For the last six years, Jimmy Kimmel Live has been sending the lovable Guillermo to the NBA Finals so he can report back to the show in his own unique and amusing way. The last six Finals, of course, have featured LeBron James as he made appearances with the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers. However, despite his varied attempts, Guillermo has never been able to land an interview with James. James – not wanting to deal with any silliness – has often just straight up ignored Guillermo.
Naturally, James’ treatment of Guillermo, which may not be on purpose, has hurt the talk show personality’s feelings. Not wanting to have his feelings hurt for the seventh straight year, Guillermo decided to flip the script on James this time around by ignoring the Cavs superstar.
Of course, the one problem with Guillermo’s plan is that James is unaware of it. To get around this obstacle, Guillermo decided to tell players like Draymond Green, Kevin Durant, Kevin Love and Kyle Korver about his plan. Guillermo then informed them that they should tell James about his cold shoulder plan, which received mixed reactions from the players competing in the Finals.
Guillermo may have been trying to use reverse psychology here, but perhaps not since he actually seemed thrilled that James didn’t want to talk to him. Either way, this is just the latest chapter between Guillermo and James, which is a feud the Cavs superstar clearly has no idea exists.
