LeBron James may not be on social media, but when he heard the internet was critical of Turner Sports sideline reporter Allie LaForce for a postgame question she asked him about the late Erin Popovich on Wednesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar came to her defense.
Erin, the wife of San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, died Wednesday after an extended illness. The news broke as James was on the court playing against the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the opening round of the 2018 NBA playoffs.
