LeBron James plays basketball to win the championship

July 16 Former Cavaliers player and current NBA commentator Richard Jefferson recently shared his feelings about partnering with LeBron James on the Road Tripin podcast.

Veteran Richard Jefferson, who has a 17-year NBA career, revealed that it is not easy to fight side by side with James. The forward spent only two seasons with the Cavaliers with James, winning his only NBA title in 2016. Jefferson's most memorable season was spent by the league's all-time scoring champion, but the experience was full of challenges. When James has to deal with outside expectations, his teammates have to face pressure from James himself.

Jefferson said: "It's hard to play with LeBron because you have to go with the championship. He is one of the most competitive people in American sports history."

Jefferson described James' competitive spirit and desire to win. He said: "When you were here, he had practiced for four hours. Will it frustrate you? When he looked back at the game and saw you made a mistake, he would say, 'TMD What are you doing?'... There are indeed disadvantages to playing with great players who require everything."

Jefferson's partner, Channing Fry, who played with James at the end of his career, proposed Different view, he said, "If you know yourself, there is no disadvantage."

Fry smiled and mentioned his limitations, and said, "I sometimes feel that I can't meet those requirements! 'Channing, go grab that ball,' (LeBron will tell me that). How to grab it? … I'm just that ability. … I'm on the court to keep you from being double-teamed, lower your expectations, big brother!"

"Some players play to become an All-Star, some players play to enter the Hall of Fame. LeBron James plays basketball to win the championship and become the greatest player in history... Oh, you just want to climb to the top of the mountain? This guy wants to climb to Mars." Fry added.
