Little-Known NBA Player's LeBron Spoof a YouTube Hit

(CBS/AP) Anthony Tolliver insists he was poking fun more at himself than he was LeBron James in his YouTube video entitled "The Decision: Part Deux."

Tolliver is a little-known free agent forward who announced his decision to accept a two-year deal from the Minnesota Timberwolves over a similar offer from the Golden State Warriors in a one-minute video posted on Friday.

The video has been viewed more than 166,000 times.

Tolliver says he made the piece on a whim. He may have underestimated the appetite for mockumentaries surrounding James' much-maligned special that aired on ESPN last month.

Minnesota will be Tolliver's fifth team in three seasons. He has averaged 9.1 points per game in his first two seasons.
