LeBron James takes his shot as a weatherman after his Instagram pictures of flooding prompt National Weather Service to issue alert
He's the world's best basketball player - and also a pretty good amateur weatherman.
LeBron James posted pictures of flooding of more than a foot in the Miami area on Saturday, prompting the National Weather Service to issue an advisory and credit the NBA's reigning MVP.
'Miami ain't always sunshine' James wrote on his Instagram account along with four pictures.
'Mother nature ain't nothing to mess with. Rain rain go away, come back ...' James also wrote in his posting.
James, whose Miami Heat won last year's title and own the best record in the league this season as they are set to begin the playoffs, posted the pictures Saturday afternoon.
And within one hour, the National
Weather Service issued an updated advisory for the Miami area, which
began by crediting the athlete.
The agency began its Tweet on the advisory by writing, 'Even #LeBron James reports the weather! We love storm reports!'
The next day, James and the Heat hosted the Chicago Bulls and won handily, 105-93.
James finished with 24 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
