As the NBA playoffs progress, games often include more and more celebrities making courtside cameos in each round. And while Cleveland is not New York in that respect (and many others), it still drew some famous faces when the Cavaliers played New York. boston celtics In Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, actor mark wahlberg, reality TV personality khloe kardashian, Adele’s boyfriend rich paul and Space Jam: New Legacy star LeBron James. Attending on monday.
Naturally, that last famous person was got most of the buzz. Was the king sending a reminder? lakers Will he do what he wants this offseason, or will he have an NBA home ready and willing to return to? Was he trying to recruit Donovan Mitchell to Los Angeles? Did his podcast co-host JJ Reddick prank him and tell him he was calling this game for ESPN so they could meet up afterwards and record it in person? These are all interesting questions, but the most important question, and probably the one that only this blogger would have the courage to ask, is simple…
Is LeBron James a bad Cavs fan?
First, some background. James was ready to have a good time while rooting for the Cavaliers at his hometown arena, but he was clearly holding his own, as in addition to bottles of wine and (presumably) coffee, he also had multiple water bottles. I was trying to find out how he felt. Stay hydrated:
23 year old staff as our own residents I got it., mixing coffee and wine is wild, but perhaps LeBron just wanted to be prepared for any scenario and wasn’t actually drinking both at the same time. If the game is boring, he can stay awake. If that appealed to him, he could enjoy a nice bottle of wine and a game of basketball. In any case, this only scratches the surface of the level of preparation that allowed him to play at this level until the age of 39.
Anyway, as you can imagine, Cleveland showed the man who brought them their first NBA Championship a lot of love when he appeared on the 2019 Jumbotron. Some of the most brazen falsifications in history Heartwarming moment:
But as good as that is, LeBron wasn’t completely ready for it. Not only that, he don’t wear a shirt He gave it to Cavs fans, but then he left early as they looked like they were going to lose.
I can’t wait for this to become a meme for Cavs fans when their team is about to lose or play badly, but here’s how LeBron’s influence from his time in Miami shaped his behavior as a player. I know what you did. He’s a sports fan, and he says his time with the Lakers has only strengthened that. Leaving work early and not wearing a free shirt are standard fare for celebrities and wealthy people, both in his old and current locations. He really is a Beach City guy now.
But, honestly, it’s pretty funny that LeBron is the real 39-year-old father here. He knew that every last minute he waited would cost him at least an extra 10-20 minutes to get out of the parking lot. And he wasn’t trying to get home at midnight instead of 11 p.m. After all, he needs his LeRest. .
But even if LeBron doesn’t survive the “bad fan” allegations, no one will doubt his credentials as an NBA podcaster.Because if there’s one thing Every blogger knows, This Celtics team has a unique ability to crumble late in playoff games even among great rosters. He’d seen them do it enough over the past few years to know that even with their worst loss in postseason history, he could still barf all over… at least. Until Jaylen Brown’s final dagger hits a jumper.With just over a minute left, they brought Boston back up to seven points and essentially shut down the other team. Ultimately, 109-102, victory.
Maybe Boston could have managed to spit it out if Mitchell had played, but maybe LeBron is also a better Cavs fan than I gave him credit for above — he clearly is now. You’ve watched enough Cleveland games this season to know that won’t happen. without the most important contributor and his Could be a future teammate.
So, What is the final verdict?LeBron James is just a Cavs fan. A hardcore hardcore player would have been delusional enough to hold out hope until the end, but James is playing against an opponent who is better, healthier, older and wiser than them. I tried to avoid traffic as much as possible on the way home, without worrying about the embarrassment of a fandom that has been removed enough to know when a team is eliminated. He’s a really friendly king.
