Ohio State men's basketball | Adding Chris Jent to staff is 'great,' LeBron says

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Postseason play brings out a new level of focus for LeBron James, who pares down his social media offerings to better focus on the task at hand.

It’s likely why today, as the Cleveland Cavaliers prepare to host Toronto in the opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals, James said he wasn’t aware that Ohio State had hired Chris Jent as an assistant coach in mid-April. After being told, James said that Buckeyes coach Thad Matta made a smart hire to replace Jeff Boals.

“I think it’s great,” James said inside the Cleveland Clinic Courts.
