LeBron appears to be tired of the scrutiny he faces every day, judging by this ‘impression’ (via @Shaqtin_A_Fool)https://t.co/LcbPJXrg6q

Every day for the last week, something substantial has been written in the media about LeBron James. It makes sense, too. As one of the biggest athletes and celebrities in the world, any time he scratches his nose, it makes headlines. When he unfollows his team on Twitter and Instagram in the dizzying final month of the regular season, stories get written. When he gets asked about the unfollowing and subsequently shuts down a press conference, stories get written. When he appears to re-follow his team in the wake of people taking notice of his Twitter fingers, more stories get written. Stories especially get written when LeBron tells a Bleacher Report senior writer that he would take a pay cut to team up with Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul right around the time basketball analysts begin to question his relationship with his current co-star, Kyrie Irving. LeBron knows this, and though he may not like it, he deals with it.
Dealing with it, for LeBron, apparently includes hilariously mocking the media’s obsession with his every move by impersonating a reporter as he jokingly asks himself why he’s eating a banana. “Is it because you’re going to slip on the banana peel out of Cleveland?” he continues as he’s egged on by a teammate.
You gotta love it.
