Best Site Of The Day
As Jimmy Traina mentioned in yesterday's Hot Clicks, LeBronToTheMavs.com may be one of the coolest LeBron sites out there. And he's not joking. Not even a little. They have their own theme song ... of which I secretly want to download on iTunes if it's available.

LeBron to Mavs? Web-savvy fans trying to help
LeBron James in a Dallas Mavericks uniform? It’s already happening — on the Internet.
Mavs fans are the latest to do their part to woo the NBA superstar to their city by launching the website lebrontothemavs.com. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban tweeted a link to the site Thursday, writing: “Gotta love Mavs fans !!”
The home page plays a song and doctored photos include James’ face on a J.R. Ewing picture and him dunking over the Dallas skyline.
The Mavs are a perennial contender with superstars in Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd, with whom James won a gold medal in Beijing in 2008. The team could easily free up cap space for a sign-and-trade deal with the Cavaliers, who, if forced into a deal, would prefer sending the marquee free agent to the Western Conference. James also is a big Cowboys fan.

Secret reason why LeBron will stay
Esquire's Scott Raab is honest -- "I have absolutely no clue what happened to LeBron in the Celtics series or where he'll be playing next year" -- but he also may be on to something. After Buzz Bissinger wrote in The New York Times that LeBron may be afraid to leave Ohio, Raab, who has been around the Cavs since last June while working on a book, is convinced The King will stay in Cleveland if only to protect his family. More specifically, his mother. "His number-one goal in life is not an NBA championship," Raab said. "It's to protect her, and to protect himself. And I see no way for him to do that if he moves to New York City."

Ex-NFL'er: Blame public if LBJ leaves
Jim Brown thinks the way the public has treated LeBron after his playoff meltdown is "an atrocity" and it will be the reason The King decides to Cleveland this summer. "You know, it's so unfortunate that a man that's got so much would feel so bad right now because of what he couldn't do. I think [LeBron's] being treated unfairly," the former Cleveland Browns star told a Baltimore radio station. "I think the expectations were too high, and I don't think he's gonna stay in Cleveland because of it. I think as one man, there's only so much you can do, and for people to analyze you and to basically say humiliating things about you, when you've given all those things through the years to that franchise, I think it's an atrocity."

Knicks already cashing in on LeBron
Perhaps Knicks fans know something we don't. It's be less than a week since James' season officially ended, and though he has yet to give any indication of his plans, the Knicks have started to cash in on his possible move to New York. According to a Madison Square Garden official, the team has sold 500 new season-ticket plans for next season, bringing its total to 2,900. Nothing like a little speculation to get fans pumped for next season.

Pathetic and desperate.
Just "good" skiing?
That after he asks who would want to live anywhere else......dunno. Can't think of anywhere I'd rather be.
baggery like that will all but ensure a hasty departure on Brons part.
Dear Le ,
Please, for the love of ALL of the Gods, don't come to Utah.
Signed,
Jazz Fans.
p.s. we're all racist and HATE black people with tats.
Unbelievable how people go crazy. This is sad, really sad.
That Cleveland is begging him to stay, I can somewhat imagine that, but it's still over the top. But the rest?
Yeps, that's going to be the overriding factor in LeBron's decision: the self-deprecating jokes from Akron's mayor.
how long till July 1st? Can't wait for all the talk to be over and fans to quit begging him to come
The 'Witness Mobile' got a makeover
By Trey Kerby
Ball Don't Lie
To paraphrase Kevin Costner, "If you paint it, he might stay." At least that's what our old friend A. Gully is hoping.
Just 12 short months after customizing his '87 Cutlass "Witness Mobile" to honor LeBron James' first MVP, the Cleveland rapper finds himself in danger of losing his city's most-famous basketball player. If you know anything about the customized-car-as-a-promotional-item business, you'll know that means it's time for a paint change. Have a look.
It's a little hard to tell from the picture, but the car is designed as a moving pe ion for LBJ to stay in Cleveland, complete with signature lines that people actually sign. Thankfully, there is a promotional video set to a LeBron James-afied version of Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" to clear things up. Yes, really.
Somehow, this entire "Witness Mobile" is tied into Please Don't Leave 23, another in the long line of kind of hilarious free-agent recruiting websites. PDL23 was started as a part of an entrepreneurship course at Kent State University, and its founders say that they "believe that there is no single person in Ohio right now that generates more revenue and creates more jobs than LeBron James." Works for me — they're the entrepreneurship students, I'm just a blogger who thinks "entrepreneurship" is a tough word to spell.
While it might seem excessive to repaint a car just a year after tricking it out in the first place, you have to keep in mind another famous saying: "Life moves fast. If you don't stop and customize automobiles for your favorite athletes, you just might miss it." Sound advice.

Can lebron go where he wants? Like even if it is not the best offer money or team wise? Or is it agent talk?
Obama: If LeBron is looking, Bulls have good core
If LeBron James isn’t sure he can win in Cleveland, President Barack Obama thinks there’s an opportunity with his hometown Chicago Bulls.
“You know, like I said, I don’t want to meddle,” Obama told TNT. “I will say this: (Derrick) Rose, Joakim Noah it’s a pretty good core. You know, you could see LeBron fitting in pretty well there.”
Obama was interviewed about a number of basketball subjects by broadcaster Marv Albert on the White House basketball court. The interview will be shown Tuesday night at 8 p.m. EDT.
James can become a free agent this summer, and his decision whether to leave the Cavaliers is one of the hottest topics in sports. Though he’s never said he wants out of his native Ohio, there’s speculation he’d consider it after the Cavaliers were knocked out of the playoffs in the second round by the Boston Celtics.
“I think that the most important thing for LeBron right now is actually to find a structure where he’s got a coach that he respects and is working hard with teammates who care about him and if that’s in Cleveland, then he should stay in Cleveland,” Obama said. “If he doesn’t feel like he can get it there, then someplace else.”
Obama compared James’ situation to the Bulls not winning until Michael Jordan had confidence in Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen and the rest of his teammates. Once that happened, Chicago won six NBA championships in the 1990s.
“It wasn’t until you got that framework around you that you could be a champion,” Obama said. “Same thing happened with Kobe (Bryant). You know, I think that, first with Shaq (O’Neal) then later with (Pau) Gasol, you know, he’s gotten that sense of a team around him and I think LeBron hasn’t quite been able to get that yet. That’s what he needs to find.”
James is a HUGE Cowboys and Knicks fan from Akron. rofl
I think you mean Cowboys and Yankees. He's just the black bandwagoner he's supposed to be, no surprises here.
son, you are the first to go if lebron is available for a sign and trade
Patrick Ewing: Best Bet Is LeBron Stays Home
SportingNews
Orlando assistant coach Patrick Ewing has to be careful what he says about LeBron James, the Cavaliers’ super free agent. As a representative of the Magic, he could face a fine, according to the New York Daily News.
So when asked where he thinks James could land this offseason, he has a standard answer: Cleveland. Ewing told the Daily News that Cleveland has a distinct advantage because it can pay him more than anyone else.
“The league designed it that way,” Ewing told the Daily News. “If you stay you can make $30 million more. And if you already have a good team, why leave?”
In the meantime, Ewing still wants to be a head coach in the NBA after being an assistant for seven years.
“I’m hoping,” Ewing told the Daily News. “With all these jobs that are available, I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully, I can get my foot in the door.”
Ewing is yet to have an interview to be head coach and hired coaching agent Lonnie Cooper to help him, the Daily News reported.
“I hear of some of the other names being mentioned, and they are all good candidates, but some of them haven’t been doing it for as long as Patrick and their teams haven’t been as successful as us. I wish I knew the reason,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy told the Daily News.

Biggest Player In LeBron Sweepstakes
LeBron's relationship with rapper/music mogul Jay-Z is well-known. But according to Sonny Vaccaro (the sneaker king who founded the now-defunct Adidas ABCD camp and has known LeBron since he was a ninth-grader), Jay-Z could have the biggest influence on LeBron's free agency decision. In fact, his influence may even trump that of LeBron's childhood friend/business manager, Maverick Carter, NBA matchmaker and confidant William "Worldwide" Wesley and agent Leon Rose. Plus, Jay-Z is part-owner of the Nets ... and he's married to Beyonce. (I just added the last one because I like the song "Sweet Dreams.")

Barkley's Guarantee
Sorry Mark Cuban, but Charles Barkley "guarantees" LeBron will not go to Dallas. The Round Mound of Rebound told a Dallas radio station Monday that for the Mavs to acquire King James, it would have to come in a sing-and-trade deal (as Cuban has previously suggested), and that if that happens, the team wouldn't have enough left to win a le. "If they do a sign-and-trade, they have to get rid of their old team and keep Dirk Nowitzki. And him and Dirk alone wouldn't be enough to win the championship," said Barkley. He narrowed LeBron's likely destinations to Cleveland, New York and Chicago, with winning being the motivating factor in the decision.
Barkley's wrong.
Mavs with LeBron would/will be flirting with 75 win ecstasy
2 stars (Dirk/Bron) + great role players (Kidd/Marion/Haywood) =![]()
