LeBron reminds reporters he was in CLE first

Posted

LeBron James had a little fun with reporters after the Cavs defeated the Hawks Sunday evening, earning them a spot in the Eastern Conference finals.

When a reporter prompted a question by saying Kyrie Irving was in Cleveland first, the Cavs forward jumped in and corrected him. 

Reporter: Kyrie, question for you since you were obviously here in Cleveland first, what does it mean for you...

LeBron: Second

Reporter: Second, OK yeah let's get that straight

LeBron: I was here and then I came back...but don't worry about it, keep going. 

Reporter: Just a timing thing, I got you.

Kevin Love and Irving laughed alongside James during the exchange.

LeBron was drafted by the Cavs in 2003. Then left for the Miami Heat in 2010 and came back in 2014.

Kyrie was the Cavs' first pick in the 2011 draft.
