It May Very Well Be LeBron's World We Are All Living In.

- My biggest beef with LeBron James has never been his obvious talent, it's with the fact that he coasts through huge parts of games, even parts of the regular season, and seems more interested in being a brand than the best basketball player in the world. He may have arrived last night though. He was simply incredible as he scored 25 straight Cavs points and 29 of their last 30 to lead them to a win in double OT. I hope it's a sign of things to come.

- Nice to see Doc hasn't missed a beat.

- Knocked Up looks like a must see.

- Billy Donovan is going to be a terrible NBA coach. His biggest asset as a very successful college coach was his ability to (illegally) recruit star players. He won't have that chance in the NBA and he won't have guys aged 18-22 to pal around with. College players want their coach to be their buddy. NBA players want their coach to be invisible away from the court.

Donovan is also a lousy game coach and will be badly exploited, especially playing in the same division as a coach like Pat Riley.

- Ms. Skeelo and I thought something else was on and accidentally caught some of the Spelling Bee. Christ it's intense. I couldn't even fathom going through something that pressure packed at that age.

- Happy 70th to Morgan Freeman, who has the best voice in Hollywood other than James Earl Jones. If my life was ever made into a documentary I would want Freeman narrating it.

- The level of professionalism and debate in the House of Commons just isn't getting any better is it?
