It's really cool to be a part of it. It was a pretty cool moment but I didn't really get a chance to enjoy it because we were getting our butts kicked at the time. So I was a little angry during this downtime. So I didn't have the opportunity to appreciate it at its true value. But I heard [les chants]. And when they said his name, that's when I looked up. And I think I hit him on the leg. It's really cool », had conceded LeBron James after this meeting with the Cavaliers.
