LeBron dismisses Kanter: He's 'always looking for attention'
LeBron James continues to swat Enes Kanter away like a pesky fly.
Kanter furthered his feud with James on Tuesday, when he anointed referee Kane Fitzgerald the King of Cleveland as the first and only official to eject James in 15 seasons.

When asked about this latest barb from Kanter, James only had one response. "(Kanter's) always looking for attention," he told Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com.
Kanter rarely makes headlines with his own performances, but he does manage to stay relevant by hitting back at the league's best players. He spent most of the last season trolling Kevin Durant on behalf of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and now it's onto James.
Kanter got in James' face in a heated showdown in New York earlier this month when the Cavaliers star impeded the progress of Knicks rookie Frank Ntilikina after suggesting the Knicks made a mistake by passing on the opportunity to draft Dennis Smith Jr.
He continued the conversation after the game, as Kanter called James a "queen" and a "princess", while James simply said Kanter must "always have something to say."
