The Zoom Lebron III Birthday Shoe was leaked onto Niketown.com earlier today and was quickly taken off. Niketalk members who saw this said the title had the word “bundle” in it so perhaps the it is a Lebron James birthday bundle? Members did not say a price but it’s probably more expensive. We’ll wait and see when the go back up on niketown.

Within the next few weeks, LeBron James should have a better feeling on where he stands with USA Basketball.

James said Wednesday that he has been in contact with Phoenix Suns chairman Jerry Colangelo, who is USA Basketball’s managing director, and is trying to set up a meeting with him soon. Colangelo has contacted about 40 players and is holding meetings with potential members of next summer’s World Championship team and 2008’s Olympic team.

Tune in almost any sporting event these days, and it probably won’t be long before LeBron “King'’ James appears on the screen.

The new Nike advertising campaign featuring the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar has been praised for its creativity, and the company responded with a December media blitz to rival any beer-company ad buys.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 20 (Ticker) — Zydrunas Ilgauskas did some damage inside and Damon Jones attacked from outside.

Ilgauskas scored all 18 of his points in the first three quarters and Jones made four 3-pointers in the third period as the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled to their third straight win, a 110-85 victory over the Utah Jazz.

LeBron James scored 25 points in less than three quarters for Cleveland, which overcame a slow start to outscore Utah, 60-30, in the middle two periods.

With the Cleveland Cavaliers on the verge of blowing a big lead, LeBron James took matters into his own hands.

James scored 16 of his 41 points in the final 7½ minutes to repel a rally and lift the Cavaliers to a 115-107 victory over the Miami Heat, who lost for the first time since Pat Riley returned to the bench as head coach Monday.
