It had been a long summer so far for LeBron James, who came so close but failed to capitalize on winning a championship for the second consecutive year after making it to the NBA Finals for the fifth straight time.
Making it to the Finals that many times in a row is impressive enough, given that the last player to do so was a legend named Bill Russell. Still, it was obvious that James was hurting badly after losing to the Golden State Warriors 4-2, openly admitted that he was trying to recover from it, and didn’t use twitter again until about mid-July – nearly a month after his final game of the playoffs.
He seems to be doing okay now, though, with all the extracurricular stuff that has been going on in his life, and decided to give his followers some attention on Tuesday. James answered a plethora of noteworthy questions, as you’ll see below:
@FranzenLuca He’s a problem on that court! Love him!

This was a fantastic Q & A session by the King and hopefully, more superstars will follow suit because a simple reply to a tweet by someone of James’ stature can make a world of difference for fans around the world. Steven Ramirez probably shouldn’t hold his breath on that money/car promise, though.
