After beating his teammates in a game of "around the world" style three-point shooting contest during practice Monday, Miami Heat star LeBron James forced Ray Allen and Mario Chalmers to drop and give him 20.
Allen and Chalmers, both of who have military background, accepted the challenge and complied with the demands as James taunted them saying:
"Y'all should be glad we're not playing for money."
The Heat will host the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday night for Game 2 of their Eastern Conference series. This game will be particularly interesting to watch as James recently expressed his confusion to why it appears other teams around the league lack "respect" for his Heat team.
"I haven't been able to figure that out, but it is what is," James said. "We fell into that category, of appreciating and respecting our opponents, but getting none back.
"But that's OK. As a veteran ballclub, we understand that challenges that come with the postseason, that come with the whole season."
Those comments came on the heels of Bucks guard Brando Jennings predicting an upset, saying that they would beat the Heat in six.
However, James was a little more understanding of Jennings comments, saying:
"That's OK," James said. "If they feel that way, they have us in the first round. We'll see how well we match up.
"It's OK to think that way and you can believe that way. They should, though. We're all NBA players for a reason. Teams are put together for a reason to go out and play. I'm not here to take shots at anyone. That's not what we do as a team. We just go about our business and whoever we have in the first round, we'll be ready for them."
