LeBron James and Dwyane Wade seem awfully loose for a team that is down 1-0 in the NBA Finals. Maybe it’s the fact that they’ve been here before, twice, or maybe it’s because they know the San Antonio Spurs didn’t get the Heat’s best shot in Game 1.

(This is where I’m supposed to remind you about how LeBron James couldn’t finish the game because of his cramping that was triggered by the sauna that was the AT&T Center in Game 1, but I’m sick and tired of talking about it so I won’t.)

Anyways, Saturday before practice, LeBron was having his normal pre-practice media availability. It was all ho-hum until it turned into a comedy hour when LeBron went all Allen Iverson “practice” on us. Thanks to one, Dwyane Wade.

Of course.

OK, that was pretty funny, LeBron. But I’m sure Michael Jordan would’ve found a way to be even funnier. That’s how the joke goes, right?

Was this planned? I kind of really wanna know.

In other news, Allen Iverson continues to find ways (inadvertently) to stay relevant.

Also, Game 2 is tonight. Thank God.
