LeBron James Talks Trash About Dunking on Jason Terry

In case there wasn’t enough of a rivalry going right now, LeBron James had a few parting words for Jason Terry after his dunk Monday night against Boston’s sixth man. This comes from Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com at the Heat’s shootaround today.

“I’ve had a chance to (review) it and it was one of my better ones,” James said. “The fact that it happened to J.T. made it that much sweeter. Because we all know J.T. and he talks too much sometimes. And I’m glad it happened to him.”

The James-Terry rivalry started during the 2011 when Terry said James wouldn’t be able to guard him effectively for the entire NBA Finals when the Heat took on Terry’s Dallas Mavericks. Terry finished the series strong offensively and the Mavericks won the title, 4-2.

Jason Terry had a non-response today at the C’s shootaround, via Gary Washburn at The Boston Globe.

 

Well played Jet, well played. I still don’t get the fascination about athletic freaks dunking on smaller guards. It’s impressive at the time, but let’s move along folks. Nothing to see here.

A couple other items of note from today’s shootaround. Kevin Garnett, as expected, will be back in action tonight against the Hornets. The team officially signed D.J. White to a multi-year deal today (with a team option for next season). More on that deal later.

Finally, it appears, based on Doc’s comments that the team will sign Shavlik Randolph as we at CelticsHub suspected for the remainder of the season as well, sometime tomorrow.
