**LeBron James Faces Accusations of Team Cherry-Picking from Michael Jordan’s Former Agent**
In a shocking turn of events that has left the basketball world reeling, LeBron James has been accused of cherry-picking players from the roster of Michael Jordan’s former agent, David “The Negotiator” Falk. The allegations surfaced after a particularly intense game of pickup basketball at a local gym, where witnesses claim they saw LeBron “strategically” selecting players who bore an uncanny resemblance to the 1990s Chicago Bulls.
“I mean, come on! One guy was wearing a red jersey and had a mustache that screamed ‘Scottie Pippen’,” said gym-goer and self-proclaimed basketball expert, Chuck “The Ref” Thompson. “I thought I was watching a documentary on ESPN Classic!”
Falk, who has been known to represent some of the greatest players in NBA history, issued a statement that read, “LeBron is just mad because I told him he can’t have my secret stash of Air Jordans. I mean, who wouldn’t want to wear shoes that can literally jump over a car?”
In a bizarre twist, LeBron responded to the accusations by saying, “I’m just trying to build a super team, okay? If that means picking players who can shoot like they’re possessed by the spirit of MJ, then so be it! Besides, I thought ‘cherry-picking’ was just a fancy term for my diet.”
Meanwhile, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has announced an emergency meeting to discuss the implications of these allegations. “We need to ensure that the integrity of the game is upheld,” he said, while simultaneously trying to figure out how to monetize the upcoming ‘LeBron vs. Jordan’ reality show.
As the drama unfolds, one thing is clear: whether it’s cherry-picking or just a really intense game of basketball, LeBron James is always ready to slam dunk his way into the headlines. And if that means channeling his inner Jordan, well, let’s just say the basketball gods are probably rolling their eyes—while secretly enjoying the show.
