People were immediately interested in whatever trouble she was going to start. Because, knowing Teigen, it would be hilarious. Some got in on the action and served up some suggestions of their own.

Teigen ultimately settled on this extremely improbable one: that she spot LeBron James at an embroidery shop in Los Angeles getting his name put on a Jersey.

Now this was before it was officially announced that "The King" would leave the Cavs to go to another franchise. The league's top player can have his choice of any team in the NBA and any one would be happy to have him.

Now there was a lot of talk of LeBron going to the Philadelphia 76ers or Boston Celtics...there weren't many arguing that he'd head to LA. Yet here we are. And Teigen "called it" in a few hilarious tweets. She even provided "proof" of her made-up rumor.

Apparently some people didn't get the memo beforehand and took Teigen's claims seriously.

Which she found absolutely hilarious, of course.

It's crazy to think that her joke actually came true.

For everyone who honestly thought that Teigen's tweet wasn't in jest and LeBron actually went to an embroidery shop...
