Why LeBron wouldn't meet with The Undertaker at Knicks-Cavs game

LeBron James famously wore an Undertaker shirt during the NBA Finals last season, but was nowhere to be found when the WWE star came to support the Cleveland Cavaliers ahead of their home opener against the New York Knicks.

Despite The Undertaker reportedly waiting outside the Cavs' locker room for an "uncomfortable hour" to meet him, James never showed. Why? Allow Cleveland.com's Joe Vardon to explain:

Here's a life lesson. If you don't have an appointment, don't already know James personally, aren't a business associate or a small child, the odds of "meeting" James before or after a Cavs game in or near the locker room are not great. I once saw Houston Astros stud second baseman Jose Altuve try to get a meeting with James after a game against the Houston Rockets in Texas. The request came through various team PR officials. Let's just say James had no interest.

Another rule. James is not cool with someone purposefully trying to make money or gain fame through him, away from the court. In other words, no PR stunts that don't benefit James. He wore an Undertaker T-shirt. For him, that's enough.

Several Cavs players did come out to mingle with The Undertaker, though, including Kevin Love and Richard Jefferson.
