Dambrot is entering his fifth season as head coach after serving as an assistant for three seasons under Dan Hipsher. Scheduling [...]

Cavs, Browns, Pryor, etc

January 17, 2008

– It has been quite a change for LeBron James.
Last season, at this time, his play late in games was questioned. This season, he only seems to play in the fourth quarter, scoring at will at that, leading the league in scoring.

Dick Vitale who said last season that LeBron would someday be considered the equal of Michael Jordan said this morning that the Cavs will win in 7. He said LeBron would be like a young Magic and not allow his team to lose.

WOW!

June 1, 2007

LeBron James put on a show for the NBA world on Thursday night, and now all of his critics are singing his praises.
