in the ceiling in L.A., in the Staples Center”, Lue said.
“We think very highly of J.R., we love him as a member of our team”, Cavaliers general manager David Griffin said.
