2 cents
The NBA Finals are over and the Heat are the champs, but that wouldn?t be the case without a healthy LeBron James. One championship is nice but they?ll need him healthy again next year if they want to defend their title.
But when does the King get to rest?
Not now, the Olympics are getting close and it?s time for more practice.
His Heat teamates, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, have dropped out of the Olympics with legitimate injuries leaving James no choice but to represent Miami on the Olympic team. That better not mean carrying another group of guys on his back.
It sounds strange and it probably isn?t in his DNA, but I?m ready to give LeBron the Olympics off. After a strike-shortened season and an impressive run through the NBA Playoffs, it should be in his contract to get a break every now and then.
He needs to be on the Olympic team to show the world the NBA?s best player, but I think it?s alright if he goes through the motions. There are plenty of other stars to carry the load.
Put on the jersey, dunk a few in warmups and run the floor on a few fast breaks, but don?t go all out.
The last thing the Heat need is a big injury to their biggest star and that is a possibility for someone who plays as physical as LeBron.
I?m sure James will give it his all in the Olympics because that?s all he knows, but I?ll be the first to cringe when he twists his knee or breaks a bone.
If LeBron gets hurt in London and misses significant time next season, he might want to start nursing injuries like the rest of the stars in Miami.
After all, there?s no rest for the healthy.
Unibrow Business
I?m not the type to tell other guys how to groom their facial hair, but I can?t help but feel for Anthony Davis? stylist.
Davis and his unibrow are the talk of the NBA after the Kentucky standout was drafted first overall on Thursday night and the fact that he trademarked his unique look is a little troubling. He might make a little money in the beginning but I hope this isn?t a statement saying he?ll never clean up his furry forehead. Never say never, Anthony.
It?s one thing to be a freshman in college leading the nation in blocks in the midst of a march to the national championship, but what about when he?s out at a nice dinner with his teammates? What about ten years from now when he?s showing rookies how to conduct themselves in the NBA?
I understand refusing to conform because you are different, but I?m guessing he didn?t want to get out the shears himself.
He probably won?t put up much of a fight when his teammates decide to trim the eye beard as part of rookie hazing and I won?t blame him when he shows up at a news conference with a big smile on his face.
He?s got his gimmick for now, but I hope he plans on giving people something else to remember him by in the future.?
