LeBron James didn't mince words when asked for his feelings on a rumored change to the NBA postseason.
In February, reports surfaced that the NBA was seriously considering a drastic change to how teams qualified for the postseason. As things stand, the top eight seeds in each conference make the postseason, simple as that. But under the newly proposed rules, teams ranked seven through ten would compete in a play-in tournament to determine the final two playoff spots in each conference.
Asked about the proposal, James was quick to dismiss the idea as both "corny" and "wack."
It's not hard to imagine why James would believe the playoffs are already fine as they are — James has made it to seven straight NBA Finals and will be pushing for his eighth straight Finals campaign this season.
