The Undertaker caused quite a stir when he appeared at the Q Arena for the opening of the 2016-17 NBA season. The “Dead Man” appeared in full attire with most Cavs players taking time out to pose with the WWE star.
Kevin Love, James Jones, and Chris Andersen took time out to greet and pose with the Undertaker, all obvious WWE fans. LeBron James has shown his enthusiasm for the WWE before so it comes as a mystery why the future NBA Hall of Famer didn’t bother to come out and follow his teammates, NESN reported.
It turns out that James didn’t want to do more favors for the WWE anymore, calling to mind the times when he wore the Undertaker t-shirt that was for a time part of his playoff wardrobe. As it turns out based on reports, the whole thing may have been more of a publicity stunt and James isn’t keen on going beyond that, Fox Sports reported.

Cutting to the chase, it turns out that business comes first for James and company even if the Undertaker just wanted to meet and say hello to the NBA star. Given that he is a big star and someone who would require appointments, it may be hard to understand why anyone would let business come in between a person who has done so much in the WWE.
James is likely to do damage control soon and explain the initial reports. He does have an image to protect and somehow the explanation on the Undertaker shun do seem a bit harsh. As it is, James just made Undertaker look like a mere mortal where all he thought about was business and doing favors.
