LeBron on the characteristic he admires most out of basketball players: “I admire basketball IQ. I can see it from a mile away if guys have, this is going to sound crazy but, either they have low basketball IQ or high basketball. Yeah, I can spot it from a mile away, so that’s what I admire the most."

LeBron on how many interactions he had with Kennard when he played for James’ AAU team: “No, not enough. Not enough. Not enough.”

LeBron on playing with Luke Kennard: “First of all, I haven't even gotten to the point where I even confronted him about breaking my scoring record in Ohio, when he passed me. But he did play for my AAU team, so we kinda even. But I mean listen, he's a really good basketball player. A lot of people kind of harp on his shooting obviously 'cause he shoots the ball so elite. But his playmaking ability as well. Him being able to crack the defense when they run him off the line. And he made some great spread out passes today. After he had just hit a three across from our bench. He had another one, by our bench and passed it up 'cause he saw Vando (Jarred Vanderbilt) underneath the hole, underneath the rim and Vando got the dunk, forced them [the Warriors] to call a timeout. So just a really good basketball player [that] we happen to have.”

JJ Redick on Maxi Kleber: “I think the group, the last two games, and Maxi's certainly led on this, but the group, the last two games, just doing what is necessary to win that game. Tonight required something a little bit different, but a little bit similar to Thursday. That was Thursday, right? Thursday against Philly and he's, again, he's a pro and he's going to be in the mix in terms of his physicality and rebounding and he had the big blocked shot in the fourth. So just another great game from him.”
