Because I'm about to go all in on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. I haven't heard anybody talking about this and I'm stunned.

0:25.0

On Sunday night the Cavs gave up a 26 point lead against the Atlanta Hawks and then traveled to Miami.

0:35.0

Do you know what they did when they got to Miami. They went to at least several of them including LeBron James.

0:43.0

They went to live nightclub in the fountain blue hotel. I believe it's still where it's located. I've been to live which is probably going to upset a lot of people in terms of if you were betting on it.

0:55.0

I went there when Alabama was playing Notre Dame because that was the Alabama team hotel after the national title game. I went and checked out live.

1:03.0

But what I want you guys to think about is this after losing by 26 in the fourth quarter lead blowing a 26 point lead LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers got on an airplane and flew to Miami.

1:21.0

At that point in time they had lost back to back games to the Atlanta Atlanta Hawks of 500 level basketball team and those back to back losses had dropped the Cleveland Cavaliers into a dead tie with the Boston Celtics to win the Eastern Conference of the NBA to have home court advantage throughout the entirety of the NBA playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

1:47.0

That's ostensibly why the NBA regular season exists. So what would you do if you were LeBron James? Well your team is playing the Miami Heat on Monday night in Miami.

2:03.0

You've just lost to the Atlanta Hawks. You've now landed in Miami. You really can do anything because I'm a big believer in if you go out and you want to go to a party. You want to go to a club. You want to go gambling like Michael Jordan did before a playoff game.

2:19.0

As long as you show up the next day and play and play at a high level, I'm totally fine with it. Well LeBron James goes to live alongside J.R. Smith and I believe Tristan Thompson is the report. Again this is up on TMZ and they have pictures of them at live nightclub.

2:39.0

And then LeBron James doesn't play against the Miami Heat because they're resting him. This blows my mind. I don't know how this isn't a massive story. Is anybody else talking about this? Think about this in your own life.

2:56.0

If the only reason why the regular season exists, they say in the NBA entire season is to win home court advantage. You're in a dead heat with two games to go. You've just blown a 26 point lead in the fourth quarter against a mediocre Atlanta Hawks team.

3:20.0

Doesn't the competitor in you demand that you demand to play against the Miami Heat. And if you're not going to play, shouldn't you probably rest instead of going to a nightclub in Miami that runs into the day of the game.

3:41.0

This blows my mind that this isn't the number one story in America right now. LeBron James who claims that all he's about his championships has a chance to win the Eastern Conference sits out of game goes to a nightclub in Miami gives up because he sits out that game.

3:58.0

There was a tight game against the Miami Heat. I don't think there's any doubt that if LeBron James Tristan Thompson and and Kyrie Irving had played that the Miami Heat that Miami Heat probably lose this game to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

4:11.0

Instead all three of those guys sit out two of them go to live nightclub in Miami when they're supposed to be resting. That's the big story right to run loose says oh we got to rest our guys.

4:23.0

We got to make sure they're rested we got to make sure it's a long season it's a grind. Okay, if you're going to rest your guys. Does it help rest your guys to have them out all hours at a Miami nightclub on the day of the game.

4:37.0

I just I can't believe it. I am blown away by this. I think this is a huge story and I don't understand why I'm the only person talking about.

4:47.0

I got an email from a reader I had no idea with the TMZ I haven't seen it I mean from I had a good email from a reader about this TMZ story I had no idea was going on.

4:56.0

I had no idea was out there I haven't seen it covered anywhere. Isn't this a beyond the massive story. Again I want you to follow through on me with this story if you want to defend LeBron call me this is to me indefensible 877 996 6369 this is what happens.

5:14.0

Okay, I want you to follow this this string of story. You lose on your up and it looks like you're going to win the Eastern conference right the cabs go on the road against Boston they dominated that game.
