The Dead Man, in full WWE character attire, posted up outside the Cavs locker room and met several of members of the NBA Championship team. One player conspicuously absent was the 2016 NBA Finals MVP, LeBron James. According to Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com, this was no accident.
James arrived to The Q arena before The Undertaker arrived and word quickly spread that The Undertaker was posted outside the locker room “for an uncomfortable hour” or so, hoping to meet King James. The cameras were rolling and WWE and The Undertaker were ready to capture footage of Taker sharing a celebratory moment with James. Unfortunately, James was having none of it. Vardon wrote:
“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.”
It seems that unless The Undertaker goes through the proper channels, this might be as close as he gets to LeBron James:
