LeBron Responds To Hassan Whiteside

Prior to arriving for Wednesday night game against Cleveland Cavaliers in the Quicken Loans Arena, the Miami Heat center Whiteside offered," LeBron's a good player. I never really played too much against him. I'm not guarding him. Somebody else is pretty much guarding him. I just meet him at the rim." That statement and words said by Miami Heat's center Whiteside led to LeBron being asked in Wednesdays Cavaliers shoot around. LeBron complimentary said," He's a big, huge, very long, athletic. He's a big guy. And in our league, there are not that many guys like him. For his size, he's able to get to a lot of rebounds, change a lot of shots at the rim, and he has a really good touch, as well, around the rim. That's a huge pick up for them (Miami Heat), for sure. I'm happy for him. I'm happy for kid, more than anything. Even though he thinks I'm a good player, I'm still happy for him." After saying that LeBron left with a smile, with his comments drawing laughter. Whiteside wanted it left right there, replying to media about LeBron saying, " You all just blew that up way out proportion. But, man, I don't even know what to say. I don't got nothing to say."
