LeBron James and Erik Spoelstra addressed their now-famous bump heading into a timeout in Dallas on Saturday. Both said the bump was unintentional and not an attempt to send a message.
"I didn't realize. I don't think Coach realized it either, until it was brought up to our attention," James said. "Really, nothing, honestly, incidental contact I guess. It wasn't intentional or anything."
Spoelstra gave a similar account.
"I didn't even notice it until people mentioned it after the game," Spoelstra said. "Often, coming out of the timeout, it's a pinball game. I'm colliding into a lot of people. So it's probably a perfect case of over-speculation from this team."
