《The Soul Of Basketball: The Epic Showdown Between LeBron, Kobe, Doc, and Dirk
That Saved the NBA》
Riley:
[I] asked how things were progressing. They just said, “We’re not feeling
it, or something like that.” We talked about the typical things we have to
do, have patience, all that stuff.
And I remember LeBron looking at me and he said, “Don’t you ever get the
itch?”
And I said, “The itch for what?”
He said, “The itch to coach again.”
I said, “No I don’t have the itch.”
He didn’t ask any more questions and I didn’t offer any more answers but I
know what it meant and I always go back and wonder what he was thinking at
that time. He walked out scratching at his leg like it was itching.
