Brandon recalled how happy George was after LeBron-led Cavaliers went back on the Warriors in the finals one time. Floyd called him up. “Cavaliers came back on the Golden State Warriors during the Finals, and I remember the very first phone call,” Williams remembered. “I told him, ‘You’re too happy. You sound like you won a championship.'”

To this, Floyd replied, “Man, you know how I feel about LeBron. I did win a championship.” Well, that feeling only comes from a true LeBron fan. LeBron James definitely won hearts while playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
