Last month, the Cavaliers revealed the alternate jerseys the team would wear this season. One of the designs contained sleeves, which the Cavs wore during Wednesday’s game against the Knicks. However, the sleeves weren’t to the liking of LeBron James.
During the second quarter, James decided he’d had enough of the snug fitting sleeves and proceeded to rip them, Hulk-style.

That wasn’t all, though. It was mentioned during ESPN’s broadcast that James took a pair of scissors to the jersey during a timeout.
James got off to a rough shooting start for the game — he missed his first three outside shots — and he has said in the past the sleeves have caused problems with his shot. One can only guess they were affecting him on this night as well. Sometimes you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do, even if there’s a chance the league will frown upon it.
