PHOTO: Comedian Mike Epps pretended to attend Eastern Conference finals Game 1

Here's one of the weirder stories you'll see today: comedian (and Indianapolis native) Mike Epps pretended to attend Game 1 between the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers on Sunday.

In a series of tweets and pictures, Epps told quite the tale of his supposed adventures.

First, Epps claimed to be in attendance, and posted a photo to "prove" his claim. However, as seen in this photo, the Heat wore red jerseys on Sunday. 

Also, the photo shows Heat forward Rashard Lewis on the court behind Pacers guard George Hill, even though Lewis was a DNP for the game.

After his earlier tweet was proven false, Epps tweeted out a second photo to substantiate his claim.

His second claim is even easier to disprove, as it's almost entirely false. 

First, the Pacers game was played today, not "last nite". Second, the photo was posted on Sunday at 7:49 p.m. ET, yet Game 1 ended at around 6:00 p.m. ET, which meant Epps would have traveled from Indianapolis to Australia within two hours, which is simply not possible.
