On Wednesday afternoon after the Cleveland Cavaliers’ practice session, a reporter tried to bait superstar LeBron James into confirming a statement he had reportedly said about guard DeAndre Liggins.
Instead of falling for the bait, the 14-year veteran bluntly called out the reporter, saying, “I never said that…I didn’t say that. I didn’t say that. Please don’t say I said that.”
The reporter tried to follow up by saying he was just paraphrasing what James had said, but the superstar promptly responded:
“Well paraphrasing gets me caught up in some s— sometimes. I did not say that.”
The question starts at the 9:00 minute mark below.
