LeBron James has a love for cookies, which seemed to have an event take place involving him and Miami Heat President Pat Riley.

James appeared as a special guest on the Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday, revealing a lot of stories surrounding his NBA career. One of them involved his time with the Heat from 2010 to 2014, which he recalled a story in which Riley got rid of the cookies on one flight.

He connected it to how things ended between Riley and Jimmy Butler, who now plays for the Golden State Warriors.

“That cookies story is true…Everybody knows I love chocolate chip cookies..One flight I got on and there was no more cookies and we all know where it came from,” James said.

“If it ain’t about that Heat shield and that Heat culture Riles doesn’t care.”
