LeBron James gives Jimmy Kimmel fake phone number after ESPYs

CLEVELAND, OH — Following the very successful award show that the two co-hosted, LeBron James allegedly gave Jimmy Kimmel a bogus phone number.

“I’m pissed, man,” Kimmel told reporters Tuesday, after his 14th unsuccessful message on the number that he had been given by LeBron. “I knew something was up when I called and it was a girl named Michelle on the answering machine, but I thought maybe it was his assistant.”

Apparently Kimmel received an outraged call from Michelle on Sunday, informing him that she was not LeBron James, nor did she know LeBron James.

James apparently gave Kimmel a phone number that was alarmingly close to his own, which was a risky move given that Kimmel in theory could easily attempt to determine the number himself, which Kimmel is “thinking about doing.”

“Look, we had a great time hosting the show, and I want to hang out,” Kimmel said. “I’m sure it was an oversight, a heat of the moment type thing. I am sure LeBron meant no disrespect.”

James was unavailable for comment, but a woman named Michelle informed SSNN she thinks Jimmy Kimmel is “kind of annoying.”

It’s going to be tough for this sport to sweep any nations, but it’s still pretty frickin’ cool!
