James avoided making eye contact with Kobe, instead turning his head to look at Scott standing on the sidelines.
Hansen is stirring up trouble, do something, coach!
Scott didn't know that Hansen had met Kobe yesterday, so he was completely unprepared for Kobe's reaction.
However, when he saw the look in James' eyes, he immediately called for a timeout.
"Keep an eye on your man, this is the finals." Kobe walked over to James to remind him again.
"I've done my best, I can't stop him." James didn't want to argue with Kobe, but Hansen was right, that wasn't the guy he was supposed to guard.
Listening to James' words, Kobe's eyes widened in disbelief.
James has played in three finals, how could he not act like it?
Is it a question of trying hard?
A season's effort finally leads here, not to tell yourself, "I've done my best," that would be lying to yourself!
"How about you guard Irving?"
Kobe continued.
