Former NBA players Richard Jefferson and Fry discuss how they feel about playing with James on the Road Trippin’ Show podcast

"Playing with LeBron (James) is, if you want to win a championship, it's 'bad' because he's one of the most competitive athletes in American sports history. When you show up, he's been training for four hours, and you're like 'oh my god', when he watches video and you screw up a tactic, he's like 'bastard, what are you doing?' Yes, these are all shortcomings, but there are also shortcomings in playing with Jordan, and there are also shortcomings in playing with Kobe. There are always shortcomings in playing with great players who demand excellence. There are always shortcomings when you try to win at the highest level," Jefferson said.

Fry said: "I think if you know yourself, there are really no shortcomings. Because when LeBron shouts Channing, I really can't move. He will say, 'What? Have you not watched the video?' I said, I just can't get that ball. He will say, 'No, Channing, go get the ball back.' How to get it? What do you want me to do? It's too late. LeBron, I'm me. I don't get every rebound, I'm that. So don't expect those great opponents to lower your expectations of you."

Fry and Jefferson were teammates with James when they were in the Cavaliers, and they won the 2016 championship for the Cavaliers.
