Shoot video ofLeBron James getting dunked on, and hell play Houdini by making it disappear. Snap a photo of him on a banana boat and hell simply deny it ever happened.
Last week, James took a well-deserved vacation in the Bahamas with his good buddies Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul, when the group was caught riding a banana boat off of their $29-million luxury yacht. On their own, banana boats are rather amusing, but when theyre topped with three high-priced athletes (one of whom definitely appears to be terrified) in ill-fitting life jacketsand an actress wife, well, they become the stuff of high comedy.
Since then, they have all gone their separate ways. Paul had to go to Houston to save DeAndre Jordan from the Mavericks; Wade is currently chopping it up with fashionistas in New York; and LeBron is making the rounds in support of his debut movie, Trainwreck. But have no fear, because well always have that glorious moment when the three became oneatop an inflatable banana.

Of course, the world had questions about the trios escapades, and Jimmy Fallon was apparently the man to ask them. When James stopped by The Tonight Show on Tuesday to promote his new movie, Fallon and his partially ripped-off finger put him on the spot by breaking out the viral photo and prodding him for answers.
Just explain what is happening here, Fallon said. This is not Photoshopped, right? Thats you, right? On a giant banana?
Someone Photoshopped that, James responded. Thats [Gabrielle] Union, thats Dwyane Wade, thats Chris Paul. But thats not me. I was back home in Akron, Ohio when this happened. We dont have water like that back home.
Sure, sure. Deny it all you want, LeBron. We know what happened.
