Yesterday Nets’ Reggie Evans insulted LeBron James when “LeBron is no different from Joe Johnson or Andray Blatche” and then indicated that Miami’s title run last season is diminished because the schedule was shortened due to the Lockout.

LeBron did respond right away when he heard what Reggie said and then went to Brooklyn and helped the Heat beat the Nets 105-85. Of course it didn’t stop there, directly after the game LeBron continued…

According to Brian Windhorst at ESPN.com:

James finished with 24 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in Wednesday’s 105-85 victory over the Nets, the third time Miami has blown out Brooklyn this season. Then he took aim at Evans’ comments.

“You can’t just come out and say something like that versus a champion,” James said. “No one knows what it takes unless you’ve done it. You can’t sit here and judge and talk about a team winning a championship unless you’ve done it. (Evans) hasn’t done it.”

James then looked down at the post-game stat sheet.

“Let me look at his numbers real quick — he had no offensive rebounds, so we did our number on him,” James said.

Evans had six defensive rebounds and did not score in 20 minutes. James said he did not speak to Evans during the game.

“For what? I let my game do the talking,” James said. “I’m not going to sit here and give Reggie Evans a lot of press, because that is what is going to happen for the next couple days.”

Evans declined to speak to reporters after the game. But his teammates were not pleased with the team’s effort this season against the Heat, who won all three games against the Nets by a combined total of 63 points.
