LeBron's face darkened, "You should ask Chris about that, he's the one involved!"
"You, as his teammate, I want to hear what you think..." Erin persisted.
Fuck off!
LeBron knew at a glance that Erin was "fishing" for a story, cursed inwardly, and walked away.
The Heat's PR staff immediately stepped forward, stopping Erin and her cohort from asking further questions.
LeBron didn't want to answer that question.
More accurately, he dared not answer it.
The reason was simple:
His relationship with Chris Bosh was already tense.
At this point, if he were to comment on why Chris Bosh was performing poorly this season, wouldn't that be like igniting a "fuse" and blowing himself up?
He definitely would not do such a foolish thing!
Erin felt regretful; after telling Su Wan about the incident, she added, "It was so close."
She had hoped to use this atmosphere to have LeBron criticize Chris Bosh and completely ignite the Heat's locker room tensions!
