Lebron James

Yes, as in the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA player Lebron James. I'm quite a fan of basketball.

So I'm watching the Cavs vs. The Wizards. Gibson throws back a ball at James, who leaps up as if he legs are actually flesh covered springs, palms the ball, and dunks it so powerfully, I think I heard the china shake in the cupboards. And this is hours AFTER the games has already aired, in another country.

Overrated someone dare call this exceptional version of a man, a man that proves by his existence alone that evolution is a continual process in the human race. James had a grace normally accredited to prima ballerinas, not 6 foot 9 inch, 250 pound, NBA basketball players. He is science. He manipulates physics and masters geometry by proving that there is not angle from which he cannot sink a ball into a basket.

But despite this impressive physique, he is still a boy. You see it in his eyes. He has an innocence and he is an everyman. So confident in his skill that he willingly gives away a shot that could easily be his, because he believes in teamwork.

Today, I created a character in my head and only I, and now any one who ever reads this will know that the source of my inspiration was Lebron James. Many would never believe that this champagne chugging, Chanel wearing, aspiring writer would ever watch a basketball game.

Well now you know one of my secrets. Sorry it's not a dirtier one.
