"Uh... so Michael, how do you evaluate LeBron's debut performance?"
Michael Jordan resisted the urge to blurt out "his performance was a pile of crap," and simply nodded slightly: "LeBron is just a rookie, and this is only a rookie's first game, it doesn't mean anything."
After saying that, Michael Jordan got up and left the press conference, leaving James alone.
It was James' first time seeing Michael Jordan so cold, so angry.
Also, it was the first time he heard Jordan call him a "rookie."
He thought Jordan would address him with more respect.
Rumors about Jordan and Chris Webber began to echo in James' mind.
Soon, another reporter asked: "LeBron, will this loss affect your relationship with Michael? We all know Michael is crazily competitive, he might blame his teammates after a loss, will this happen in the Cavaliers?"
