INDEPENDENCE (CBSMiami/AP) — Misconceptions are not that uncommon when it comes to professional athletes and how they are perceived by fans and the media.

LeBron James disdains the notion he’s a coach killer.

Widely criticized in basketball circles for a perception that he pushed for Cleveland’s front office to fire David Blatt last week, James said the criticism that he undercuts coaches is unfair.

“But what can I do about it?” he said following shootaround on Wednesday as the Cavs prepared to play the Phoenix Suns.
