We don’t think Jamie Carragher would be impressed with Cleveland Cavaliers’ hot tub celebrations

Imagine if they won the NBA Championship

Patrick McCarry

Just four games to go lads, no need to get carried away…    oh.

To begin, Cleveland Cavaliers are the deserved Eastern Conference champions after they whomped Atlanta Hawks 4-0 in their best-of-seven final.

The Cavs have swept into the NBA championship decider on the back of a stellar run of form. Last night, as he did in games one and three, LeBron James was the catalyst.

King James scored 23 points, had nine assists and managed seven rebounds as the Hawks were drop-kicked.

Fair play to the Cavs but their post-match celebrations were, ever so slightly, over the top.

Dressing room selfies, popping champagne and a victorious vlog, sponsored by a mobile phone company, are all about par for the course. Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher may argue that such antics are a tad premature, given the fact that history tends to remember the outright NBA winners and not who won what conference.

There was no telling that to James, JR Smith and co. as the revelry continued at the post-match press briefing.

And, when all that was over, it was time for the hot tub and champagne (again).
