He’s not in the NBA Finals, but the LeBron James circus remains front and center
BOSTON
Just because LeBron James didn't play his way into the NBA Finals doesn't mean he's not front-and-center, that he's back home like everybody else in Cleveland, depressed over such a crushing dismissal from the playoffs. LeBron, from all appearances, has recovered nicely. Fast, too. In fact, you can see LeBron just as much as Kobe Bryant or Rajon Rondo. Some would say the Courtship of LeBron James is upstaging the NBA Finals. I'll just say the two events are running concurrently.
Actually, it's possible there's more activity related to LeBron than to Lakers-Celtics, especially if a billionaire buys the Clippers essentially to get in position to get LeBron, which is what entertainment mogul David Geffen appears to be up to in Los Angeles.
