NBA.com and the AP have reported… LeBron James is leaving Cleveland — for Hollywood.
The Cavaliers superstar and reigning NBA MVP will make his feature film debut by playing himself in an upcoming comedy.
James will appear in “Fantasy Basketball Camp” by Universal Pictures. The movie is about five guys from different backgrounds who come to Las Vegas to live out their fantasy by attending James’ basketball camp. Production will begin next summer, when James can become a free agent. 
James is experienced in front of the camera. Along with appearing in numerous TV commercials, he has hosted “Saturday Night Live.”
Producer Brian Grazer is convinced the All-Star forward can make the transition to the big screen, as rapper Eminem did in “8 Mile.” Grazer also produced that picture.
“I initially sought LeBron out because my 8-year-old son, Thomas, and I were just dying to meet him,” Grazer said. “But I felt that beyond being one of the world’s great superstar athletes, here was someone so relaxed and comfortable with himself that he would have the capability to be that way on screen. Later, when I watched him host ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and saw his advertising work, it was clear he can do this.”
James will be an executive producer on the project along with his business manager, Maverick Carter.
This summer, James has been promoting “More Than a Game,” a documentary which chronicles how he and four childhood friends achieved their dream of winning a high school national championship. The film opens Oct. 2.

This is why North Carolina is North Carolina and the rest of the ACC is just trying to “Be like MIke.”
North Carolina is hosting a year-long celebration of the 100th year of Carolina Basketball. There is no disputing the numbers… 17 of the last 21 years the ACC Championship address has included Durham or Chapel Hill. This recent event was stunning.

There is so much more to every story than meets the eye. The Allen Iverson to Memphis story can’t be written until it actually happens. No one argues the facts on either side of this… Iverson can really play, is capable of big numbers with the ball in his hands. ”The Answer” coming off the worst season of his career, one that saw him tear a team apart from the locker room to the bench. Sean Deveney of the Sporting News makes some very interesting points.

Michael Heisley, the owner of the Memphis Grizzlies, and the team’s staff are meeting with Allen Iverson as the sides move closer to a deal bringing the veteran guard to a very young team, ESPN announced.
This is another example of a young team trying to “get good quick” and gamble on a questionable, aging free agent. The locker room is a delicate place with young players. If Allen goes into that locker room and can’t handle his role behind younger, more prominent guys, it could mean bad chemistry as well as other problems the Grizzlies don’t need.
Iverson dropped his strongest hint yet that he will soon be joining the Grizzlies, announcing via his Twitter account Sunday night that he had a face-to-face meeting scheduled today with team owner Michael Heisley and other club officials.
“I want to help them develop a winner,” Iverson wrote.
Reached later Sunday by ESPN.com, Heisley confirmed that the meeting would take place in Atlanta, where Iverson has been working out in preparation for next season.
Yet Heisley cautioned that an agreement in principle with Iverson has not yet been reached, saying: “[The meeting] does not mean it’s a done deal. He wants to meet and have some questions answered and we want to meet.”
Memphis is believed to be the only team actively pursuing the four-time scoring champion and has established its willingness to sign Iverson to a one-year deal worth $3.5 million.
