Comedian Jon Stewart is a native New Yorker and he did his best to convince LeBron James that joining the Knicks would be in his best interest.

Stewart had James, who was in New York promoting his new book, on the ‘Daily Show’ on Comedy Central last night and the conversation eventually went to the superstar’s plans for next season when he becomes free agent. The Cavaliers forward was elusive as usual, which he has to be since he is under contract with Cleveland, but Stewart tried to show the advantages of coming to the Big Apple.
