Lakers' LeBron James Says He Hates That Poster Dunk Was on Cavaliers' Kevin Love
During the Los Angeles Lakers' win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, LeBron James had a monster dunk over his former teammate Kevin Love.
While the internet was hyped for another James poster, the 37-year-old said he wished his friend Love wasn't on the wrong end of this one.
"I hate it happened to be him," James said. "So I'm gonna take that one even out of my posters. I didn't like that one cuz that's my guy."
Love, for his part, didn't seem to be too upset about the play. When the teams emerged from the locker room after halftime, he greeted James with a bear hug:
James had another stellar performance in the Lakers' 131-120 victory, pouring in a game-high 38 points to go with 11 rebounds and 12 assists.
The Akron, Ohio, said he'd give up those two points if he could.
"He's my guy. That's my brother. And I hope I'm still invited to the wedding. ... I wish I could take those two points back and we'd still win the game by nine," James told reporters.
James was drafted No. 1 overall by the Cavaliers in 2003. After departing for the Miami Heat in 2010, he later returned, and Love and James were teammates during James' second run in Cleveland from 2014 to 2018.
Together, they helped bring the franchise its first championship by defeating the Golden State Warriors in seven games in the 2016 NBA Finals. Love is the only player remaining on the roster from that team.
