August 9th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

Apparently Dan Gilbert, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley and the entire city of Cleveland aren’t the only ones upset that LeBron James has left the Cavaliers.  Allegedly, his best bud, hip-hop mogul and part owner of the New Jersey Nets, Jay-Z, is also angry with King James’ decision to fly south for the winter.

As I sit here on my sofa writing this, you’re probably out at a casino, golf course or ritzy, all-you-can-eat buffet somewhere, having the time of your life.  But I have something other than cards, bunkers and food on my mind. Read the rest of this entry »
