Lebron James Is Annoyed His 10-Year-Old Son Is Already Getting Recruited

In an interview with a local radio station in Detroit on Tuesday, Lebron James admitted that his son has recently garnered the attention of some university athletic departments. And he’s not too happy about it.

“Yeah, he’s already got some offers from colleges,” he told the radio station. “It’s pretty crazy. It should be a violation. You shouldn’t be recruiting 10-year-old kids.”

But seriously, the kid is GOOD. Here he is dominating at John Lucas All-Star Weekend, one of the most competitive youth basketball tournaments in the country.

The video was posted on Feb. 23 and has more than 4.7 million views on YouTube. youtube.com

Guess we’ll have to wait another eight years before finding out where Lebron James Jr. decides to take his talents.


In the meantime, he and his younger brother, Bryce, will continue to rock the coolest kicks and backpacks at school.

Rest easy, Slate: Twitter has your #NewRedskinsNickname

http://twitter.com/#!/iowahawkblog/status/365600346338365441

Now that Slate has drawn a line in the sand and forbidden itself from referring to the Washington Redskins by that “extremely tacky and dated” name, what’s the site to do if the team merits coverage in the future? In its headline announcing the decision, Slate simply referred to the Washington _____ and made a case for renaming the team the Redtails in a nod to the city’s African-American heritage.

That doesn’t really capture the essence of today’s Washington, though, does it? There are so many other suggestions for the #NewRedskinsNickname that really capture the essence of D.C.

George H.W. Bush has a thing for colorful socks: patriotic socks, pink socks, Superman socks and just plain “crazy” socks. The former president’s wife? Not so much.

His cactus-themed socks will be auctioned off at the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland’s Harvest Ball on Oct. 26.
