Lebron James Mother


Lebron James Mother
1. Don’t know about you, but I feel sorry for LeBron James after this latest alleged Mama Eruption. Gloria James needs to stop taking her talents to South Beach, as some Twitterati have suggested.
More importantly, she needs to stop embarrassing her son, who conducts himself in a highly reputable manner and has since Day 1 in the spotlight.
Marv Marinovich, Jim Pierce, Richard Williams. Usually the parental distraction in sports comes from the paternal side.
This one is different — and it has to stop.
2. How does Brad Penny do it? It’s one model/actress after another for the former Marlins pitcher, who won two games in the 2003 World Series but still looks like Larry the Cable Guy. Penny’s latest conquest is fiancee Karina Smirnoff — no relation to Yakov. The Ukrainian ballroom dancer and “Dancing With The Stars” regular will appear nude in the May issue of Playboy. Better her than her future husband.
3. Apparently Rick Barry has thrown his hat in the ring for the UM basketball coaching job. Uh, good luck with that. On the other hand, wouldn’t it be wild if he taught the whole team to shoot underhand free throws?
4. So Kansas State coach Frank Martin still hasn’t been contacted about the Hurricanes’ vacancy. Can’t say I blame the U for that. Was Michael Beasleyready for NBA life once he left Martin’s program? Have the Wildcats, on balance, overachieved or underachieved during Martin’s tenure? (Obviously the latter.) Plus, the man is a sideline maniac who calls to mind the character from an old Curb Your Enthusiasm episode. Remember Krazee-Eyez Killa?
5. Ian Poulter, my hastily chosen Masters pick, opened with a 2-over 74 on Thursday. So much for that. Would be nice to see Tiger Woods (opening 71) make another run at it, though.
