Tour de Miami

LeBron James didn’t feel like being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on Sunday on his way to the Bulls-Heat game in Miami, so he channeled his inner Lance Armstrong and rode his bike to the arena.

Smart man.

And environmentally-friendly man.

Because of the Miami marathon, there was congestion to American Airlines Arena. James, always one step ahead, found a way to beat it.

“The traffic,” LeBron said after the game to the media. “You guys drove here? You guys are crazy.”

The Heat defeated the Bulls and LeBron dropped 35. Did it have anything to do with the bike ride? Probably not.

Nonetheless, all those cars got a pretty close look at the King weaving through them like he did to Chicago defenders later in the day. That’s a nice consolation prize for being stuck in park. After all, It beats looking at the other cars stuck in park.
