Tyronn Lue channels LeBron James in his response to Cavs’ reporter (Video)

After the Cavaliers’ Game 4 victory over the Celtics, head coach Tyronn Lue channeled his inner LeBron James in response to a Cavs’ reporter’s question.

After the Cavaliers dropped Game 3 at home to the Boston Celtics and LeBron James didn’t have a great game, the post-game press conference got a little testy. Kenny Roda, a local Cleveland area radio host, had a valid question for LeBron James.

"For you, you said it was just your game. Couldn’t get into a rhythm tonight, is that what it was? Based on their defense or just not feeling it or or what?"

LeBron responded and didn’t hold back his feelings for Roda.

"Nah, I was just pretty poor. I mean, what do you want me to say? It sees like you only ask questions when we lose. It’s a weird thing with you, Kenny. You always come around when we lose, I swear. Yeah, OK"

Roda responded on Twitter, citing that he has been consistently coming to Cavaliers’ games and showing up at the post-game press conferences.

After the Cavaliers’ comeback victory in Game 4, head coach Tyronn Lue decided to end the mini-controversy in Cleveland by poking fun at Roda.

Lue decided to throw back the same line that LeBron used on Roda and crush any issues between the Cavaliers and the radio host. Obviously, it was a lighter mood for the Cavs tonight, who came back from a 10-point halftime deficit, to win Game 4 by a score of 112-99.

The Cavaliers’ head coach might be the only head coach that LeBron has had who could make that kind of a light-hearted joke and get away with it. It also helped that the King bounced back tonight, scoring 34 points on 15-for-27 shooting after only 11 points in a Game 3 loss. 

Cleveland will head back to Boston for a Game 5 closeout game with a ticket to the NBA Finals awaiting. Will Kenny Roda follow the Cavs to Boston? Only if they lose, I guess.
