LeBron James was generally OK with the experiment the Knicks tried during tried by not pumping in any noise or entertainment around the game: "They said they were doing it just to get the authentication of the game itself. I thought that was a pretty cool idea, if it'll work. I don't know. The Knicks can do whatever they want. They tried something, so I'm not against that. You give fans an opportunity to hear the sneakers, the ball, the shot, the moan and grunts and the players calling out plays and things of that nature. I'm all about authenticity. But we also know music is also part of basketball, the in-game, the Jumbotron is all part of the game."
