Well here’s a great headline right before the Heat take on the Nets tonight (on ESPN at 8p). Apparently Reggie Evans thinks that “LeBron is no different from Joe Johnson or Andray Blatche.”   Oh realllllly?!?!  C’mon b! SMH. Check out what he exactly had to say after the jump … and oh yea, check out what LeBron had to say in response. #classic

According to  at Ball Don’t Lie:

On Wednesday morning, the Brooklyn bruiser shared some thoughts on welcoming the defending champs with Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News. Chief among them: That they’re not really “champs,” and that their MVP isn’t really anything to write home about.

The Heat is just another team and LeBron is just another player to Reggie Evans, who indicated Miami’s title run last season is diminished because the schedule was shortened.

“It doesn’t prove nothing,” Evans told the Daily News when asked what it would mean to beat the defending champs. “That was a lockout season.” […]

“Our team is defending the Miami Heat. If our team has to defend one person, LeBron isn’t going to score nothing. … LeBron is no different from Joe Johnson or Andray Blatche. No different,” Brooklyn’s starting power forward said. “People need help (on defense). Some people don’t need help. Everybody has to be double-teamed, it doesn’t matter who you are. You just have to stop LeBron in transition.

“He’s quick in transition. If you look at Joe Johnson — Joe Johnson has two or three people trying to stop him. Whoever is guarding him.”

 

THEN LeBron responded…First Look at the tweet in the gallery…then this…

But Evans wasn’t the only one spitting fire on Wednesday morning — (LeBron) Mr. No Different from Joe Johnson and Andray Blatche had some choice comments to share with Bondy, too, focused on the difference between the Avery-era Nets and the P.J.-era Nets:

“They are not doing anything different. They are playing with more passion, more together, they are playing like they want to play for their coach,” James said. “It sucks that Avery had to take the hit of them not wanting to play at a high level, but that’s what it looks like to me. They haven’t changed their offense, they haven’t changed their defense. They’ve picked it up in intensity level and you can tell they like to play for P.J.”
