LeBron James Mad He’ll Miss Super Bowl to Play the Toronto Raptors


There’s a 2 p.m. tipoff in Toronto for the Heat and Raptors this Sunday, which means the players will miss out on much of the live broadcast of the Super Bowl. LeBron James, tongue firmly in cheek we can only assume, finds the whole thing “disgusting”. Per the Sun-Sentinel: “Like other teammates, James is upset that the 2 p.m. start against the Toronto Raptors means the team will miss a significant part, if not all, of the Super Bowl, with the Heat’s current team plane lacking satellite television or wi-fi service. ‘How disgusting is that?’ he said. The Heat cannot delay their return from Toronto, with a Monday game at AmericanAirlines Arena against the Charlotte Bobcats. ‘If the Cowboys were in the Super Bowl, I’d stay there for the game,’ he said of his passionate football rooting interest.”
