    At first I thought this comment was actually about the Cavs and was confised, because it doesn't look sarcastic. After having watched the video, he might have meant that but I also don't think he was intentionally trying to take a jab at the Cavs...

    What better way to ingratiate yourself with new team than to bash your old team? which just happens to be the team they faced in the Finals.

    I don't see it as implying the Cavs don't love each other.

    I think he just felt the vibe in GS is that different. I'd say that locker room is head shoulders above any other one and you can see it clearly on the court.

    Me neither. I thought he was just giving the Warriors players props

    Same here. He wasn't taking a shot at the Cavs, imo. As for the Warriors, it is obvious to anyone they really like each other. You don't have to be in that locker room to pick up on it. It's one of the things I hope Luke can bring to our team if he ends up our coach. Hopefully he can bring some of the things that helped them build their camaraderie. I'm not implying our team has problems or anything, but any little edge can help.

    That being said, LeBron apparently was a little frosty at the comment. This is what he said:

    ...probably meant there aren't too many big egos on the Warriors fostering a selfless environment. Cleveland has James, Irving, Love, Thompson, Smith.
