After the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 121-112 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night, LeBron James and Lonzo Ball met near half-court for a brief chat. Both players covered their mouths with their jerseys, and what was said in their discussion is still up for debate.

These are all great creations, to be sure.
Prior to Thursday night’s game, James spoke highly of Ball’s humility, despite his father’s braggadocios attitude. After the game, the King was asked if he’s mentoring Lonzo. James didn’t offer much of a response, saying: “That’s none of ya’ll’s business.”
