There are so many heroic stories in sports, but none is quite like the plight of LeBron James. Alonzo Mourning came back from kidney cancer, Pat Tillman died fighting in Afghanistan and Kobe Bryant came back from rape charges (well that's not heroic but the fact he was able to keep his ridiculously beautiful wife after the ordeal was). LeBron James, well LeBron James hurt his big toe and played through it.........for awhile.It appears James is contemplating sitting out a few games to rest his toe. As anticipated, X-Rays and an MRI confirmed #23 needs to grow a set and man up. Doctors aren't exactly sure how he hurt it but they did confirm that the injury doesn't look like the result of any overexertion on the defensive side of the ball. James was able to shoot around, stretch and toss the pigskin around at practice with fellow cavalier Sasha Pavlovic, but it is still unclear whether he will be ready to go this week. "We're playing every other day and we have back-to-backs and there isn't much rest time.....It's something I need to think about and sit down with the coaches and come up with a solution," James said.
It's not all sad news though in the world of LeBron James. His foundation hosted a celebrity roast on Sunday to raise money and to well... honor himself. LeBron hosted the likes of Cedric the Entertainer (who hasn't come up with any new material since the Original Kings of Comedy), Paul Rodriquez (who can only make Hispanic people laugh) and Ralphie May (who has never made anyone laugh). After dinner, the "King" showed a video about his foundation and then, of course, finished it off by thanking his mother for raising him and for the tab he still has for her DUI and kicking out the window of a police cruiser.

Let’s lay the LeBron bashing to rest. Regardless of the situation, he is still the King and the only positive sports figure in Cleveland. If he wants to rest his big toe, then let it be. That big toe is our only ticket to any sort of excitement, unless you find it exciting to watch that bum/stiff Jason Michaels attempt to lay down a bunt or see that pudgy blob shortstop continuously striking out.
we have a baseball team?
I don't mind some lebron bashing in moderation. He's not perfect. We all like him but at times, he makes some questionable decisions.
You guys all know I love to bash him. I should have been invited to the Roast!
Kobe's better. Nuff said
Whateva dude. Kobe this kobe that. He took every shot when he hit 81, like lebron couldn't do that. slow yo roll big boy.
The problem is, Lebron doesn't make shots big boy!
Yea what's with this guy, what a girl. I can't stand players who don't play through their injuries.
i hope he breaks his other toe
