Lebron James,
Chris Bosh, and
Dwayne Wade would join the Miami Heat
in July the team almost immediately
sold out their seasons tickets packages while placing another 6,000 on the waiting list. The result? All 30 seasons ticket salespeople
were fired on friday becasuse as a staffer put it
`They let us go because there was really nothing left to do anymore.'' [more inside]

If
William Wesley says LeBron James is
going to play for the Chicago Bulls next year, it is probably true. Known as
World Wide Wes, insiders call him the most powerful man in the NBA. And nobody really knows what he does. “I don’t have any clue what he does or how financially he benefits from this. I don’t know. But he’s just there. He’s around. He knows all the pro guys, their agents, the sneaker people, the coaches, general managers, media people. There’s no one he doesn’t know."

My April 1st spidey sense was tingling like crazy, but I guess it's true if it was in
Time Magazine, that bastion of serious journalism, where Time 100 nominee LeBron James nominated Ohio businessman Jay Schottenstein for the next Time 100 because he, "supported the translation and elucidation of the Talmud Bavli into English, Hebrew and French."
Now if only Jews could
play basketball...
