via NYTimes: Many would think that LeBron James just can’t get any better considering his numbers are all ready ridiculous.  But apparently he doesn’t feel that way. I think his recent jog with ray allen proves that. MIAMI (AP) — After a recent Miami Heat practice in Washington, Ray Allen told the coaching staff he was skipping the bus ride and running back to the hotel. LeBron James’ ears perked up. With that, the three-time NBA MVP went looking for his running shoes. “LeBron said, ‘If you’re going to do that, I’m going to do that too. I’m not going to be outdone by somebody else. I’m going to run,’” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “So he gets very competitive with things like that. If other people are working on their game, he takes notice.”
