"On our way back from shoot around," James said in the video, posted to Uninterrupted. "Decided to take a different transportation this time. Where we at Kyle?"

James' teammate, sharpshooter Kyle Korver, responded.

"On the train," Korver said. "We had two options: 45 minute bus ride or a six minute train ride."

"So we decided to hop on the train with the squad," James added.

James then looked at the guy sitting next to him, before calling him out.

"I don't know this dude right here. He tripping." James said.

"Can you not?" the man asked James, after having the camera pointed at him.

James then shifted focus to Dwyane Wade.

"Where D-Wade?" James asked.

"We out here dawg," Wade said. "We out here. We on the train. Headed back to the hotel. Getting ready for the Knicks game tonight."
