Given the way the Cleveland Cavaliers played on Thursday night, they may ask Ric Flair to stay home for the remainder of their games in the NBA Finals. That said, the “Nature Boy” was as entertaining as advertised while posing as a Cavs super fan.
Flair, who is from Tennessee and makes his home in Charlotte, cut a promo for the Cavs before the game using their “all in” mantra.

He also addressed the fans at Quicken Loans Arena prior to tip-off with one of his patented speeches from his professional wrestling days. You know, the same routine that this NFL defensive back has perfected.

The Nature Boy wasn’t done there. He even stopped by to say hello to the NBA on TNT broadcast crew the only way he knows how.

As Adam Silverstein of Eye on Basketball notes, Flair is often compensated for these types of appearances (like he probably was when he spoke to this NFL team). The Nature Boy did enough before and during Game 4 that it certainly seemed like this was one of those instances, but we still enjoyed it.
