'Saturday Night Live' Cleveland Cavaliers sketch was pretty much the truth
Watch Next

While Donald Glover was hosting Saturday Night Live on, well, Saturday night, LeBron James was busy doing what it is LeBron James does: hitting buzzer-beating game-winners in the playoffs.

It was perfect timing, too, because Glover and the SNL cast has prepped the above sketch, a spoof of an NBA playoff commercial reminding viewers there are other players on the Cleveland Cavaliers besides LeBron and everything they do for their superstar.

From holding his extra cell phones to picking up his dry cleaning, they just want you to know how dedicated they are.

The sketch didn't make the final show, though, which is too bad given how perfectly it would have aligned with Saturday's game but it's still a terrific watch.

Oh, and mark it down: if LeBron leaves Cleveland, look for the Cavs' next superstar to be Pancake, the dog.
