I spent about about 2-3 hours last week searching all of the LA realty sites last week looking for photos inside of his new house and found absolutely nothing. Shoutout to Curbed LA for doing my job for me.
While searching I did come across something that I found strange… maybe I’m showing my home owning ignorance here, but why would LeBron pay $21 million for a house with an estimated worth of $9.7 million? That’s more than double. Am I missing something here?
Nothing Earth shattering here, just a simple clip to get your Saturday morning started. I’ve watched this clip about 50 times and I laugh every single time. I can’t recall what happened before this exchange but it looks like Tristan is giving Kevin that look like something embarrassing just happened to him? TT probably gave him that look after Porzingis dunked on him earlier this season too.
Maybe Tristan stole a rebound away from Kevin?
My favorite Cavaliers phenomenon: Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson fighting over uncontested rebounds.
“My bucket list is to meet LeBron,” he tells me. “That’s the one thing I want to do. Meet LeBron James. That’s my role model. He inspires me to do everything. To be a good person, to put other people first, to live your life and do what makes you happy. If I meet LeBron James, that would make my day. I wouldn’t ask for anything.”
I tell Emanuel that LeBron is a great guy and would no doubt be honored to meet him. I tell him, let’s see if the Cleveland Cavaliers are coming to Bankers Life Fieldhouse this season to play the Pacers. Emanuel and I have talked several times, in person and on the phone, and now we’re on the phone and I’m telling him to wait as I look up the Pacers’ sched–
“They’re here Feb. 1,” he tells me.
How did you get that so fast?
“I’ve got the Cavaliers app on my phone.”
LeBron would be lucky to meet this kid. It’s like what Bryan Rutland was thinking when he tried to get Emanuel Duncan on the team. The football team needs, LeBron needs – everyone needs – a little bit of what Emanuel Duncan has.
Fast forward to Thursday night and Doyel gets this text from Emanuel (via @GreggDoyelStar)
LeBron sent Emanuel Duncan of Indy a signed jersey, some shoes, promise bands and some @beatsbydre headphones. First-class move, @KingJames.
Pretty awesome story about Emanuel Duncan and pretty awesome gesture from LeBron James. Knowing that someone contacted LeBron after reading Doyel’s story and then knowing LeBron took the time out of his day to write this letter and send this package is pretty wonderful. It just shows you that all of the hate that LeBron gets is so unwarranted.
Now let’s get Emanuel to that Pacers-Cavs game on February 1st. We need some Cavs fans in Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
