If you know LeBron, you know he’s a HUGE diehard Cowboys fan — and I’m sure this made his night — Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, Jason Witten and DeMarco Murray were all courtside for the Heat/Mavs game.
LeBron saluted Dez at the end by throwing up Dez’s signature X move (see pic above) and apparently there was a short convo between Romo and Bron. LBJ didn’t want to reveal what was said, but of course there was someone there that overheard it. I wonder why this was such a big deal?

Romo, who sat with his father next to the Mavs bench, declined interview requests from reporters but did clarify that he was rooting for the Mavericks.
Witten sat courtside with his wife and two boys, who were both wearing No. 6 King James jerseys.

James declined to comment on what was said between he and Romo, but Heat beat writer Michael Wallace tweeted that Romo told him the message was: “You go get (title) No.3 for y’all and I’ll go get No.1 for us.”
“I’m going to keep it between the two of us,” James said while sitting at his locker after the game. “I’m excited that he’s recovering well from his back and his shoulder and all the other injuries that he’s had.”

As for Romo, James had advice for dealing with such high expectations.
“Just don’t care what everybody thinks,” he said. “If you care about your craft and at the end of the day if you went out there and you gave it everything you had and you laid it out on the line for your teammates, you can sleep comfortably at night. Don’t watch ESPN and all these so-called ‘everyone knows what to do that ain’t never put on a uniform, trying to tell you what to do’ [shows].
“It’s not about that. I think Tony’s at a point now in his career where he’s one of the greatest quarterbacks we have in our game because of his work ethic. Nobody woke him up in the morning to go to practice. Nobody told him to go to OTAs. Nobody told him to stay after practice and throw to his receivers. He just goes out there and does it. We all make mistakes, but at the end of the day, if you work on your game, you can live with that.”
