The Cavs will take on the Denver Nuggets tonight.
The last time LeBron took on the Nuggets he was able to pour in 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists.
In his career, 11 games, LBJ is averaging 23.2, 7.4 assists and 6.6 rebounds a game.
Tonight – we say 37 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists as Cleveland moves to 22-4!
Via Mouthpiece Sports and And One, ESPN The Magazine reports that LeBron James and O’Shea ‘Ice Cube’ Jackson are teaming up to produce an ABC pilot based on The King’s life as a high school basketball stud.
The series, described as “Friday Night Lights-meets-Entourage,” will follow an inner-city 15 year-old prep star who is transplanted to a small town school and forced to come of age while dealing with media pressure, unscrupulous moneymen and the jealousy of his peers. [...]
“It’s a grounded character study of teenage life in small town America, but it’s also an exploration of the American Dream and the wish-fulfillment aspect of what his life has become,” said Matt Alvarez, President of CubeVision, who pitched the concept and is also an executive producer on the show.”
Fortunately, the only television I watch these days is NBA games, “The Office” and “Summer Heights High,” so that “Friday Night Lights-meets-Entourage” comparison really doesn’t do much for me. But hey, “Friday Night Lights” is good, right? I enjoyed the movie. “Ya’ll want to win put Boobie in.” Dramatic stuff.
Anyway, the LeBron-inspired pilot script should be finished shortly so, if ABC approves it, production on the show could begin as early as this spring, with a possible fall ’09 premiere.
In the meantime, I’ll see if I can track down leaked episode summaries like I did with Gilbert Arenas’ new reality show. I may not watch a lot of TV, but I’m extremely well-connected. Call me Ari.
King James is leading the Cavs to an amazing season. Let’s take a look at what the King has done.

LeBron James scored 31 points and became Cleveland’s career steals leader and led the Cavs to their 9th win in a row by at least 12 points. The Cavs are 17-1 since Nov. 3 and are just dominating the field.
Nine wins. Nine routs. “That’s unbelievable,” James said. “Knowing the history of some of the great teams, the Chicago Bulls team that went 72-10, the Celtics teams, the Lakers teams and the Pistons teams, it’s unbelievable for our franchise to accomplish something like that.”
Keep up the great work KING! Might be time to go buy a little KING stock over at OneSeason.com

Cavaliers coach Mike Brown was more emotional than usual after his team blew a double-figure halftime lead last month against the Detroit Pistons in Auburn Hills.
Call it disappointment. Call it anger. He didn’t mince words when criticizing his team or himself.
By the way, that’s the last time the Cavs lost.
”Our guys knew that they could have played better and we all stunk that night, including myself,” Brown said. ”When you let games like that slip away or you let people take something from you, it’s not a good feeling, especially without a true fight back.”
In the interim, with the exception of the game Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Cavs have shown intensity on the court and improved play from the bench while blowing out opponents.
”We played well against Detroit in the first half, then we got lackadaisical, thinking we were just going through the motions another game and win like we’d been winning, and we didn’t,” Cavs center Zydrunas Ilgauskas said. ”It was a real
good reality shot for all of us, I think.”
The Cavs arrived in Auburn Hills on an eight-game winning streak with victories against some of the league’s lower-tier teams and left humbled.
”We learned that we can’t just turn it on and off against the good teams,” Ilgauskas said.
”We learned from our mistakes in Detroit, but we’re going to continue to play the same way whether we won or lost that game,” LeBron James said. ”We’ve been playing the same intense basketball.”
Brown said it helps that the lesson came early in the season.
”Our guys, I think, are smart enough to understand they have a chance to be very good this year,” he said. ”Good teams are going to try to take that from them. Now they have to figure out how we can avoid that happening. How can we be the ones going in and taking things from people on their floor or on our floor.”
What they have taken in the past five games has come with apparent ease, winning games by an average of 19 points.
James knows the Cavs still have to establish themselves more.
”It’s only the first month of the season,” he said. ”We’ve got to continue to get better. We’ve got to continue to go out there and defend. We can’t have any slippage.”
How do they do maintain the intensity? It comes down to reality, Ilgauskas said.
”We had a good month, [but] we haven’t won anything. We haven’t won the division,” he said. ”We haven’t won the conference, we haven’t won anything. It’s really nothing to be proud of, to be honest with you. We played well, obviously. We all know that.
”But just as easy, if you can take it easy, it can be a three-, four-, five-game losing streak. We have bigger goals than that. We want to be playing in June, and we want to put ourselves in a position to have home court in the playoffs.”
Circus in town?
James has no intention of turning away from the media circus surrounding his ”imminent” free agency when the New York media show up to cover the Knicks. In games in New Jersey and New York City last week, much was made about comments that James made.
”I’m going to answer the questions whenever they come, but it’s not such a big deal to me,” he said. ”They’re going to come, and as soon as I say I’m not going to talk about it anymore, that’s when they’re really going to come, so I’m going to answer them and move on like I’ve been doing.”
Quick hit
A bonus could come tonight in playing the Knicks.
If the Cavs win, they will achieve their best home start in franchise history.
Our boy LeBron has been busy this season, and here are a few of his early season action shots!
Through the first two games the Cavs are 1-1 to start the year. On opening night, Cleveland fell to Boston 90-85, and on the 30th the Cavs beat Charlotte 96-79. In two games thus far LeBron is scoring 23.5.
GO KING JAMES!
Last night was the get together in New York City for the Lebron James Foundation at the Ralph Lauren store. Lebron was asked what would happen in a one on one game between himself and Ralph Lauren and he said:
“No,” he laughed. “But if we ever had a fashion showdown, I know he’d win.”
Here are some pictures from the big event.
A few months back Lebron made a small statement by wearing a Yankees cap to publicly disgrace the Indians. This was no accident. Our guy is simply a Yankees fan. So, last week when Lebron showed up on the Cowboys sidelines while they were playing the Browns in Cleveland – it came as no surprise. James has been a huge Cowboy fan since he was little.
Get over it Cavs fans. He plays for the Cavs but he does not like the Indians or the Browns. Doesn’t mean he hates you all as fans. He just has his favorite teams and now he is in a position to publicly display that love. Keep rockin Lebron!
