LeBron James was upset after the Cavaliers lost Game 3 to the Celtics, and he took his frustration out on a reporter during the team’s postgame press conference.
LeBron James calls out Cleveland reporter, saying ‘you only ask questions when we lose’
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
“I was just pretty poor. What do you want me to say? It seems like you only ask questions when we lose. It’s a weird thing with you Kenny, you always come around when we lose, I swear. Yeah ... yeah, OK.”
The reporter, Kenny Roda of WHBC in Cleveland, responded to LeBron’s comments after the game.
Roda wasn’t the only person to earn the King’s ire. While walking to the conference, an irate Cavaliers fan yelled at LeBron before being escorted out of the arena while yelling his own Division III basketball statistics.
He also shot a steely look at Roda when he walked off the stage.
It was a rough night for LeBron. He only scored 11 points on 13 shots, the Cavs lost despite trying to make a point by coming out to the Monstars theme from Space Jam, and now local media is getting on his nerves. Somewhere, Celtics fans are rubbing their hands together.
