On Tuesday, Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry tried to clear up comments he made about Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James after Toronto defeated the Miami Heat on Sunday in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Lowry told ESPN's Doris Burke that James "is probably one of the best players in the league besides [Stephen Curry]":
He addressed the media before Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against James and the Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena, per ESPN.com's Mike Mazzeo:
"I would never throw (any) shade on one of the greatest players in history of basketball. I would never do that. Some people will take it for too much. LeBron is LeBron James. He'll probably be (one of the) top three players of all time when he retires."
James seemingly didn't flinch at those comments, telling the media that he took no offense to what Lowry said, per Mazzeo.
After all, Curry has won the past two MVP awards, is the best player on the greatest regular-season team in NBA history and set a new league record with 402 made three-pointers this year.
