LeBron James Subs Himself Out Of Game, Draws Technical Foul (Video)
The Cleveland Cavaliers were up big against the Atlanta Hawks midway through the third quarter Saturday night, so LeBron James decided to sub himself out.
There was just one problem — you’re not allowed to do that.
Richard Jefferson tried to check himself in before the referees noticed the teams were playing four-on-five basketball, but it didn’t work. And the Cavaliers were assessed a technical foul as a result.
