LeBron James delivers an odd press conference
The Miami Heat defeated the Los Angeles Lakers after another disappointing display by the Lakers. After speaking about his teammate Russell Westbrook, LeBron starts joking with a journalist. When asked about Russell Westbrook, LeBron mentioned,” I don’t know. I mean he is just being himself. I have seen him just be himself, that’s all.”
After answering about Russ, he decides to have some fun with a journalist. The journalist in the scene seemed to be Joe Vardon. LeBron commented on Joe’s appearance by saying, ” Growing your hair out? Mine’s going the other way.”
