LeBron James said he can’t wait to get past the playoff series against the Boston Celtics so he can figure out how he’ll falter in the NBA Finals this year.
The Miami Heat superstar, who essentially disappeared in last year’s Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, plans to out-do himself this year.
“He’s given us a preview of some of his planned excuses,” said teammate Dwyane Wade. “Everything from back spasms to a toothache to an ill-fitting uniform.”
Although a LeBron-led team will likely never win a championship, the reigning MVP’s teammates find him entertaining to watch.
“I think the way he suffered from ‘fatigue’ in the 2007 Finals against the Spurs was my favorite choke to date,” said Heat center Chris Bosh. “As long as LeBron’s your teammate, you can rest assured that you’ll finish the season in second place…which is still pretty awesome!”
