Once a professional sporting event ends, players head to the locker room and for a few minutes are given free reign. During that time they often shower and calm their emotions before the locker room is opened up to media members.
Of course, not everybody rushes to finish up their grooming habits in that short amount of time so often times there are players that remain half dressed, much like LeBron James was after the Cleveland Cavaliers victory over the Miami Heat on Monday night.
James, wrapped in nothing more than a towel, apparently noticed a couple members of the media taking still photos of him. That’s obviously a no-no (and why they were doing it is beyond me), but those who were trying to snap the pictures were quickly escorted out of the Cavs locker room according to Cleveland.com.
In the back of the scrum surrounding him, two media members in plain view were rapidly snapping photos of James with their phones while he was answering questions. This time team personnel caught the suspects in the act and removed them from the locker room.
You may be thinking, “Well, what’s the problem?” The problem is that you’re prohibited from taking still photography in the locker room area. Aside from it being totally unprofessional, it’s not a good look for reporters. In addition, it’s one of the things that infuriate James and other players the most.
It seems pretty evident what those ‘media’ members were attempting to do, which is pretty embarrassing on their part.
