LeBron loves ‘constructive criticism’
Regarding the team’s first loss, LeBron James said he’s happy with his coach’s reaction.
“He just got on us,” James said of Blatt, per ESPN.
“He got on us from the time we started our meeting to the time we left. And it’s great. For a team like us, we need that. I love constructive criticism. I never took it personal. It’s just an opportunity for us to get better, and it definitely put a fire into us.”
