LeBron James reiterated how pleased he is with how his relationship with Erik Spoelstra evolved over the season.

“Me and coach Spo have grown over the year,” James said. “We’re still growing. He’s very efficient and very passionate. It was an adjustment, the same adjustment me and D-Wade had to go through, trying to play with each other. As the year went on, we learned each other.

“You get to a point where you know what each other is thinking without even saying it. It’s his third year, he’s getting better and better and better every day with our relationship, and I’ve done the same with him. I respect him.”
