Intro:

Cleveland Cavaliers' stars LeBron James and Kevin Love spoke to the media on Thursday ahead of their match-up with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers forward
"I mean you've got to be smart about it. Your body will tell you when it needs time and that's how I know."
Q: Adam Silver was receptive to when said we need a longer All Star break, do you think he'd be receptive to something else?
"I don't know. I hadn't thought about that."
Q. How did you feel yesterday?
"Like I was out for two weeks. For sure. Got a lot of treatment yesterday and going to get more today and get ready to play tonight."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Kevin Love, Cleveland Cavaliers forward
"No, not quite. I obviously spent the last six years in Minnesota. This is a different dynamic because we have arguably - I believe - is the best player in the world. So we know that we're going to be a focal point of the media and a lot of things are going to be dissected. So no never really been a part of anything like this because it's just too hard to duplicate or replicate."

SOUNDBITE: (English) LeBron James (on Kobe Bryant)
"Well, first of all being a very good friend of his it always...you don't ever want to see anyone have struggles, physically or just your game in general. Always wish him the best for sure. He's played a lot of basketball and the competitor that he is and he wants to be out there, but we've played a lot of basketball over the years. He has a few more years than me for sure and a lot more miles on his body, but hopefully he can get to as close to healthy as possible so he can play at the level he's capable of playing."
