Talking about how LeBron James prepares for games, Arenas mentions, “The first time I met him, he’s watching seven things at once, soccer, high school basketball, college girl basketball, NBA. I mean you just sitting there watching a machine and I’m sitting there playing cards. He got a little pad right here with a film going on, he is rewinding it and taking notes, his wife is taking notes. You know his girlfriend at the time and I’m just sitting here like, wow that’s different.”
