Week 5

The first date is a one-on-one with the LA Lakers. LeBron takes the team to a random open field to play pickup football. He dominates, scoring 12 touchdowns from the tight end position. Feeling great about himself, LeBron gives the Lakers a rose.

LeBron then invites the Thunder and Wizards to a two-on-one date. The winner will get a rose, and the loser will be eliminated. He takes the two teams to a scenic walk along the Ohio River. On the date, LeBron quickly realizes that he also doesn’t like Jason Smith, so he gives Oklahoma City the rose and sends Washington packing.

The rest of the teams go on a lovely mini-golf group date. Steph Curry is the only player to shoot under par, and the Warriors earn the group date rose.

At the rose ceremony, LeBron makes some tough decisions. He sends home Miami, New York, and Toronto. Each team wants to know why they couldn’t make it work.

Lebron tells Toronto, You’re perfect for me on paper, but you’re just so boring. He tells Miami, I have a great time with you, but I can’t see a future here. He consoles New York by telling them Honestly, it’s amazing you made it this far.

Remaining teams: Boston, Cleveland, Golden State, Houston, LA Lakers, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, San Antonio
