Keidel: Is America Ready To Like LeBron James?
At a time when youngsters are force-fed the mantra that there are no losers, that the score is incidental and every team gets trophies, we have LeBron James as the global, athletic avatar.

At a time when youngsters are force-fed the mantra that there are no losers, that the score is incidental and every team gets trophies, we have LeBron James as the global, athletic avatar.
Knicks fans will be seeing a whole lot less of Doc Rivers next season and beyond.
I doubt it will be the case, but this series should put all those outdated and nauseating LeBron James narratives out to pasture once and for all.
Ron Berkowitz, a spokesman for Roc Nation Sports, told ESPN that the Brooklyn native is now licensed to be an NBA agent. Jay-Z is licensed to be an MLB agent as well, MLB Players Association spokesman Greg Bouris told the network.
There are moments every once in a while that remind you why you sit in front of a television and watch all those games, and Tuesday night was one of them.
"Here's what I don't understand about Yankees fans," Christie said. "The Mets stink. We're awful. And the Yankees are usually really good. So why do you boo us? You should feel badly for us."
What should really scare the Miami Heat is that Sunday night should have been a win for them. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh combined for 66 points and shot a combined 25-of-53.
Knicks great Patrick Ewing has been waiting more than 10 years for his shot as head coach in the NBA, and his son isn't too happy about it.
Doc Rivers would be the Knicks' best coach since Pat Riley -- sorry Jeff Van Gundy, but it's true -- and that hiring would make the Jason Kidd signing look like nothing more than a PR stunt.
Jason Kidd retired just over a week ago and already has a head coaching job. Knicks great Patrick Ewing has been waiting over 10 years for his shot. And that's enough to get under his son's skin.
The Heat changed things up, and now it is time for Gregg Popovich to adjust. Is there anyone else you would want in that film room and on the practice floor figuring out how to counter those moves more than Popovich?
Of course, Miami could still win this series, and it is still favored to do so. But win it must. James' legacy is on the line, because June is when legacies are built. Just ask Jordan.
The argument about whether LeBron James will ultimately be better than Michael Jordan continues to gain steam. But Dennis Rodman, Jordan's former teammate with the Bulls, doesn't want to hear it. To him, it's an asinine argument.
New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez was tops among the 27 baseball players on the list and No. 18 overall with $30.3 million, although he is currently facing the possibility of a 100-game suspension.
All in all, this should be a very exciting and competitive series. San Antonio will likely have to win two games in Miami to win the series. It's a tall order, but if any team can win a Game 7 in Miami, it's a veteran team like the Spurs.
