Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James celebrates his 24th birthday
Tuesday, December 30, 2008
Brian Windhorst
Plain Dealer Reporter
Miami - Just think, just one year from now LeBron James will actually be considered responsible enough to rent a car.
Today, James will celebrate his 24th birthday on the same day, as many feature stories and TV specials have pointed out over the years, as Tiger Woods celebrates his.
In basketball years it may sometimes seem like James is already middle-aged, but in reality he is still very much a young man, even if it doesn't feel that way to many fans who have been following him for nearly a decade now.
"Someone asked me how old I was turning," James said. "I told them '24. I'm young but I have an old soul.' "
His soul has indeed aged quicker than his body. He's grown from local raw talent to phenom to superstar to Olympic champion.
He's gone from being a freshman to father to captain to head of an international business enterprise under his name.
"At the end of the day I am not perfect, but I have a good sense about life and my family's life and what direction we want to head it," James said.
"That keeps me calm, the security we have is under control."
As has been the case often on his birthdays, James is going to spend it playing basketball, as he and the Cavaliers complete their home-and-home series with the Heat at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami.
They haven't always been fun evenings. When he was in high school and turned 17, James and his St. Vincent-St. Mary team lost a game in overtime by one point to Amityville, N.Y., High School at a tournament in Delaware. James did score 39 points in that game and sent it to overtime with an incredible four-point play when he hit a long 3-pointer at the buzzer when the opposition tried to foul him before he got the shot off.
The two times James played as a professional on Dec. 30, the Cavs have lost. He scored 22 points in a loss to the Indiana Pacers at home on his 19th birthday in 2003. Two years ago, the day he turned 22, James and the Cavs lost in Chicago despite his 33 points.
He'd prefer to forget his 23rd birthday, too.
He was pulled over for speeding on his way home from the airport in the middle of the night after the Cavs were beaten in New Orleans and made the long flight home.
So perhaps he'll give a special emphasis on having a winning night this year; after all the Cavs are looking for their seventh consecutive win.
"It was a big deal when I turned 18, that is when every kid feels like he's a man," James said. "I don't caught get up in turning a year older.
"Everyone gets old and years go by fast. I get excited to see my kids get older."
He seems like he's starting to show his age in games.
Crab dribble happened.

After a long discussion with his friends and his family, he has decided to sign with the CLEVELAND BROWNS, BABY!!

LeBron James will give Cleveland the Shaq treatment

SPORTS COMMENTARY

This time, the blowout loss to the Magic was an aberration — a bad night for one of the best teams in the league.
But soon enough, this type of defeat will likely be the norm for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The poor, poor Cleveland Cavaliers.
They are a dead franchise walking and they don't even know it yet.
They have one of the best records in the league and the most marketable young star in the game. They've already been to one NBA Finals and have visions of many more over the next decade.
But soon — if and when LeBron James leaves for brighter lights and a bigger city — it will all come crashing down like the Florida condo market.
Sound familiar, Magic fans?
Remember when Shaq bolted Orlando for Tinseltown because he wanted to make movies and hobnob with the stars in Hollywood? Well, here we are more than a decade later and only now have the Magic finally recovered from the Shaq Smack. Supreme evidence of Orlando's return from the dark ages came Thursday when the Magic dismantled LeBron's Cavs 99-88 a few hours after learning they had more players on the all-star team (three) than anybody in the NBA.
Can you believe it? Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson — yes, the same Jameer Nelson everybody thought couldn't play in this league — are all all-stars. Even perennially cantankerous Coach Stan Van Gundy was smiling about that.
"It's been a pretty good day for the Magic," he said.
Meanwhile, the Cavs, even though they entered Thursday's game with the NBA's best record, have only one all-star — LeBron himself. And you should have heard the frustration in his voice when he talked about the Cavs' perceived all-star snub.
"It shows the disrespect that Cleveland basketball and Cleveland everything continues to get," LeBron said.
Just another reason for Clevelanders to worry about LeBron signing with the Knicks. It's bad enough the Browns stink, the Indians haven't won a World Series in 60 years and Cleveland is now being battered with near-record snowfall. Now fans have to dread the day they wake up and read the headline: "LeBron Is Gone!"
And then you know what happens, right? They go from revering LeBron in Cleveland to reviling him. He will be transformed from the treasured King James I to the treasonous King Louis XVI.
Trust us, Cleveland.
We know.
After Shaq left, we know better than anyone.
We know you want to believe LeBron is loyal to Cleveland because it's where he grew up; that he is devoted to the Cavs because they made him the No. 1 pick; that he will stay with the franchise because it can offer him more money than anyone.
Don't kid yourself.
If LeBron really wanted to stay in Cleveland, he would have already signed a long-term extension like young Dwight did last year in Orlando. LeBron has only one year left on his contract after this season. That's all you need to know.
If he's happy in Cleveland, why not just sign an extension right now?
When I asked LeBron that very question Thursday, he replied: "I don't know, man. I'm focusing on playing games. My contract is something I'm not thinking about right now. If I sign or don't sign, I'm still here for another year and a half."
And then you might as well break out the Sinatra CD and sing along:
"Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today. I want to be a part of it — New York, New York!"
Just as Shaq always loved L.A., LeBron seems to be in a New York state of mind. Everybody knows that's why the Knicks recently cleared a mountain of cap room in preparation for a 2010 offseason that is already being tabbed "The Summer of LeBron."
Poor Cleveland.
Poor, poor Cleveland.
LeBron leaving there will be much more devastating than Shaq leaving here.
When Shaq left, Orlando fans woke up in the morning and the sun still came up.
When LeBron leaves, Cavs fans will wake up and still have to live in Cleveland.

That's some cold shit.

Hey did you guys hear that LeBron scored 52 and had a triple double at basketball mecca last night? It was kind of kept quiet, so that's probably why you didn't hear.
