LeBron James said not all of his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates were supportive of him during his Rookie of the Year campaign in 2003-04.
When Mind the Game Pod co-host JJ Redick asked James if he had to deal with people who weren't celebrating him and "wanted to kick your ass" during his rookie season, James answered, "My teammates for sure."
"There's video evidence of my teammates basically saying, like, 'He's not ready,' or, 'There's somebody playing his position,' or, 'We're not putting all our faith in an 18-year-old kid,'" James said on Wednesday's episode of the podcast.
