Yup.
That's just all about the competition and whatever reaction they show for each match that they have to each other, it's all because they're in a competition and they're just doing their jobs to make their team wins.
I wish to see more of this and those LBJ haters will appreciate that he's a person like this and if they will still hate him, I hope it's just in the court and not with him as a person.
All the real hate left after the 90s. These guys are all cool with each other. They make more money for each other when fans actually think they are rivals and get into it. It's part of the show. With that being said Lakers dropped a nice bucket of money in lebrons lap today

They're hating it to the part that they'll mock these athlete's personality and that's just off from being a hater and it's too much to see.
But yeah, no matter what the people thinking about them. They may be rivals inside the court but they hella have a contract that's going to set them for life.
