The chemistry (or lack thereof) between LeBron James and Kevin Love continues to be an issue.
During the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s Cavs-Knicks game, Love fell to the floor after the Knicks scored a basket. James was right next to him and even stared his teammate in the face, but he declined to help him up:
Tristan Thompson, who inbounded the ball for the Cavs, had to come over and help up his teammate.
There’s no way around this: that did not look good on James’ end at all. We know he and Love have had a rocky road since the start, and there were reports explaining what LeBron didn’t like about Love. But Love ended up signing a long-term extension with the Cavs, indicating he will be a big part of their future. LeBron better start to respect him, or Love better earn that respect, because James shouldn’t be treating a teammate with the disrespect typically reserved for dunk victims.
