LeBron James scored a season-high 46 points as the Lakers beat his former team the Cleveland Cavaliers. James said his 4th quarter performance was brought on by a Cavs staff member chirping at him after he missed a shot.
“He was really excited about me missing that shot,” James said. “A little bit more extra than I would have liked.”
So who was it?
ESPN has since confirmed Jason Hillman, the Cavs’ basketball chief of staff, was the person James saw clapping.
“He was really excited about me missing that shot. A little bit more extra than I would have liked. But he’s got to root for his team, obviously. And he was, he showcased that.
“So I knew I had another quarter, and the fourth quarter’s my favorite.”

When arenas are this empty, of course LeBron is going to notice when you clap like a maniac.
What a terrible strategy.
