The Flip Side of Sports: Love and Basketball
By D. Rodriguez
So it’s really starting to look like even this long after his unceremonious departure from Cleveland, that Miami Heat forward Lebron James has been living in a cave and has no friends.
His first order of business of 2012 (just days after the NBA ended its 161 day lockout) and just moments after ringing in the New Year , King James dropped to one knee and popped the question to high school sweetheart and mother of his children , Savannah Brinson.
She did say yes. No date has been announced
Now I am all for love and basketball but with everything that has happened around him you have got to wonder what this kid is thinking (or why in fact he isn’t)
(Most obvious) -Kobe Bryant and all his fiascos and now impending DIVORCE
Teammate Dwayne Wades’ marriage to his HIGH SCHOOL SWEET HEART ended in DIVORCE.
Chris Bosh is SUING the mother of his children for appearing on the reality show “BASKETBALL WIVES”
………now that “reality show” in and of itself should be the smack in the back of the head that he obviously isn’t getting from his teammates , peers or just by simply PAYING ATTENTION to the formula…..these women USED TO be married or date NBA players and they are getting PAID !!!!!!
If it’s not the cave, is it the holidays or just an “in the moment” type of thing??? Even the great Michael Jordan just got engaged over the Christmas weekend to the 16 year younger CUBAN SUPERMODEL he has been dating for 3 years.
She did say yes. No date has been announced
(EDITOR'S NOTE: She is 16 years younger, and a Cuban Supermodel…….I might just have to let Mike slide on this one)
It also makes you wonder if his teammates aren’t saying a word because they are mad that he got her a ring before the one he promised them.
