Just days after being questioned about unfollowing the Cleveland Cavaliers on Twitter, small forward LeBron James is poking fun at the media for examining his every move.
In a Vine, James eats a banana while pretending to be a member of the press.
“Why are you eating a banana, LeBron?” James says. “Does that mean you’re going to slip on a banana peel out of Cleveland?”
Well played.
James was not in a joking mood on Monday following Cleveland’s 124–92 win over the Nuggets. James refused to answer a question about unfollowing his own team and then abruptly ended the post-game interview.
