LeBron James on taking a back seat to Luka and Reaves in March: “I was able to put my ego aside for the betterment of the team.”
“I mean, to be able to experience something [new], it was just totally different for me,” James told ESPN. “In March, it was a totally different role for me. It was super uncomfortable, but comfortable. I had to get into that. But it was also winning. That’s all I care about. But I knew at the same time I could give more. But maybe giving more wasn’t what was a fit for our team. And I accepted that and I was OK with that. Not from a team aspect, I was OK with that. I was able to put my ego to the side for the betterment of the team, understanding that I could do it.”
“I don’t want to speak too prematurely,” James said when asked about the Thunder series. “Obviously, we’ll get into it once we get into it, probably on Sunday we’ll tap into it.”
