NBA pettiness is at an all-time high, on both side. I was trying to finish out a possession, I think it was less than a minute left...I didn't see him coming over form the weakside so I tried to do a little soft scoop layup, and he pinned it, then he stared me down and said something to me and I was like "that's what we're really on? We're about to win and you're worried about me and blocking my shot and talking trash?" I sent back up to him like "Yo, what's up? Is this really what we about right now?" And he's like "I gotta do that, make sure my teammates know I'm a mentor" and that's part of his leadership. I'm like "I don't want to be the sacrificial lamb for your leadership man, that's messed up..."
When you play a team in the finals 4 years in a row, there's a lot of back & forth...
Bill Simmons: I'm not positive that you and LeBron like each other.
Steph: **Laughs**....there's a mutual respect...
