Oh, and if you got doubts about King James’ highness …
“Just lettin’ y’all know,” he says in a subsequent, three-hour-old Instavid, “I really wasn’t playing about my 24/7 DJ.”
Now cut to a shot of the MVP’s jock bent over the so-called “1s and 2s,” grinding through the 480th minute of his marathon workday.
“Yeah, he’s still here. And he’s still rocking.”
