Week 3
To start week three, LeBron takes Cleveland on a one-on-one to Oracle Arena, where they overcame a 3-1 deficit to win the 2016 NBA Finals. This puts LeBron in a great mood, so he gives the Cavs a rose.
LeBron then takes Portland on a one-on-one. LeBron is especially excited to get to know Portland, where his sponsor Nike is headquartered. Not to mention his favorite player of all time, Shabazz Napier, plays for the team.

The date goes well until LeBron hears that the Blazers have nicknamed the fourth quarter “Dame Time” due to Damian Lillard‘s clutch play down the stretch.
LeBron doesn’t want to be known as a guy who couldn’t get it done in the big moments. He decides it would be better to not give Skip Bayless any more ammunition, so he doesn’t give Portland a rose, sending them home.
Next up is a group date with half of the remaining teams. LeBron takes the group out for a fun day at the ballpark. Everyone is confused when he switches between a Yankees hat and an Indians hat every time the score changes. Since the Yankees won the game, LeBon gives the Knicks the group date rose.
For the final group date, the remaining teams engage in a rap battle. With Lillard already eliminated, the path is clear for Lonzo Ball to carry the Lakers to a win. LeBron is impressed, and he gives them the group date rose.
At the rose ceremony, Lebron eliminates the LA Clippers and Indiana. LeBron reassures the Clippers they have a great city, telling them You’re just like the Lakers, only much worse.
Remaining teams: Boston, Cleveland, Golden State, Houston, LA Lakers, Miami, Milwaukee, Minnesota, New Orleans, New York, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Toronto, Washington
