So there’s been a little bit of animosity between the Heat and the Cavaliers. Rightly so. But LeBron James is actually surprised about the recent hubbub. Most notably Chris Bosh’s reluctance to be the pals they once were.
Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com has written LeBron’s comments.
“I know a lot of words have been coming out of their camp as of late and some of it is surprising,” James said Friday after Cleveland’s practice. “We’ve got so much history together. … It doesn’t take away from what we accomplished [in Miami] and I know that.”
“I’ve talked to D. Wade. Obviously, I haven’t talked to Chris. But I haven’t seen them,” James added.
James has attempted to maintain a relationship with Wade and he spoke to Mario Chalmers just before the start of training camp.
But this week in Rio the teams are actively trying to avoid each other. They are staying at nearby hotels but, despite having three off nights before Saturday’s preseason game, aren’t making plans to see each other.
This is quite saddening to me. Miami are my team but LeBron is my boy. Sure he didn’t leave in the best of circumstances but it was better compared to the “The Decision”. But if Bosh wants to do a “Kevin Garnett” then I can’t knock him for it.
