LeBron on earning the respect of LA fanbase: I signed a four-year deal. What do you want me to do?
The reporter then reiterated the question, causing James to reiterate his confusion with the premise
LeBron James said signing a four-year deal is enough to earn the respect of the L.A. fanbase.
Per ESPN, While James took the loss in stride, gathering the group for its final huddle and leading it in a "1-2-3 together!" chant afterward, he displayed less, well, patience with a reporter who wondered how he planned to earn the respect of the L.A. fanbase.
"Who, me?" James questioned back. "Me?"
The reporter then reiterated the question, causing James to reiterate his confusion with the premise.
"Huh? I signed a four-year deal," James said. "How much more ... what do you want me to do? Listen, I signed a four-year deal. I'm here. So I know what I bring to the table, on the floor."
