My apologies if this has already been mentioned but,
My college daughter sent me a text message Monday--
Dad, do you know why Lebron didn't go to college?
Just as I was preparing to dazzle her with my knowledge of the professional sports scene, she texted back the answer. . . .
"Because he couldn't handle the finals."

Lame-ass attempt to rehabilitate LeBron's "Decision":

Behind-the-scenes details of ?The Decision?



On July 8, 2010, after a season of speculation, LeBron James announced his free-agency destination in a one-hour special on ESPN called The Decision. The concept for the prime-time show was hatched in Los Angeles during the 2010 NBA Finals, but it was executed in the tony suburb of Greenwich, Conn. A year later, four key behind-the-scenes operatives speak about their roles in creating the controversial event ? the semi-secretive logistics, the intended misdirections, the surprise celebrity participants, and who knew what and when about how their grand production unfolded.

Of note:
Mark Dowley, former partner at the William Morris Endeavor agency and a Greenwich resident: Ari Emanuel [co-CEO of William Morris] called me and said, ?What do you think of the idea of doing the show?? And I really liked it. I like the whole notion of the emancipation of talent. No one could have guessed the level of interest this would get. We had never seen anything like that.

Dowley: What didn?t get enough play was what Dan Gilbert said afterward. The next day, Maverick and LeBron called me and asked what they should say in response. I gave them two suggestions: ?I guess Dan is not going to be sending me a fruit basket again this Christmas.? Or then something about how you can understand why [LeBron] doesn?t want to work for this guy anymore ? that [LeBron] needed to get out of this abusive relationship. Because it was abusive and stupid what Gilbert said. Especially since hours before he was calling Maverick at my house, checking in about his offer, hoping LeBron will go back there.
Of course, LeBron did the right thing and just issued a ?no comment.?

Agreed. That Dowley character sounds like a pompous clown. I'm sure he's convinced that The Decision was a great idea, despite the nearly unanimous sentiment that it was an unmitigated PR disaster. Even the caption to the SI story said The Decision took LBJ from hero to villain.

LeBron, Wade bail on Heat teammate?

Chris Bosh just completed a four-day bachelor party for the ages.
It was a wild party in Las Vegas that included a 12-man posse that drank, ate red meat and used guns.
The NY POST reports that after arriving in Sin City the boys went to a shooting range to ?blow off steam.?
The only thing missing from the bachelor party? LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. The Miami Heat teammates either weren?t invited, or didn?t want to join the third member of the Big Three.
LeBron could be in the witness protection program after his disheartening performance in the NBA Finals.:biggrin:
Wade might have still been recovering from the flu Dirk Nowitzki gave him.

I believe their goal was to win rings together with uber talent. Not spend 24/7 together.

The Finals showed that those words were more appropriate for a guy that was a native speaker of the language from which uber came from. :tongue2:
