LeBron Teams Up Against Poverty
While many are likely caught up in the beginning of the NBA Playoffs, or even the final few seconds of the game against the Sixers, LeBron James continues to add to his philanthropic ways by joining female tennis star Maria Sharapova in a fight against poverty.
Sharapova, the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Program, reportedly invited James to be a part of the 50-odd athletes that will raise money for specific anti-poverty activities including (but not limited to) HIV/AIDS projects and water sanitation initiatives.
Given that there is a photo shoot with James and Sharapova, let’s just hope that it doesn’t garner the negative attention that came from the infamous Vogue cover.

Cleveland fans have been waiting since 1964 for the Browns to win a title. Fans have waited since 1948 for the Indians to win a World Series. Fans have never witnessed a Cavaliers Championship. They have come close, but every year they are forced to wait. And wait they will. Because Cleveland sports is a tradition; a rite of passage for millions in Northern Ohio.
This site is the result of three such fans, who wanted to share their opinions, frustrations and hopefully victories with you.

After a bit of my own investigation I determined that Sharapova won the U.S. open in 2006 in New York. Another blatant attempt to lure Bron-Bron away.

The only other time I have seen a hand that size was at a Eubie Blake concert.
