Some NBA reporters show up for every game of the regular season and playoffs. Others pick and choose which games they want to show face for.
Tyronn Lue jokes with reporter whom LeBron James called out after Game 3
Everything’s a bit more fun after a win.

Either way, you’re not fooling LeBron James, who called out WHBC’s Kenny Roda after the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Game 3 loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
“Seems like you only ask questions when we losing,” James said. “It’s a weird thing with you, Kenny. Always come around when we lose, I swear.”
Roda then showed his face during the Cavaliers’ Game 4 win over the Celtics on Tuesday. Cleveland head coach Tyronn Lue had some fun with his superstar’s comments at Roda’s expense after the victory.
“You only show up when we lose,” Lue said, via Sports Illustrated’s Ben Golliver. “That’s funny, man.”
Maybe Roda broke the curse by showing face in the presence of a Cavaliers victory. Either way, shoutouts to him for doing his job.
