With LeBron James getting the night off against the Miami Heat, the Heat crowd broke out a “LeBron is tired” chant.

Despite wanting to play against his old team in Miami on Saturday, LeBron James got some rest while the Cleveland Cavaliers took on the Miami Heat in South Florida. The Cavaliers certainly could have used James against the Heat, as the they basically got waxed on the road.

With the Cavaliers struggling and the fans in Miami enjoying a win over a team that they’re fighting for seeding with in the Eastern Conference, the fans decided to have a chant that made fun of James for getting the night off and sitting on the bench.

The crowd in attendance broke out into a “LeBron is tired” chant and really let their former superstar forward hear it.

The camera immediately panned to James sitting on the Cavaliers’ bench and he did not look amused at all with his former fans calling him tired. While he did bring the team a couple of championships, it’s clearly all in good fun from the crowd as they chant about one of the more polarizing players in pro sports.

I mean, after all, they’re not exactly wrong.
