LeBron James: Master Yogi?

Any true  fanatic worth his salt will tell you that free agency and the NBA Draft aren’t the only summertime basketball events. It’s also the time when companies like Nike and adidas hold camps for the best and brightest high school and college hoops prospects.

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James has been among those on hand to help the young players work on their games. While the kids will undoubtedly benefit from his basketball expertise, LBJ is also looking to impart his knowledge in other areas.

Namely, the art of yoga.

James’ yoga exploits come as part of Nike’s inaugural Basketball Academy, which is taking place at Santa Monica Airport’s Barker Hanger. James is joined by players like Kobe Bryant and Anthony Davis in working with the invitees.

As awesome as LeBron is at throwing down hammer dunks, it seems his downward dog pose may be the most impressive part of his athletic arsenal.
