When it comes to the Washington Wizards’ rivalry with Cleveland and LeBron James, which will be renewed tomorrow night, Brendan Haywood and Caron Butler prefer the high road, while DeShawn Stevenson has no fear of the most direct route. But there’s no question it’s on players’ minds because Randy Foye took it upon himself to do homework to learn about it.
“I knew about it just from watching it, and I YouTube’d a few things,” said Foye. “I heard Brendan saying a few things. But I can remember watching the playoffs when he was supposedly getting fouled. But I think the biggest thing is, like I said before, is just that we play together as a team and try to get the victory… I just YouTubed DeShawn Stevenson versus LeBron and see what came up because I heard him talking about it, and so I got a little bit of everything. I heard Brendan talking. I heard Caron talking. I heard [ESPN’s] Stuart Scott saying things. From then on, I understood that it was a big rivalry.”
