A day after posting a picture working out with Eric Bledsoe and calling out the Phoenix Suns, LeBron James is going on a road trip with his mini-self.
On Friday, James called Bledsoe a “future all-star” and told the Suns to “break bread” in an Instagram post that showed the two working out in a gym together. James and Bledsoe share the same agent Rich Paul and have been friends for a while.
"Road trip with the homies @ebled2 & Cocamo. #DuecesAndSmilesToTheHaters #Family #StriveForGreatnessFollowing"
Because they are friends, they apparently decided to take a road trip together with some guy named Cocamo getting suckered into driving. James gets shot gun and Bledsoe is forced to sit in the back seat. Where are they going? Only they know.

James and Bledsoe spending time together is more interesting because of who he isn’t spending time with–his new teammates in Cleveland Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. When he was with the Heat, James was mostly seen with Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen or James Jones. He was spending time and bonding off the court with the guys he spends most of his days with during the season.
On his Instagram, he’s only posted pictures of spending time with Tristan Thompson and Mike Miller, both of which were pictures of him in the gym working out. But nothing like a road trip or actually, you know, hanging out with this teammates.
We knew James wasn’t as close with Irving or Love as he was with Wade or Bosh when he first joined those squads, but its noticeable how little time he has spent with his new guys this summer.
