It's time to prepare the throne, the King has arrived in New York! Lebron James is set to make his only appearance this season at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks. Take a look.

Hey Andrew,

Decided to have some fun with this. It's a humor piece about Survivor for athletes. I had a blast writing it, and I hope you get a good laugh out of it :)

If you get the time, I'd love to hear what you think. If not, no worries.

Hey Andrew,

I think the best part of sports is the passion involved, so I wrote an opinionated piece on why I think a perfect athlete is capable of crying, both win or lose. I’d love for you to check it out and let me know what you think. If you’re too busy, no worries.

Hey Andrew,

Yao Ming has done so much for the game of basketball, that I felt compelled to write a tribute. I'd love for you to take a look and let me know what you think! Again, I hope my passion comes through and it's a good read.

Thanks Rojo! What a mess up THAT was! HA! I made them look WAY TOO GOOD.

Everyone in Portland talks about the Jail Blazers with blatant disregard for the TRUTH.

It was a mess started by the management and then the team, fans, and media, all got into a big fight in which NOBODY did the right thing.

Nice angle on the Zach/revenge piece. You may want to edit the Clips W-L record. You have it reversed.
