Owen doesn't think James is his best friend. Owen is a very eccentric player. This also makes Owen's remarks often cause great controversy, but in the stage of cooperation with Owen, James often stands up to defend Owen. However, Owen didn't take James too seriously. It can be said that Owen can win the NBA championship, and it is precisely because he left James with the help of James that Owen's performance has never broken through.
Second, James's help also made Owen unable to see his true strength. It can be said that James is very helpful to Owen, but it also makes Owen very conceited. Because Owen thought he could be the leader of a team alone, but because of James' existence, his leadership ability didn't really come into play, so Owen chose to leave the Cavaliers.
Third, Owen's remarks completely wasted James's efforts over the years. Over the years, Owen's every move has made James feel very sad. Although James doesn't often express his dissatisfaction with Owen, once James expresses his dissatisfaction with Owen in public, it must be extremely disappointing to James.
Of course, we are also very lucky for James, because James found the most suitable teammate anthony davis at the end of his career, and although Owen joined forces with kevin durant later, the Nets were not the biggest contender for the championship. It can be said that Owen's career may never have anything to do with the championship again.
