MILWAUKEE (AP) — LeBron James says the Cleveland Cavaliers can learn a lesson from the Green Bay Packers.

The Heat forward was asked if he could relate to Brett Favre’s bitter departure from Wisconsin three seasons ago before Miami played the Bucks on Monday night.

Favre was traded to the New York Jets in 2008 after the Packers’ franchise grew tired of the three-time NFL MVP’s offseason indecision. James left Cleveland for Miami as a free agent this offseason in a one-hour TV special dubbed “The Decision.”

James says Favre had great years in Green Bay and any time a great competitor leaves, no one wants to see it. At the same time, James points out that the organization did a great job of regrouping with Aaron Rodgers and believes Cleveland will do the same.
