The meeting between the two teams is set to take place in Brazil this weekend, and emotions are expected to be at a high regardless of what both teams are saying. James spoke briefly about the matchup during an interview. Hit the jump for details.
Via ESPN:
Exactly three months to the day after James announced he was returning to Cleveland as a free agent, he will go up against those he left behind after winning two championships and making four trips to the NBA Finals in four years.
…James similarly downplayed the reunion when asked about it earlier this week.
“It’s not much of an issue for me going up against Miami, I think,” James said. “It’s a preseason game. It’s in Brazil so it’s not really on an NBA floor, as well. But it gives us an opportunity to keep on continuing to broaden the game in a huge, worldwide aspect and it will be great for both teams.”
