LeBron looks like he's finally ready to leave home....How sad!!


There's not much more I can add about the faux-LeBron sweepstakes that will hopefully end tonight in a made for ESPN show/announcement.

Somewhere in Mississippi, fellow attention-whore Brett Favre is crying "WHY, WHY, WHY didn't I think of having my own show". Sorry, Brett. LeBron is smarter than you. Plus, he doesn't want any of the ESPN "reporters" stalking his house while he makes a decision. Smart move, LeBron.


The NBA has done nothing to prevent itself from becoming a glorified collection of AAU teams in this mess. In fact, they seem to revel in the attention. I guess any off-season publicity is good off-season publicity, but this takes the cake.

LeBron will go on national TV and explain why his loyalty to his home-town has limits. He has to get his ring. No matter how much he has to prostitute himself to do it.

Before you label him the greatest of all-time, let's remember that Lew Alcindor (aka Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) took a near expansion Milwaukee Bucks team--that had only won a handful of games in it's history--and along with 4th round draft pick (that's right, FOURTH ROUNDER) Bob Dandridge and an aging HOF'er Oscar Robertson as his BIG THREE and won a championship in 1971.

Two years after he was drafted. Very under-rated superstar that Alcindor-Jabbar. And Oscar Robertson for that matter.


Now, these guys can assemble their own team like some drunken fantasy league GM, and expect the championship rings to follow.

Well, I wish the Big Three well in Miami. (if as I expect, LeBron joins Mr. Bosch and Mr. Wade)

Actually, I really don't. This might make me want to root for Kobe or Carmelo instead. How pathetic is that?

The only thing Miami will gain after these signings is the honor of becoming the city with the highest ratio of pole dancers and gold diggers per square mile in the country. If they didn't already hold that distinction to begin with. Good Luck with that LeBron.

Maybe Florida can balance its budget by enacting a pole tax.... ;)
