David Blatt had a nice chat with LeBron James in nothing but a towel

“That man was naked,” LeBron James said afterward.

The Cleveland Cavaliers crushed the Toronto Raptors Monday night, so it’s no surprise that the mood in the Cleveland locker room was jovial afterward. Among the sights and sounds: coach David Blatt strolling around in nothing but a towel.

The Akron Beacon Journal’s Jason Lloyd reports:

Funny postgame moment: As James was leaving the locker room, Blatt -- wearing only a towel -- swung open the door to his office and called James over to him.

“C’mon Coach,” James said. “I can’t talk to you like this.”

He did, though. James obliged and after the two briefly chatted, James turned and walked toward Tristan Thompson. “That man was naked,” James said.

“Players walk around locker rooms in towels all the time,” writes Lloyd. “Unusual to see coaches do it, however.”

Indeed.
