LeBron James        ? @KingJames

Stop trying to find a way to FIT-OUT and just FIT-IN. Be apart of something special! Just my thoughts
10:37 PM - 7 Feb 2015

The term "fit out" was something Love used during the preseason.

"I'm comfortable and just not trying to, I guess, fit in so much," Love said. "I had a talk with the guys on the plane ride over [to Brazil] and also at different practices off the floor and they told me to fit out, just be myself."

James said the wording was intentional.

"It's not a coincidence, man," James told a small group of reporters after the game.

Quote
James might have taken exception to Love's recent comments to Cleveland.com following the power forward's second five-point outing in the span of three games in a loss to Indiana on Friday.

"I think it's one of the toughest situations I've had to deal with," Love said.

He also classified his limited role in the offense as that of a "spacer" and added "there's no blueprint for what I should be doing."

Their chemistry doesn't seem to be too bad on court..I guess Lebron was trying to "motivate" Love with his tweet. We'll see how it plays out.

He went for 32 yeaterday, which was a season high.  Probably just a coincidence, but the tweet didnt seem to hurt.

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
I'm with LeBron on this one, maybe not the public calling out but the attitude.  Love is going to get a max contract offer pretty much no matter what, so why focus on "his role" over trying to put together a championship quality team?  He's about to make the playoffs for the first time in a 7-year career, so fixating on getting his just seems petty and egotistical.

If this was anyone other than LeBron James, media darling, it would have already been a national news story about "modern-day racial segregation." Imagine if Dion Waiters had tweeted publicly earlier this year that the white guy "didn't fit in."

I believe the reaction would've been "Who The ---- Is Dion Witers?'
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

What the heck does "corny and wack[sic]" even mean?!

But didn't he basically tell them straight up that the tweet was meant for Love with his "it's not a coincidence, man" comment? lol
