Fulfilling their media obligations following a gargantuan 135-103, series-clinching win over the Boston Celtics in Game 5, the quartet of Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, LeBron James, and J.R. Smith couldn’t wait to pose for a group selfie and bask in their postseason glory.
Love took a look at his phone, and after getting the approval from Thompson, held his phone up and smiled for the selfie, getting James to stop impromptu and turn around for the picture, with Smith coming around just in time for the group shot.
James was forced to stop mid-sentence to make the team photo, but immediately went back into his answer to NBATV’s Kristen Ledlow as smoothly as it comes.
After all, he’s had to do this very same pre-NBA Finals routine since 2010.
Old habits die hard.
