LeBron and Aaron Gordon battle for position in a Lakers-Nuggets game. Gordon won't get physical with LeBron at first, then gets tougher once he moves away. The speaker sees ego, not real toughness, in the whole exchange.
All right, so I'm sitting here watching the NBA game the day after, Lakers versus Nuggets. I don't know who won, but I'm at 8:34 left in the second half— second quarter, I mean— and LeBron and Aaron Gordon get into it. I personally think this is great. I think Aaron Gordon needs to show him that I'm here, um, you have 23 points, no one's stopping you, so I need to be a little bit physical with you. So LeBron's trying to get to a certain spot, right? Why do I have to let him go there? No, why Why am I letting him go there? No, no, you're not going. No. And LeBron doesn't like it. Okay, Aaron shouldn't grab— tied his elbow up, but still, why do I have to let you go there? I'm entitled to this spot just as much as you are. But the funny thing is, watch Aaron Gordon. He doesn't get tough until he gets away from LeBron. Look, he could be tough right now. Not tough, not tough. Oh, now I'm tough. Now I'm tough. What? No one really wants to fight. It's just ego. Why he's holding his arm, I have no idea. Not tough, not tough, not tough.
