Trouble in "The Kings" Palace

The facts are here, and it is clear to see. LeBron James has become a sore loser and we are seeing it take place before our eyes. Whether it is the pressure of being the best in the league and not having a ring yet, or hearing the media talk like he is already a member of the New York Knicks, something is getting to him. Lets take a stroll down memory lane to the 2009 NBA Playoffs. The Caviliers sweep there first two opponents, like they are not even on the court. Then they meet Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic. The Orlando Magic end up defeating the Caviliers and shocking the the basketball world. Now, we all know how close LeBron and Dwight are. Both members of the 2009 USA Gold Medal Olympic Basketball team. They were together early and often. LeBron walked off the court, after his team was defeated, and would not shake Howards hand. The handshake has become a staple in professional sports after games, showing respect to other teams. This was the beginning of LeBrons miscues. Now we have him confiscating tapes of a college sophomore dunking over him, because he did not want to be seen in that kind of spotlight. He believes it may cause people to lose respect for him across the league. LeBron, no one will lose respect for you if you shake the hand of a winning friend, or have footage of someone dunking on you. This will make you look more human, and your peers will only gain respect for you. There is time to turn this around, just make a U-turn and dont keep on down this path.

When It Rains, It Poors

This just adds insult to injury. The Pitt Panthers lost Dejuan Blair, Sam Young, and Levance Fields to the NBA Draft this past year. The season had already looked bleak, but there was hope for the Panthers because of the young talent that they had in the backcourt, including point guard Jermaine Dixon. Yesterday, Dixon broke his foot playing in a summer league game in upstate New York. There is no timetable for Dixons return, as there no indication on how bad of a brake it is at this point. I will try to get this information and get it out to my readers as soon as it becomes available.

STATE OF CHAMPIONS

The Phillies defeat a hot Dodger team in October to win the World Series. The Steelers go into Super Bowl 43 favorites, and need a field-long drive, capped off by a spectacular catch by Santonio Holmes in the endzone to capture their 6th title. Lastly, and most surprising in many cases are the Pittsburgh Penguins. They were doubted when they were down 0-2 to Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals, they overcame that obstacle. They were almost given no chance by anyone when they went down 0-2 to the "mighty" Red Wings. They did not overcome that obstacle, they ran straight through it, winning the teams 3rd Stanley Cup in franchise history. It is an honnor to be a member of Pensylvainya right now and see these teams be at the pinnacle of the sporting world. Penslyvainya is truly the "STATE OF CHAMPIONS"
