They talked it out man to man and squashed the issue of this…
“I didn’t even see the tweets, I don’t really get into social media like that,” James said Tuesday before the Cleveland Cavaliers took on Lillard’s Portland Trail Blazers. “He came to me before [the tweets] even got to me. We hashed it out right there, so no big deal.”
Lillard, who was a Heat and James fan at the time, said he was engaging with college teammates who were rooting for the Mavericks.
“It was just irresponsible. It’s something that I’m not proud of,” Lillard told The Oregonian of Portland. “But I can also say that I’ve grown up since then. And I was just a young kid doing crazy stuff with my teammates.”
Always remember whatever once you press send like Herman Edwards says it is over and there is nothing you can do to take it back.
It is a lesson that Lillard has now learned.
“I made some comments about LeBron that were uncalled for,” Lillard told The Oregonian. “And that just goes to show that a lot of kids now on the social network, a lot of the stuff that you put out there, you never know when it can come back. So my advice to them is to be careful with that.”
Good to see they were able to work it out.
