One of Cleveland’s biggest sport stars, the ‘King’ himself hoped that he would have traveled to Cleveland just because the crowd was so wild. Moreover, he also said that the event was entertaining. This left the Ohio boy emotional at the press conference as he couldn’t believe that LeBron himself came out and spoke so highly of him.
Jake said: “For him to beat about this, that’s crazy. I am being really hard on myself, but man, I have accomplished so much in the past 4 fights. No one’s doing this you know. Trying not to cry but for him to even tweet that is crazy.”
