LeBron James Reacts as Childhood Friend Brandon Weems Named Cavaliers GM

LeBron James publicly congratulated his high school teammate and childhood friend, Brandon Weems, on being promoted to general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Weems, who joined Cleveland's front office in 2015, replaces Mike Gansey. Gansey left the Cavaliers to become president of basketball operations for the Philadelphia 76ers—the franchise James joined in July on a two-year, $8 million deal after leaving the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency amid a quiet offseason for the franchise.
