I remember the day when former St. John’s basketball coach Steve Lavin recruited the rangy 6’6 lefty from Leuzinger High School in my hometown of Lawndale, California, who was also a baseball pitcher with high heat that clocked 96 mph. The prospect was Amir Garrett and his first love was for basketball, a game he was pretty darn good at. He was considered a four star recruit and played one season at the prestigious Findlay Prep in Las Vegas, so the recruiting war for his services was rather intense. Leuzinger is the same high school that produced 2017 NBA MVP Russell Westbrook and a number of there NBA players, so Garret was right on track. By the time he had arrived at St. John’s he was alr

Last year the pending speculation was whether LeBron James majestic gifts were slipping a bit and if he was thinking about the end and his legacy. After LBJ proved all of the doubters wrong in leading the Cavs to yet another championship appearance against the Golden State Warriors which had just added Kevin Durant, the critics were set to make LeBron’s pending free agency the curtain that would drop on the Cavs championship window, but now looms an even greater concern for the Cleveland Cavaliers. This issue is greater than the Cavs competing for championships, LeBron’s pending free agency or even a fourth consecutive trip to the NBA Finals. It is the mysterious health of the only head coac

The long awaited and elusive title shot for Don King’s gifted 140 pound pugilist Amir Iman will finally unfold on Saturday March 17 at Madison Square Garden, and televised live on ESPN at 8p.m. Eastern Time. Iman, a native of nearby Albany New York, has bounced back nicely after his title hopes were derailed by Adrian Granados in Canada on Nov. 28, 2015 in a shocking TKO defeat. It was a fight that like his many others had been dominated by the hard punching 27-year old, but also one that saw his once spotless undefeated record dashed. However, thanks in large part to his Hall of Fame promoter King, Iman knocked out two opponents in 2016 and another last Nov. 11, 2017 and here he is on the

LOS ANGELES--The Los Angeles Lakers welcomed their former employee to the Staples Center on Sunday night. The newly acquired Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson, received nothing but roaring cheers from Lakers fans. Though, Clarkson got what he probably expected from the crowd, he didn’t leave with what he hoped for- a victorious night. The Lakers gave Clarkson and his entourage a violent physical beating- routing the Cavs 127-113. Clarkson struggled terribly in the deficit, shooting 1-of-8 for four points in his worst game as Cavalier. Despite losing one of the most anticipated games on the Cavs schedule, Clarkson didn’t appear to hold any animosity towards the city. As a matter of fa

“I will look after you and I will look after anybody you say needs to be looked after, any way you say. I am here. I brought my whole self to you. I am your mother.” ― Maya Angelou, Mom & Me & Mom The month of March is celebrated as Women’s History Month, frequently chronicling those women who have sacrificed beyond the norms of humanity in many aspects of society. However, many women who have gave birth to and raised children have already sacrificed beyond the norms of humanity. Often being a mother is the most priceless gift of human kind and their journey from beginning to end can be one of the most difficult, thus the concept of Women’s History is one that can and should be celebrated ev

LeBron James' 13-year-old son, LeBron James Jr., recently led his middle school team to an ISL title in Ohio. Junior continued his trend in following in his father’s enormous footsteps last week the John Lucas All-Star Weekend in Houston. As LeBron Jr.'s godfather, Rockets guard Chris Paul, watched from the sidelines in awe of the child hoop prodigy. When LeBron Jr. went airborne for a vicious block, the camera panned back to Paul who was stunned. 13-year-old LeBron James Jr.'s dominant AAU performance demonstrated further proof why LeBron Sr. hopes to sick around to play alongside his son in the NBA and its always understandable why his father raves about his son’s game. LeBron Sr. will lik
