As drama and controversy (real or imagined) continue to burble out of Cleveland, an exasperated LeBron James can't help but succumb to his facetious side.

Poking fun at the ever-churning media machine that clings onto and picks apart his every action, James joked that even something as innocuous as eating a banana can be imbued with underlying intent, if one so chooses.
"Why are you eating a banana, LeBron?" he says, in his best approximation of a reporter's drawl. "Does that mean you gon' slip on a banana peel, outta Cleveland?"
Seems like a fair question to us.
Although, if bananas are truly what James craves, it's hard to imagine him finding them in greater abundance anywhere than the Cavs' locker room.
