It’s now time for the national team to put up or shut up. With guys like LeBron
James, Kobe Bryant, and Dwyane Wade, Team USA is a lock to win the 2010 FIBA
World Championship in Istanbul, Turkey. Oh, that’s right the 2010 National Team
doesn’t possess one player from the “Redeem Team,” so what does that mean [...]

If Allen Iverson has any sense whatsoever, he’ll convene with LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh on a conference call and plead his case for joining them in Miami.
If he is smart, he will avoid all questions about how he may or may not behave on [...]
ESPN and LeBron James overdid it when they decided to make an hour special out of his choosing of new team to play with.¬† I don’t see anything wrong with him choosing to play in Miami, but the hour special was too much.
