A few years into his Lakers tenure, LeBron James has fully embraced the Los Angeles rivalry with the Clippers. Both teams have NBA championship aspirations, and James made it clear just how willing he is to beat Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and company during a recent episode of his HBO show The Shop: Uninterrupted.
“If my mama play for the Clippers and she in the lane, she’s getting punched on,” James said. “And I hope she be like, ‘You know what son? You got that one. I’m coming back for yo’ ass, though.’ I hope so.”
The clip, which is making the rounds after the release of the show’s latest episode, stems from a discussion between James, Draymond Green, Lisa Leslie, P.J. Tucker, marketing executive Paul Rivera and James’s business partner and entrepreneur Maverick Carter.
