"SLAM! duuh duuh duuh, duuh duuh duuh, let the boys be boys!"

if you were to create a venn diagram for lebron james and myself, you would find us in the middle where the circles meet.

let me break it down:

lebron and i were born in the latter part of december of 1984 (30th and 27th).

lebron james writes with his left hand, but his right hand is dominant on the court (same with me).

lebron james has a lucrative shoe deal with nike. i have a lucrative shoe deal with fila (a company that hasn't been important since sponsoring grant hill, and the forgettable in 5 years, jerry stackhouse, as well as late tlc rapper, left eye's, rhyme that finishes off their classic, "no scrubs," with, "t-boz and all my senoritas is steppin' on your filas").

lebron james has so much money. so do i.

lebron james is dominant on the court. so am i.

lebron james wants to be a global icon. i already am (this might actually be a difference, but there is no doubt in my mind that lebron will reach global icon status).

lebron james didn't play college ball. neither did i (actually, i played on team narhwale for four seasons, but we'll look past that for the sake of similarity).

lebron james won an olympic gold medal. i kind of did.

and the list goes on and on. the only real difference between us is that i've attended college.

in other news, there is a new post over here. it is mostly to resurrect the relevance of childhood hero, gheorghe muresan. growing up in the dc area, i had the great honor of watching him play live a few times. he ruined the only potentially exciting play during a bullets-76ers game, where the aforementioned jerry stackhouse was going to have a big dunk. it might have been top 10 most boring games in nba history, and gheorghe decided to foul stackhouse as he rose up to dunk on him.

and if that's not enough for you, ladies, spencer is shirtless over here.
