OAKLAND – It was a quick moment, but a awesome show of respect by LeBron James.
Before Saturday’s Game 2 tipoff, the first game Steve Kerr has been on the bench for since Game 2 of the Golden State Warriors’ first round matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers, LeBron made a point to go over to Kerr and show some respect.
