Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, and the Cavs took a subway ride like it was no big deal

What would you do if you saw them on your train?

Some lucky New Yorkers received a Monday morning treat when they jumped on the subway today (a sentence I never thought could exist, but here we are).

Lebron James— joined by Dwyane Wade, Kyle Korver, JR Smith, and the rest of Cleveland Cavaliers team— decided to join the plebeians and grace what appears to be a C train with their unexpected presence.

The team was seen strolling through Penn Station fresh off of a practice. James admitted to the rolling camera it was his first time placing his life in the hands of the MTA, or "traveling like a real citizen, man," as JR so eloquently put it.

While on the train, James also filmed a bit of the action. "On our way back from shooting around and decided to take a different transportation this time," James said.

"We had two options," Korver explained. "A 45 minute bus ride or a six minute train." Hence, easily one of the most legendary subway rides since that day Jay-Z hopped on and made friends with a sweet lady.

For some unimaginable reason, the man sitting next to the greatest basketball player in the NBA has the gall gets up after exclaiming "can you not?" Sir, with all due respect, what a waste of a glorious Monday morning gift you were given.

The Cavs are facing off with the New York Knicks tonight at Madison Square Garden. Who knows how they'll roll up to that.
