LeBron James is more focused on his rivalry with Kevin Durant than we realized.
Here's a fantastic quote from LeBron about KD trying to take his title for Lee Jenkins of Sports Illustrated. If you like the NBA, this is everything you've ever wanted to read.
LeBron:
"I know there is someone, somewhere, trying to take my spot. And I know where he is too. He's in Oklahoma. He's my inspiration because I see the direction he's headed, and it's the same direction I'm headed. I know his mind-set, and he knows mine. It's a collision course. We're driving one another."
Awesome.
LeBron vs. Durant will be the dominant NBA narrative for the next five years. It isn't just a rivalry between two teams, it's a battle between two potentially all-time great players for the title of the league's alpha male.
And now we know that LeBron is totally self-aware of his dynamic with KD, and he's actively trying to keep the upper hand.
