Warriors rookie Jordan Bell honed skills against LeBron James at UCLA

For Warriors rookie Jordan Bell, these holiday meetings with LeBron James are becoming routine.

He and the Cleveland Cavaliers star already faced off on Christmas Day and will meet again on national television in a Martin Luther King Day showdown Monday in Cleveland.

Actually, Bell’s most memorable confrontation with his idol didn’t come under the bright lights of the NBA stage. It happened at a much smaller venue during a pickup game at UCLA. It was the highlight of Bell’s summer.
