Nets no match in LeBron derby, either
Fox Sports
by Jay Greenberg, NY Post
Well, LeBron James didn't exactly mean at that political rally that he would stay in Cleveland, only that he always would consider it fondly.
"That's the way I was feeling at that time," he said last night. "Home is always going to be home, and that was what I was basically letting them know."
That will shake 'em in Shaker Heights, get blood pumping again in New York. It even briefly put the shovel that has yet to hit the ground at Atlantic Yards to work exhuming the Nets' hopes at signing James until he said this:
"We all seen the cutting of the ribbon, but that's the last thing we saw with the Nets moving to Brooklyn," he said. "I'm not sure if that's still in the works, but I'm not invested in the team, so I can sleep good at night."
He sleeps better than do his pal, part-owner Jay-Z, and Bruce Ratner. Now that the Nets won't be in to Brooklyn in time for James' 2010 free agency, they can only hope that before he dropped 31 in a 106-82 rout at a depressingly under-capacity Meadowlands on Tuesday, King James excitedly noted that there soon will be indoor skiing there.
