In today’s New York Times, William C. Rhoden makes a case as to why the best offseason free agent move for LeBron James would be for him to join forces with Michael Jordan and sign with the Charlotte Bobcats. Rhoden makes a compelling argument – there does seem to be many, many reasons why, on paper at least, James and Jordan would be a serious force in the NBA both on and off the court.

Then it’s not just a cute footnote; it goes down as the worst (or best) prick move ever, making MJ’s Hall of Fame speech seem like Lamb Chop‘s sing-along by comparison. So what do we make of LeBron James last night, when he stepped to the foul line with a chance to close out the Bulls and shot one free throw left-handed? (He missed.) LeBron said his right elbow was sore, but try selling that to a bitter Chicago fan … Read More »
