A Little More on Lamond Murray

Over the last couple of weeks, I had the chance to catch up with former Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Lamond Murray.  It’s hard to believe that this year would mark the 10-year anniversary of Murray leading the Cavs in scoring.

“Cursed” Cleveland Sports Might Get a Documentary

I was checking out Scene Magazine’s website this morning and I saw a post about a new documentary seeking funding via Kickstarter.  Of course the movie is set to be called Cursed.  What else could you possibly call a movie about Cleveland sports?  Ugh. In all fairness to the movie makers, it doesn’t sound like this will be a movie draped in misery and self-loathing...

Chances are, it will never happen. LeBron James may not spend the rest of his career in Miami, but a return to Cleveland is highly unlikely. Given the way he left and judging by Dan Gilbert’s vicious letter, I’m not sure the city would even have him.  However, LeBron refuses to rule out a return.  [...]
