LeBron James talked about the video that went viral about Cavs’ huddle after JR Smith’s mistake in Game 1.

Per ESPN, "I was sitting on the bench and kind of just contemplating the last couple seconds of what just happened, what expired, from JR dribbling the ball out to (George Hill) missing the free throw, actually seeing Draymond (Green) step in early on the lane violation," James said. "So there were a lot of things playing through my head."

"I actually tried to call timeout. ... I don't know if I had enough time because I was kind of a little bit still in shock of what was going on at that point in time," James said. "I got to the bench, first thing that came to my mind I was like, 'OK, I was calling a timeout.' But hopefully, I'm glad maybe if we didn't have any, I'm glad they didn't give it to me. I didn't want another C-Webb (Chris Webber) incident. If that happened, then they go to make their free throws and the game is over."

Playing for Michigan against North Carolina in the 1993 NCAA championship game, Webber called a timeout when the Wolverines didn't have one, drawing a technical foul. The Wolverines went on to lose the game.

"I don't care. I don't care at all (about the criticism)," James said. "We're in the NBA Finals. I mean, how much more picking up of teammates do you want me to do?"
