After getting an ear-full from Eddy Cue during Game 1 of the NBA Finals, LeBron James single handedly carried his team to a win last night to even the series at game a piece.
LeBron’s leadership has been unparalleled this season, and that extends on and off the court. Before the Cavs vs Warriors series kicked off last week, insiders revealed that LeBron gathered his teammates at the Four Seasons in downtown San Francisco for a bonding session and presented everyone with their own Apple Watch.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some great partners and whatever I get, I like to share with my teammates,” James told reporters. “It’s just my way of showing them that I care. That’s it. It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last time.”
LeBron, who’s been a Samsung spokesman for years, has enjoyed a close relationship with Beats cofounders Jimmy and Dre. The four-time MVP has made appearances in Beats commercials and has given teammates pairs of headphones as gifts in the past.
The Warriors head to Cleveland for Game 3 tomorrow. I doubt Eddy will make an appearance to harass LeBron, but next time he sees him he should say thanks for the watch, while sinking a 3 from downtown.
