LeBron James made an appearance at his LeBron James Skills Academy camp in Akron, Ohio yesterday —and he was wearing a Yankees cap! Maybe Yankees GM Brian Cashman knows something when he says, "LeBron James is going to be a Knick... I'm convinced of it. New York is the place that will allow LeBron to be the player and person he wants to be, and it's all coming together. Just listen, LeBron James will be a Knick."
Of course, Cashman was only speaking on what ESPN calls "gut instinct. But that gut instinct was right on the $423.5 million offseason score of CC Sabathia, Mark Teixeira and A.J. Burnett that inspired the Yankees' 27th World Series title."
In other LeBron news, he joined Twitter—on Chris Paul's suggestion—and had about 100,000 followers before he Tweeted anything. But now the King has spoken, "Hello World, the Real King James is in the Building "Finally". My Brother @oneandonlycp3 gas'd me up to jump on board so I'm here. Haaaa"
