WATCH: Cavaliers Take The New York City Subway After Morning Shootaround

The subway in New York City is filled with many things: rats, people and excessive heat are among just some of the unique characteristics of the city's most popular public transportation system. But on Monday, the subway played hosts to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavs took a page out of the common man's book, taking the New York City subway after a morning shootaround at Madison Square Garden.

Cleveland faces the New York Knicks Monday evening, but took some time to be "like real citizens," according to J.R. Smith. SI's Jake Fischer reported the Cavs team bus got jammed in traffic on the way to the arena, leading to the switch in transportation.
