After Su Xi once again led the team to a three-game winning streak and was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, a certain sentiment began to form within the Cavaliers: maybe Jack was a better fit as the team's leader.
This sentiment wasn't just being passed around by Akabu; it was even being heard among the coaching staff.
LeBron James had to step up and quell this crisis of confidence. He had to make everyone understand that the law is decreed by the King, and without the King, the law is nothing but a worthless piece of paper.
Ever since Ricky Davis's true intentions were revealed with that sharp stab in Orlando, James had held a grudge against Su Xi.
Then in New York, after Ricky Davis was traded, he came back on his own accord to talk to Su Xi. But Su Xi didn't go running to James to report on the conversation and prove his loyalty.
This made James even more upset.
