CLEVELAND — On the court where he burst onto the national scene as a high school phenom, LeBron James lived out a childhood All-Star dream.
He spotted Romeo Travis, now a coach at St. Vincent-St. Mary and Willie McGee, the athletic director at their alma mater. There was Dru Joyce Jr., following his dad’s coaching footsteps as an assistant at Cleveland State and Sian Cotton, coaching football back at St. V., as it’s known, and Frankie Walker Jr.
James recalled how he and his friends felt in 1997, when the NBA dropped into Cleveland and celebrated its 50th anniversary. This All-Star break is a welcomed one for the Lakers’ superstar, who despite being 37 and in the fourth quarter of his career, remains in the conversation as being the league’s best player.
“We’ve had a little bit of everything. It’s been very challenging, very physically and emotionally draining at times, but that’s the NBA season for you.” “I love the way we’ve played the last few games,” he said. “At the trade deadline, the energy shifted in our locker room. One resulted in a win. One resulted in a loss in the Bay. But I hope we can continue that same energy, that same connectivity, and as a leader of the team, obviously, it starts and ends with me, and we go from there.”Whether playing in Los Angeles, Miami or Cleveland, James sets the tone.
