LeBron James downplays beef after Kyle Kuzma's trainer calls him out

If criticism from a teammate’s trainer bothers LeBron James, he certainly doesn’t show it.

James downplayed any potential beef with Los Angeles Lakers teammate Kyle Kuzma on Saturday after the third-year forward’s trainer, Clint Parks, criticized James over social media.

Following the team’s disappointing Christmas Day loss to the Los Angeles Clippers — during which the Lakers blew a 12-point halftime lead and James shot 2-of-12 from three — Parks insinuated that James wasn’t as dedicated as Kawhi Leonard.

Shortly after Park posted to his Instagram story, Kuzma tweeted a mysterious “Call a spade a spade message” that was later deleted.
