LeBron James started a firestorm when he unfollowed the Cavaliers after a series of cryptic tweets.  Well it turns out his odd behavior is not just on social media, he did something in the locker room that briefly had his teammates taken aback.

Before every game, James blasts his Beats Pill portable speaker in the locker room. The music is turned up so loudly that the volume fills the room and instantly becomes the pregame music for all the players who are sitting at their locker stalls.  James, intentionally or not, serves as the team’s honorary pre-game.

But before Monday’s game against the Denver Nuggets, James was a music hog. He had his headphones on and wasn’t in the mood to interact much with teammates or reporters.

Confused to why he wasn’t bumping his music, Channing Frye and Jordan McRae got his attention at different times during reporters’ pregame availability to ask what he was listening to. James responded, but you could tell he wasn’t going to be having a full-blown conversation.

They tried to get him to let them hear, and he politely declined.

Frye told cleveland.com he took James’ behavior as a method of trying to set the tone.

LeBron has publicly called out his teammates after prior losses and even said they were not ready for the playoffs so this music thing could go in line with the Twitter shutdown to get ready for the playoffs explanation.  BUT, with all the other rumors going around, this could be taken as him pulling away from his teammates by some.  We can’t know what he’s thinking, just have to watch what happens.
