NEWS: Why Lebron James Snubbed the Undertaker
NEWS: NBA star Lebron James is a huge life-long WWE fan. During the NBA finals against the Golden State Warriors, Lebron famously wore an Ultimate Warrior tee shirt to let the world know that he and his team were indeed the ultimate warriors. This years Cleveland Cavaliers' home opener was marked by a visit from WWE Superstar the Undertaker. Undertaker visited the team at Quicken Loans Arena and was instantly greeted by several Cavaliers who came out to express their admiration for the Dead Man. Lebron James was not one of them. According to Cleveland.com's Joe Vardon here is the reason why,
"James arrived at The Q before the wrestler and his posse, and claimed not to know he was out there. But of course the word immediately spread through the locker room that The Undertaker was waiting outside. Here’s a life lesson. If you don’t have an appointment, don’t already know James personally, aren’t a business associate or a small child, the odds of “meeting” James before or after a Cavs game in or near the locker room are not great. I once saw Houston Astros stud second baseman Jose Altuve try to get a meeting with James after a game against the Houston Rockets in Texas. The request came through various team PR officials. Let’s just say James had no interest. Another rule. James is not cool with someone purposefully trying to make money or gain fame through him, away from the court. In other words, no PR stunts that don’t benefit James. He wore an Undertaker T-shirt. For him, that’s enough.”
Let's all hope that one day, when Lebron James retires from the NBA, this leads him to make the decision to enter a professional wrestling ring, where the Phenom will get his hands on him for the blatant disrespect shown at the Cavs' home opener.
