LeBron James Says He Had a ‘Candid Conversation‘ With Reporter He Called Out

LeBron James said he had a “candid” conversation with The Athletic’s Bill Oram on Sunday night after the Lakers’ 123–95 loss to the Pelicans. James criticized Oram after a report he wrote that James said was not accurate.

“@billoram and I had a candid conversation after the game tonight and I know he has a job to do,” James said in the tweet. “I know what he wrote wasn't truthful cause it never came from me. But I get it, SOURCES run this game. Nevertheless #LakerNation let him be cause he ain't a bad guy.”

After Friday’s loss to the Clippers, James addressed the reported tensions between himself and the Lakers by Oram.
