Following the Cleveland Cavs victory against the Los Angeles Lakers last night, in which LeBron James registered the 59th triple-double of his career tying Larry Bird on the all-time triple-double list, the 4x MVP met up with Lonzo Ball and gave him some words of advice.
During their brief meeting, LeBron pulled his jersey over his mouth so nobody could see what he was saying, which only added to the speculation about what the two were chatting about.
However, a redditor by the user name of IT-3 shared audio of the LeBron x Lonzo conversation this morning, which mics on the court apparently picked up after the Cavs' win.
“Find your zone and just stay the fuck locked in,” James said. “The media is going to ask you what I told you right now (but so what). Just be aggressive every single day ... it's white noise. That's all it is. All right?”
Why LeBron felt the need to cover his mouth just so he could tell Lonzo to "stay the fuck locked in" and "be aggressive" doesn't make much sense, but he obviously knew it would grab the media's attention.
Reporters asked both players about the post-game talk after the game and neither provided any details. LeBron said, "None of y'all business," while Lonzo told reporters that LeBron, "didn't tell me anything."
The Cavs, now sitting at 21-8 on the season, will host the Utah Jazz tomorrow night. Lonzo and the Lakers will return home for Monday night's game against the Warriors, which will feature Kobe Bryant's jersey retirement ceremony at halftime.
