The NBA season is right around the corner. Media Day is a tradition, it kicks off training camp, kind of like an unofficial opening day. This media day was one everybody was excited about for a multitude of reasons. A lot of big name players moved to new teams this offseason, the Warriors are coming of their championship, and LeBron called Trump a bum. So without no further ado, here are some of the best responses from Media Day.
One of the highlights of LeBron’s media day was when he was asked about giving Kyrie Irving advice
LeBron James have no more advice for Kyrie Irving. 😂

Then he would follow that up with doubling down on his Trump comments, even asking the reporter to say it with him.

Keeping it in the Central division, the Chicago Bulls are now in rebuild mode. They had to rebuild their entire roster and apparently it might still need fixing,

The team that had the best offseason was without a doubt the OKC Thunder. They acquired Melo and Paul George and one reporter had the balls to ask Melo if he’s willing to come off the bench.

That comment had the entire Thunder roster laughing, but that wasn’t enough to break the ice because this reporter was still nervous when it was time to ask Westbrook a question

But Westbrook’s best response of the day came when he was asked about fashion.
Russell Westbrook has been a fashion icon his whole life. 😂

Mike Conley of the Memphis Grizzlies spoke about an interesting new friendship he made over the offseason.
