Frye said, “What’s crazy, now that I’m on this side, he’s such an open book. I don’t know if we’ve ever been that accessible to a mega-superstar like that…There’s not a lot of privacy there. I would say Bron is a big goofball though.”

James likes to have fun with teammates

Frye added that LeBron James is a ‘goofball’ who enjoys joking around with his teammates and friends. While James understands when it is time to get serious and does so successfully, he truly enjoys himself around his teammates during lighter moments. But it is James’ dedication to the sport, and how hard he works that has garnered him so much success. James works hard to play at the highest level whenever he can; he doesn’t take shortcuts.

Frye said, “As serious as he is, he is a big goofball, he just wants to be around his teammates. Like I said, he’s one of the best teammates I’ve been around. Just what he does, his commitment to each and every game, and his commitment to winning championships is the reason why people want to play with him.”
