LeBron James has apparently heard of the ‘coach killer’ tag recently vested on him, and he is not happy.

If you failed to catch that post yesterday, we did provide some details on a claim by a minority holder of the Miami Heat that James almost had current coach Erik Spoelstra fired back in 2014.

Raanan Katz revealed through a radio station interview that the issue played a part on why the Cavs forward left the team that year.

It was believed that James left because he wanted to return home. However, Katz says that it was because Heat president Pat Riley stood by Spoelstra and told James that no one tells him how to run the organization.

"I think it does suck that people want to throw my name in the dirt," says James in an interview with ABC News.

The star forward has apparently heard of the issue and technically denies any of the claims hurled towards him, including the ‘coach killer’ tag.

Recall that David Griffin made it clear that Blatt was dismissed because of dissension from within. That despite the fact that the Cavs were leading the Eastern Conference was something that got many thinking. Why would a team suddenly dismiss a coach for achieving so much with a depleted lineup?

It was here where James' name was dragged into the mix. Before Katz, there were already rumors that James had a hand on it. He of course denied it, and such was backed up by Griffin.

Things got heated up with Katz claims, and such has apparently gotten the ‘King’ pretty upset.

"People get it so misconstrued because I'm a smart basketball player and I've voiced my opinion about certain things, which I did when I was here my first stint with Paul Silas and Mike Brown. Which I did in Miami with Coach Spo [Erik Spoelstra]. Which I did with Blatt and I'll do with T-Lue. At the end of the day, they'll still have their final call," explains James on the issue.

James was eventually asked if he knew Katz at all, and apparently, he hasn’t even met him.

"I've never met that guy," says James. "I don't even know if a lot of guys who actually played ever met him. I was there for four years, and I never met him. I think my relationship with Spo had nothing to do with that.

When someone mentioned that Katz was a former part-owner of Maccabi Tel Aviv, a team that Blatt used to coach, everything made sense to him.

"There you go. There's a direct correlation right there. Makes sense," he says in parting.
