LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are sitting atop the NBA standings with a 14-2 record but no matter where he is in the league, LeBron is always paying attention to the league at large and the stories that come with it as an admitted hoops junkie. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that he’s taken to the latest bizarre story involving the New York Knicks and his former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Richard Jefferson.
For those who are unaware about the story, let’s give you a quick recap. Jefferson, who is now an analyst for Brooklyn Nets games on the YES Network, joked that things had gotten so bad for the New York Knicks that he’d turned them down when they offered him a contract in his final year.
The Knicks then oddly made the social media highlight an even bigger story by issuing a clarification via the team’s official public relations twitter account.
Jefferson then of course leaned into the joke, being the expert troll that he can be, which got the attention of his former teammate LeBron.
