AN OPEN LETTER TO LEBRON JAMES.
Posted on: June 15, 2015
Hey LeBron! You are a great athlete and a great basketball player. Probably one of the greatest basketball players of all time. But I think you’re trying to do too much. Just think what the score in game five might have been if, when you were driving toward the basket with two or three guys hanging all over you, you suddenly flipped the ball out to the perimeter and one of the your three-point shooters took an easy three-point shot. I hope when the team returns to Cleveland and plays game six that you’ll begin to allow your teammates to get more involved in the game. You have some great teammates. Some great 3-point shooters and it’s a shame not to let them use their talent. And if you do that then, in my opinion, you will not only win Game Six but will more than likely win the NBA Championship as well.
FAVRE AND CHILDRESS, JAMES AND SPOELSTRA. PLAYERS’ BELIEFS AFFECT PERFORMANCE, NOT COACHES’ BELIEFS

No wonder Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress was replaced by Leslie Frazier. The problem between Childress and Quarterback Favre was simple and Terry Bradshaw said it best. That it was smart for new Vikings Head Coach Frazier not to make Favre run plays he didn’t like, which is what Childress must have been doing. The result: Favre passed for 172 yards with no interceptions and the Vikings beat the Redskins, 17-13.
In the case of LeBron James and Miami Heat’s head coach Erik Spoelstra, James complained that Spoelstra played him too many minutes during a loss to the Boston Celtics. A meeting was held the next day between James and Spoelstra and everything was smoothed over. But most importantly, after last Saturday’s loss, James and Dwayne Wade closed the locker room for a 40-minute, players-only meeting. Team spokesman Tim Donovan termed it “productive,” which is probably an understatement. Because of that meeting, allowing everyone to air their feelings, watch for the Heat to win most of their games during the coming weeks.
THE REASON FOR LEBRON JAMES’ SUB-PAR PERFORMANCE AFTER GAME 4 WITH THE BOSTON CELTICS.
Posted on: May 19, 2010
What takes place off the basketball court affects what takes place on the basketball court. I recently came across a report that appeared on Dante West’s website and as of this writing, not a whole lot has been mentioned about it in the media. If true, it would certainly explain Lebron James’ sub-par performance immediately after game four with the Celtics. Here’s what Dante West wrote: “Gloria James, LeBron James’ mom reportedly sleeping with one of LeBron’s teammates and friend, Delonte West. Reports say that LeBron found out about the affair prior to the Celtics’ Game Four match-up against the Boston Celtics in their recently concluded playoff series. LeBron James’ suddenly diminished play from Game 4 on was the result of his being upset about the relationship between his mother and his teammate. Delonte West has had a number of off the court issues in the past; his lifestyle has hardly been beyond reproach. For LeBron James, who has led a seemingly scandal free existence, that fact would likely be particularly difficult to take.”
