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.
Yes, it's more of the competitiveness amongst this guy, when they are inside the court, they will do everything to win a game and you can't see the friendship within, even hurting each other at times. But at the end of the end, those guys are friends are outside.
I'm not sure about the LBJ haters though, as we have said, "haters gonna hate", so as long as LBJ is making mistakes specially inside the court, you will hear this detractors talking about him and this and that, blah blah. But then again, as I have said, this guys are very competitive so once they hear it, they are going to be fueled by it and take it personally.
Even argues badly inside the court and fight for what's right in their opinion if there are fouls or wrong calls by the referees.
But that's all necessary and normal as that's how they've been paid when they've signed a contract. As to those haters, they'll always be there and they're just making the athlete they hate more popular and loved.
That's what I've seen that instead of adding more haters, they're just showing that the people love who they're hating.
