LeBron James Blames Potential Pop Quiz for Poor Play in NBA Finals

According to Sports Illustrated, LeBron James is a dork.

“During the NBA Finals, he’s too busy studying to participate in practices,” admitted Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra. “A lot of people don’t realize this, but he’s currently getting his Masters in Biological Engineering at MIT.”

Many have speculated his thirst for knowledge is the reason he has yet to win a title, but James disagrees.

“It’s incongruous to blame a metaphysical paradigm,” said the three-time league MVP. “Simple ‘Bayesian linear regression’ indicates that barring injury, I’ll win two to three championship rings by the time I retire.”
