Timofey Mozgov misses the Cavaliers, and LeBron James makes the feeling mutual (Ball Don’t Lie)
During Cleveland's championship parade, LeBron James told a crowd the NSFW story of how he met Timofey Mozgov in Golden State before a January 2015 game against the Warriors, when Cavaliers GM David Griffin was desperately in need of a rim protector to plug a hole in the team's interior defense. "I come down the elevator, and Timo is in the lobby, and I swear it looked like I'd seen the biggest human being I've ever seen in my life," explained James, whose Cavs were mired in a 19-20 start to the 2014-15 season and owners of the NBA's fifth-worst defense at the time of their trade of two protected first-round picks for Mozgov. Once Mozgov got his bearings, the Cavaliers embarked upon a 12-game winning streak with a victory against the downward-trending Los Angeles Lakers, and from there you know the rest.
