Jefferson: I saw the real James. He apologized to me and Frye for losing his temper.

October 27th Recently, former NBA player Richard Jefferson talked about his former Cavaliers teammate James on his personal podcast "Road Trippin' Show".
Regarding Westbrook's inability to accept the report that Lakers teammate James is "hypocritical," Jefferson said: "Let me say it, the book will not sell without these things. If you just tell an ordinary story without any amazing moments, then no one will discuss it. You see, this is an anonymous source saying something, and this is the origin of the contradiction. Now we have no way to prove a falsehood. Like, I don't know if that actually happened, and someone could point to an anonymous source and say, 'That's not what I said. ' That could be a real source, but I'm going to write something that I don't know is 100% true. That's my opinion on what's written in these books.
"I have a good example of LeBron being sincere. Channing (Frye, the host), I don't remember if we were playing in Chicago or Toronto, we had something happen in the tape session and LeBron lost his temper. But we were having dinner that night, and Channing and I said, ‘No, we’re not going to dinner. He's a grumpy old guy. ’ But they went to drink after dinner, so we didn’t go to eat, but we joined them to drink. When we got there, LeBron was already tipsy, and he walked up to us, put his hands on our shoulders and said, 'Guys, I'm sorry for the tantrum. ’ Qian Ning and I said, ‘Brother, it’s okay. We know you have a heavy responsibility. ’ He said, ‘Guys, I’m sorry. I'm losing my temper. ’ We said, ‘Brother, we love you. Come on. ’ We all get angry and complain, everyone has bad moments. He knew he lost his temper and we were all calm because we knew how much pressure this asshole was under. But for him to be able to apologize for it after a shot or two of tequila, that's where we get to see the human side of him. Maybe some people just don't see this side because they have to express themselves in a certain way. But I've seen him for what he is, and I've seen him do genuine things like apologize to his brother for throwing a tantrum. And I have also been exposed to some superstars who would never do this. So it depends on what your experience was with someone at the time. "
