Watch: LeBron James Finally Reveals Truth on Why he Ignored Guillermo For Years
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James shared the truth about Guillermo. He was ignoring him for a really long time. NBA fans have been following his decade-long beef with the interviewer from Jimmy Kimmel Live! Why did LeBron ignore him for this long? There’s a really interesting story behind the whole thing.
Truth is, Guillermo has been trying to get on LeBron’s good graces since forever. Well, he came up short every time. In 2017, Guillermo decided that he was going to be the one ignoring the four-time NBA champion during the 3rd Finals challenge against the Golden State Warriors.
What happened next? Guillermo got the love he craved.
Now we have LeBron James admitting why he had been ignoring Guillermo all these years.
“See Guillermo, he gave me an opportunity to focus even more during all those Finals runs I had, I was saying to myself ‘If I could block him out, then the fans have no chance.’”
In other words, Guillermo played a big role in LeBron’s title runs. Maybe the king of basketball should consider sending Guillermo a couple of rings for his contributions. The man deserved those!
LeBron James to win more games now that fans know the truth about Guillermo
Well, Guillermo didn’t help LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Bubble. We all know why. He won’t miss a chance to tease LeBron during a future NBA Finals media day.
LeBron and the Lakers missed the chance to win a title this season. The Phoenix Suns eliminated them in the first round of the series. The Lakers entered the offseason a little too early this time. But, this gives them more time to prepare for the upcoming season. They have enough time to get the players LeBron needs to win more games. This means that some of the current players will have to go somewhere else.
Who is the first to leave the storied franchise? LeBron isn’t bothered with that. He is busy taking care of his body. The Lakers need him to be in a good shape in 2021-22. LeBron has to stay healthy and the same applies to his teammates.
