Week 6
LeBron takes Boston on a one-on-one to the planetarium. Meant to be a good time under the stars, Kyrie Irving instead talked the whole time about how the display shouldn’t be curved since the Earth is actually flat. Irritated, LeBron doesn’t give the Celtics a rose to end the date, and they get eliminated.
The remaining teams go on a group date to Paris, where they go sightseeing and take pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower. The Sixers impress LeBron by having two players (Joel Embiid and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot) who speak fluent French. He rewards Philadelphia with the group date rose.

During the cocktail party, the Cavaliers get jealous of the Sixers’ group date rose, and Jordan Clarkson throws a basketball at Dario Saric. After some yelling back and forth between the teams, calmer heads prevail. But the stakes are getting higher, and teams are starting to feel the pressure.
At the rose ceremony, LeBron sends home New Orleans and Oklahoma City. On the way out, the Thunder’s Russell Westbrook promises to always hold a grudge against Lebron.
Remaining teams: Cleveland, Golden State, Houston, LA Lakers, Philadelphia, San Antonio
