Lebron is Leaving Cleveland...

For Hollywood! The Cavaliers superstar and reigning NBA MVP will make his feature film debut by playing himself in an upcoming comedy. James will appear in "Fantasy Basketball Camp" by Universal Pictures. The movie is about five guys from different backgrounds who come to Las Vegas to live out their fantasy by attending James' basketball camp. Production will begin next summer, when James can become a free agent. Producer Brian Grazer is convinced the All-Star forward can make the transition to the big screen, as rapper Eminem did in "8 Mile." Grazer also produced that picture. James will be an executive producer on the project along with his business manager, Maverick Carter. This summer, James has been promoting "More Than a Game," a documentary which chronicles how he and four childhood friends achieved their dream of winning a high school national championship. The film opens Oct. 2.

Pacers Can't Keep Up The "Pace"

The Boston Celtics have added a key player to their lineup in the man of Marquis Daniels from the Indiana Pacers. He was a 6 year player, all 6 with the Pacers, but they could'nt hold on to him. He is a 6 foot 6, 200 lbs guard who will probably be backing up either Paul Pierce or Ray Allen, or both of them. He is a very skilled player who can shoot and pass just as good as anyone on the team. I think that by adding him, they are adding more depth to their bench and more skill and just another piece of the puzzle to pull in another NBA Championship.

New Guy In Town

The other night while I was looking at the Celtics website for some news, I looked at the roster for this upcomming season and I saw a name I didn't recognize. His name was Lester Hudson, a rookie out of TMU, or Tennessee-Martin University. I decided that I wanted to see if he was a good player so I went on youtube and I found some videos of him and found out that he is a very good player. The Celtics are going to be very fortunate to sign him this season because he is lights out from downtown, like Ray Allen, and he can dunk it like KG, and he can make amazing passes like Rajon Rondo. Hudson is a 6 foot 3, 190 lbs guard who I think should back up Paul Pierce. Lester Hudson set numerous records at his college in the 2 years that he played there. For example, he scored 1,727 points in his 2 years at TMU, which was 2 points less than the all time scoring record, but that was set by a player who played there for 4 years instead of 2. So if he can scored all those points in that time, then I cant wait to see what he can do for the Celtics this year.
